Molori Safari Lodge, South Africa

In South Africa’s Setswana language molori means “to dream” and the Molori Safari Lodge lives up to its name: it’s a stunning place that blends contemporary design with African décor, to the backdrop of uncompromising luxury.

Located in the 75,000-hectare malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Molori had its beginnings as a family getaway of the owners—but today it boasts reputation of one of South Africa’s top lodges.

Molori Safari Lodge opened in January 2009 and is the most stunning ultra exclusive lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve. It has just five glass-fronted suites, each with their own infinity plunge pool and terrace overlooking the reserve, equipped with telescope. All offer an elegant combination of contemporary design and African decor. The two Presidential Suites are huge and even more breathtaking. The Metsi Suite has one bedroom and the Molelo Suite has two bedrooms. Both have infinity swimming pools, kitchen and a dining area.

The food is exquisite and beautifully presented. No detail has been over looked and nothing is too much trouble for the fabulous Molori team. The spa is a relaxing haven of peace and tranquillity, with stunning open plan treatment rooms that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. You can enjoy delightful candlelit dinners al fresco, in the formal dining room and brunch is served on the 'Star Deck' with a great view of the watering hole below.

Established in 1991, malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve is today one of South Africa’s top wildlife destinations offering the chance to see a variety of game including Africa’s ‘big five’. The guiding at Molori is also of the highest standard, bringing the African bush to life.
