Molori Safari Lodge
Welcome to a tranquil haven where ultra-luxurious meets the African wild and where chandeliers and grand pianos meet the untamed bushveld. Deep within the Madikwe Game Reserve, near the Botswana border, Molori Safari Lodge offers a private setting of five immaculate open-air suites. Two premier, two presidential, and one premier family suite all feature floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls that open onto a private deck and plunge pool. Natural stone, timber, and thatch elements are seamlessly integrated into each opulent setting for a true immersion into nature’s magnificence.
Guests at Molori Safari Lodge can soak in breathtaking views of the Dwarsberg Mountains from a choice of living spaces. The main lodge comprises twin infinity pools, a reading deck with daybeds, a library, a bar, living room, and four dining areas.
Game drives at Molori Safari Lodge afford you the opportunity to spot the Super Seven (Big Five, endangered African wild dog, and cheetah). Guests can explore the wild on foot with a guide and learn about the smallest intricacies that contribute to the ecosystem. African wild dog and rhino conservation are also a significant part of the reserve’s operations.
Back at the lodge, unwind with luxurious spa pampering, enjoy east-meets-west gastronomic fusions, and sip on some of South Africa’s finest vintages while gazing at Africa’s shimmering constellations.
