Nice and fresh atmosphere out here

The eco park is a fabulous venue for a daytrip with the family. Good facilities, beautiful animals and a relaxing atmosphere to unwind from the daily hustle & bustle of city life. Well maintained and safe.

I always enjoy being at Bongani Mabaso with my family, it's nice and relaxing.Lat weekend (09/02/2019) when I was there I was disappointed to see dead fish (catfish) in the top pond, as shown in these photos which I posted. It seems some contamination into the water system there at the park or maybe upstream, someone could have unknowingly thrown something in the water which turned out to be poisonous for the fish. From where I was taking the photos from, I saw four big ones and I am not sure how many have actually died, they could probably be more and the bottom pond might also have been affected. Bearing in mind that catfish can survive in very trying environments, it points that whatever happened needs investigation... I informed the gate security personnel to take it further with SASOL.I urge us all to help preserve the park and make sure when we are there enjoying the scenery we do not throw things into the water...

Incredible experience! You get a variety of wild animals, clean braai facilities and secure Lapa areas.. all for free!

Awesomeness place to get in a run or a Braai or just relax with the family in a touch of nature. Entrance is free and there are toilet facilities near the lapa /braai area
