Glamping Sites in Phalaborwa

I wished I had booked two nights at this beautiful place! We arrived from Graskop (we left at 9:30) and spend the day visiting the sites at the panorama route. We arrived at 18, and were leaving at 5 the next day for Kruger (20 min to the gate, we were the first ones there). Eric and Natasha were extremely welcoming and had good tips on where to go for diner etc. They have turned this place in a gem. Every thing was well thought of, from the lovely beds to the good shower, well equipped kitchen and very tasteful decoration. Natasha packed us a lovely breakfast which we enjoyed after having seen the first elephants and zebras. I would have loved to stay another day, enjoying the pool, sunset and the impalas that walk around at the grounds of the lodge. Hopefully another time!

Everything was beyond expectation, I highly recommend a stay here if you get the opportunity. Every detail and bit of care put into your stay is so special both Butch and the owner are just so friendly and accommodating we couldn't have asked for a better stay and this is now our new no.1 spot to stay moving forward. The tents are amazing and you are short of nothing on your stay they have truly thought of it all. Thank you Butch for being so accommodating during our stay and it was absolutely lovely meeting the owner the next morning at the park gate.

Exceptional hospitality and delicious meals. The game drives are amazing, thank you to Hardus & Niel for being so passionate and helpful.

From the moment we arrived at Abelana Safari Camp, we could tell this was going to be a special experience, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The hosts, Marge and John, were the standout highlights of the entire stay. Their warmth, hospitality, and dedication to ensuring we had an unforgettable time were evident in every interaction. The Abelana Game Reserve itself was stunning, with diverse wildlife, vast landscapes, and tranquil settings. The accommodations had that perfect blend of luxury and nature. However, it was Marge and John's personal touch that elevated the experience. They took the time to greet us upon arrival and made sure we were settled in before giving us a brief tour of the property. Marge and John were always available to answer any questions and offer advice. The numerous guided game drives with John were a particular highlight. His knowledge of the wildlife, passion for conservation, geology and astronomy made the drives not just informative but also a genuine pleasure. We saw an impressive range of animals, from majestic rhinos, lions to elusive predators, and John’s ability to spot wildlife from afar was truly impressive. With Marge and John as your hosts, the Abelana Safari Camp was a truly memorable and heartwarming experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience with hosts who genuinely care about making your stay extraordinary.

Intimate setup with limited guests. Excellent accommodation and staff.
