Moditlo River Lodge

Very nice place to stay in Kruger. Our family is very glad. The employers are very Kind and attentious and the Guides are specialists on animal life. We could see much more than expected and live very special moments we will take with us for the rest of our lives.

Arriving at Moditlo we were welcomed by Junce, whom has such a beautiful gentle smile. The Room Facilities and Careful placements of nature incorporated Decorations was stunning with a bed that swallowed my entire soul - while hearing the powerful roar of a nearby Lion as the night creeps in. That sound creates an excitement yet extreme respect towards the rawness of nature which I so vividly was experiencing. The Cuisine was True to the heart of South African traditional meals but bedazzled with the 5 star quality only Moditlo's Chef knows how. Oh, and then the Boma event was fantastic and authentic to the culture. Our Game drive with William and Enock was informative, fun and combined with two men whom are invested in bringing the Moditlo experience to life - a promise to deliver. They spoiled us to the best sundowners I have ever experienced in Africa. The manager Lee is a priceless gem. I can see her heartbeat in the evidence of the tranquility and peace in every way Moditlo River Lodge is operating. Checking out was a good experience too - I felt rested and spoiled to bits. I am definitely recommending Moditlo River Lodge to anyone whom truly just need to go and relax, because Moditlo does the rest.

After a long project in Cape Town, a small group of us ventured over to Moditlo for a little post work decompression getaway. For the two days we were there, we could not have had a better experience - a very nice and accommodating staff, great service, food and drink. After being home for just two days, a return at some point sounds pretty appealing. Yes, the facility was nice, but the safaris were great because of our guide - Jika. The dude has the knowledge, experience, and the jokes. Jokes so good he cracks himself up. He also scored us lots of animal sightings. The rooms, as well as the entire facility, were spotless and well-maintained. I'm not sure about any of the surrounding facilities in the area, but we enjoyed it because it was one of the smaller lodges without a lot of foot traffic and guest noise. The days are pretty structured in order to manage times for safaris, meals and relaxation. Again, we only stayed for two full days. However, there are other sites and activities to see and experience if you're considering a longer stay. Moditlo is situated in the Great Krueger area on a private reserve. We liked this best as it allowed us to see many animals and the area up close. If you stay in Krueger Nat'l Park, it's my understanding that you must stay on the driving paths and you may or may not have many up close animal sightings.

Imagine a hotel where you genuinely feel at home. The staff are exceptionally attentive and warm, making every moment of your stay feel special. It was one of the rare places where, during checkout, we felt as though we were saying goodbye to dear friends before embarking on a long journey. With only a few rooms, the service is remarkably personalized. The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable — every detail thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The chefs crafted exquisite meals with great care, thoughtfully accommodating dietary restrictions and ensuring each dish was a delight. A special thank you to the outstanding team: chefs Steve and Cayla, Cristabel, and the affectionate Thuli — each one played a meaningful role in making our stay so memorable. We’re also deeply grateful to Caswel, our skilled tracker, and Jika, our expert safari driver. Their dedication and passion gave us truly unforgettable encounters with the reserve’s incredible wildlife.

Beautiful place and the staff is super kind and full of joy and really friendly. Rooms are really nice and food also very good. Jika and Caswell were great guides and tracker on our safaris and made the experience great. We had a really amazing time.

Exceptional experience, game drives are out of this world. The food is unbelievably good and the staff go out of their way to make your stay even bettered. Best way to destress and relax for a getaway. The early morning game drives were the best, but let’s not forget the sunset.
