COMPETITIO­N: Exclusive to Travel Club Members

SAFARI Plains – Mabula: Set in a malaria- free area against the backdrop of the magnificen­t Waterberg Mountain Range in the Limpopo Province, this five-star tented lodge will proudly welcome guests from next month.

Safari Plains offers guests an extraordin­ary safari experience on 12 000 hectares of pristine land set on an extension of the Greater Mabula Game Reserve. The experience is one that is strongly focused on ensuring guests are astounded with the best the bush can offer. Just a couple hours’ drive from Gauteng, this luxurious haven is well worth it and will draw everyone who has experience­d it to return time and time again. Safari Plains redefines luxury in the bush from the impressive high-ceiling dining room and elegant lounge, to the impressive bar and relaxing spa. It is the perfect getaway for people who love the bushveld, couples seeking a romantic getaway or families.

Set along the winding sand pathways, each of the 20 breathtaki­ng tented suites commands a stunning space within the natural, indigenous bushveld. These safaristyl­e tents offer utmost comfort and an opulent ambience with private timber wrap-around decks. The six luxury tents offer a larger main area and come complete with a private sala, which is perfect for lounging on a lazy afternoon. All tented suites are tastefully appointed with sunken baths, separate showers and private facilities. The hospitalit­y armoire offers a fully stocked mini bar fridge, with tea and coffee facilities. Airconditi­oning throughout the space ensures that guests can enjoy yearround temperatur­e controlled tented accommodat­ion. The family style luxury tents offer a second bedroom with two twin beds. You never have to leave the opulent comfort of your tent, but we suggest you do.

Furnished in elegant simplicity, the main lodge area provides an aura of romance through plush furnishing­s symbolic of African chic. The Safari Plains team will attend to your every whim, and from delectable à la carte menus to a bountiful wine cellar, this is the perfect accompanim­ent to a romantic candlelit bush dinner. Weddings can be hosted in the heart of the reserve with every attention to detail taken care of – from fairy lights softly twinkling in the night sky to vibrant African entertainm­ent. When booking the lodge for your wedding an entire team will be devoted to creating the most memorable experience for you and your guests.

The lodge can accommodat­e up to 60 guests and, weather permitting, the ceremony can be held in the untamed bush or on the large wooden deck of the main lodge that boasts magnificen­t vistas, followed by a luxurious reception in the sumptuous dining room.
