Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, Waterberg
A private escape in the Waterberg
Indulge. Explore. Revitalise.
Hidden within the greater Mabalingwe Nature Reserve near Bela-Bela, Itaga is an intimate eight-suite retreat shaped by the quiet beauty of the Waterberg. Here, the pace changes; wake to the sounds of the bush, spend the afternoon exploring or relaxing beside the pool, and gather for an evening of good food and conversation.
The Lodge
Private Game Lodge with room to slow down.
Find a quiet corner by the fireplace, watch the waterhole from the deck, or linger as the afternoon light changes across the bushveld.
With only eight suites, a stay at Itaga feels personal and unhurried. Air-conditioned, en-suite accommodation and private covered patios provide a comfortable retreat between time spent exploring the reserve and enjoying the lodge.
Experiences
Let the bush set the pace.
Your time at Itaga Private Game Lodge can be filled with discovery or shaped around a slower rhythm. Set out in the early morning, follow the changing light on an afternoon drive, spend time at the waterhole or simply enjoy the quiet between activities.
From guided morning or afternoon game drives with an experienced guide, to archery, or relaxing next to the pool, at Itaga your soul will be refreshed as you spend time in nature and soak up the beauty Waterberg has to offer.
Wellness
Pause. Breathe. Restore.
In the quiet Limpopo bushveld, wellness begins with permission to slow down. Make space for a treatment after your game drive or choose and afternoon devoted entirely to rest.
Itaga's wellness offering includes massages, hot-stone treatments, manicures, pedicures and beauty treatments; enjoyed against the bushveld backdrop, or in the privacy of your suite.
