Mabalingwe is home to free roaming wildlife, including the Big Five. For your safety and the protection of the animals, guests are strictly prohibited from feeding, approaching, touching, or attempting to interact with any wild animals.

• Never feed or leave food out for wildlife, as this can attract dangerous animals and cause them to associate humans with food.
• Keep a safe distance from all animals, especially leopards, elephants, buffalo and rhinos.
• Never attempt to approach, follow, photograph at close range, or provoke any animal.
• Do not exit your vehicle when viewing wildlife, unless you are in a designated safe area.
• Always supervise children and never allow them to approach wildlife.

Please remember: These are wild animals, not pets. Even animals that appear calm or harmless can become unpredictable and dangerous without warning. Guests who disregard these safety rules do so entirely at their own risk. Prime Lodges accepts no responsibility for injuries, damages or losses resulting from guests approaching, feeding or interacting with wildlife.
