Your Mavela Game Lodge Experience
What sets Mavela Game Lodge apart is it is family-owned and you can feel a sense of pride in the service and safari experience offered to all guests.
Conservation and preserving endangered species is a focus of Mavela Game Lodge in the 23 000 hectare Manyoni Private Game Reserve in northern KZN.
You can be a part of the conservation initiatives by partaking in activities such as rhino dehorning, visiting a rhino orphanage, going on a pangolin walk or tracking wildlife using telemetry equipment.
What would a safari be without the thrill of seeing what animal is around the corner on game drives and safari walks? Not only does Manyoni Private Game Reserve have the Big 5 wildlife (elephant, rhino, leopard, lion, buffalo), but it also has cheetah and wild dog.
Birders are in for a treat as the owners of Mavela Game Lodge are avid birdwatchers and will do whatever it takes to ensure you tick off all the birds on your wish list! The bird specialist guides will help you search for elusive bird species - there are over 425 bird species in the area!
Back at Mavela Game Lodge on warm days, you can lounge by the pool, and on colder nights, you can curl up next to the fireplace. At sunset you can gather at the bar sipping your preferred South African wine as the magic of an African sunset sets on the day.
