Mokala National Park

Conferencing

Introduction

Mokala National Park lies in the heart of one of the safest and least developed parts of our beautiful country, the Northern Cape. This park will become a “must visit” to all nature lovers, outdoor fanatics and everyone else who enjoy fresh air and tranquillity. In contrast to some of the more basic accommodation on offer at most of our national parks, Mokala offers up-market accommodation facilities, state of the art conference venues, first class catering and warm hospitality. Future developments will also include a day visitor’s area and more rustic wilderness self-catering camps.

Conference Facilities

Both the lodges (Mosu & Mofele) have superb facilities for conferences or workshop and teambuilding events. Each conference room can seat 30 delegates in boardroom style or up to 40 delegates in theatre style. There are no breakaway rooms, but both facilities have a big fireplace in each, with air conditioning at Mosu Lodge Conference Room.

Conference Equipment

Tables, Chairs, Flip charts & pens, White board & pens, Overhead Projector, Data Projectors, PA System, Podium, VHS Recorder and TV, CD Player, Mints, Water & Cordials.

Accommodation

The new park currently has two separate lodges. One up market lodge with two air-conditioned executive suites and 13 two bed en-suite rooms with ceiling fans, all draped with suede curtains and bedspreads in sand color, crisp white linen and quality wooden furniture. A cool sparkling blue swimming pool for the warmer months, restaurant with bar, lounge and entertainment area with built in fireplace, and a state of the art conference facility that can host 30 delegates.

The other lodge is more rustic with 9 en-suite rooms, sleeping 30 guests in total, all containing single beds and ceiling fans. It has a restaurant, bar, lounge and entertainment area with build in fireplace for the cooler months. This lodge also has an excellent conference facility that can host up to 30 delegates. Warm exhilarating summers, cold cozy winters, breathtaking sunsets and glittering diamonds in the sky, are all added by nature to compliment an unforgettable visit.
