From the moment we arrived we received absolutely excellent service in every single way. From the hotel staff who were helpful, friendly and polite to our beautifully decorated room which was clean and comfortable to the game drives that were exciting, interesting and insightful. Both my wife and I are both qualified Game Rangers ourselves (FGASA) and have spent extensive time in the bush and at various lodges and we were so impressed with every single aspect of Moditlo Lodge during our stay. I would recommend this new lodge to anyone and everyone. It manges to encompass an intimate feel with the luxuries of a big lodge. This lodge has the potential, and indeed is on the way, to being one of the great lodges of SA. ##### charles ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon-Pierre, Paris, france Apr 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent sejour Nous avons vus tous les animaux que nous voulions voir grace aux excellents guide et tracker.

Na Hoedspruit flink doorrijden om Moditlo Lodge te bereiken. Dan nog een kwartiertje rijden op eigen terrein voordat je gastvrij ontvangen wordt. De twee gamedrives vinden niet in het Krugerpark plaats, maar op eigen terrein. In het Krugerpark dient iedereen zich op de (asfalt) wegen te blijven. Hier ging de driver dwars door, langs en over struiken heen om midden tussen een kudde olifanten uit te komen! De braai s'avonds was bijzonder! We zaten ieder in een privé schoolbankje (met lessenaar) naast elkaar. Het eten was er niet minder om.... ##### Ad ### 10/10 Excellent #### Star, Missouri Sep 18, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Outstanding!

An outstanding hotel that left our group of 7 in awe...we'll be talking about it for years to come!! ##### Star ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 17, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect! Good service & room. We could see many kinds of wild animals by game drive. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 14, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Moditlo River Lodge. Worth the visit The property is new modern and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was good not great. The driver guide and tracker were exceptional. They got the most out of a reserve with a smaller animal population. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 14, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A South African' s experience Very comfortable and staff very attentive. The bomas is great but those chairs with their own little tables are too formal awkward and unstable. The sound of traffic esp the train hooting is very unfortunate as it spoils the bush experience. Game drive, too fast to catch up to a maybe sighting and I have never enjoyed crashing through bush, which is thick there, in order to see an animal, most particularly Donna river bed. It damages the environment as well as spoiling it for the people who own houses along the river bed. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### lex, h May 26, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### AMAZING lodge! My husband and I had a WONDERFUL time here! The staff was so incredibly sweet, it was our honeymoon and they set heart shaped roses on the bed with champagne. The game drives were amazing! Our first morning a herd of elephants walked right past our suv and we also stumbled upon a group of giraffes! Walter was our field guide and Bennett was our tracker- both great and personable guys that worked really hard to find animals for us. We saw: hippos, giraffes, elephants, kudu, impalas, wildabeast (not sure how to spell that!) worthog, mongoose, zebras, antelope, vultures, Zulu, monkeys and baboons. I know I'm missing a few animals but those were the highlights! The food was also delicious, I'm a vegetarian and they were very accommodating. Our second night, we had a really cool cookout in a boma and it was a great way to interact with the other guests and eat some traditional South African cuisine. I really can't rave enough. I picked this lodge because it looked beautiful and we really wanted a lodge that was luxurious but not so much a resort that the reserve and purpose for being there got lost. I highly recommend this lodge!!! ##### lex ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 1, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Moditlo O hotel tem uma estrutura boa, tudo muito novo e bonito. Uma piscina com borda infinita com vista para o rio, que durante as cheias tem fluxo forte e intenso e na época das secas torna-se um grande banco de areia, completamente vazio (paisagem muito bonita e interessante). O quarto é bem confortável pro casal, decoração clean e elegante, tudo novo e bem arrumado. Tudo muito limpinho. Uma vez que o quarto está no meio da reserva, insetos e rastejantes podem aparecer dentro do quarto. Algumas coisas deixaram a desejar, o quarto não tem telefone ou interfone para a recepção e não se deve sair do quarto desacompangado do segurança por questões de segurança contra animais selvagens e a campainha de emergência não funcionou em uma noite em que precisei. A reserva em si é fechada, não muito extensa e ainda possui poucos animais (apenas 1 leão macho e 3 fêmeas), não possue búfalos ainda. O nosso ranger mostrou-se imaturo e de certa forma imprudente em algumas situações mais arriscadas com elefantes e leões. A comunicação entre o ranger e o tracker era péssima e comprometia a procura pelos animais. A reserva também possue várias propriedades e pequenos sítios dentro, portanto durante os game drives, estamos constantemente em contato com outros veículos e propriedades (sinal de civilização) o que tira um pouco da magia e do contato isolado com a natureza. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danniken, Dortmund Mar 26, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kleine Auszeit im Paradies, mitten im Busch! Wir haben hier zwei wundervolle Tage verbracht. Diese kleine Oase mitten im Busch ist wunderschön angelegt, die Zimmer sind modern und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet sowie sauber. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war super, wir haben den Boma-Abend sehr genossen! Die Gamedrives werden in kleinen Gruppwn durchgeführt. Selbst als wir alle in einen Jeep gepasst hätten, würden zwei genommen. Der Guide hat viel erklärt und unser Tracker uns sogar zu drei schlafenden Geparden geführt! Rundum ein Invest der sich lohnt! ##### Danniken ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sitanshu, Batimore, Maryland Mar 24, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect and comfortable for 1st safari experience This was our first time in South Africa and our very first safari experience. We received a warm welcome from the very hospitable staff at Moditlo Lodge. The rooms are beautifully decorated and have all the amenities that you would need to stay comfortable. The location gives you the perfect sense of staying close to a safari while being pampered in the luxury of a rustic lodge. They even had a bonfire on Saturday night which was the perfect time to enjoy some interesting steaks and wines while catching up with the other lodge members on their safari experiences. The morning and evening safaris are a great way to gain a safari experience and enjoy sighting the birds and animals in their natural habitat. The highlight of our trip was the lion sighting on our first morning safari. We saw a lioness feasting on her morning kill in the bushes about 8 – 10 feet from the safari van. She was surrounded by a lion and another lioness with her two cubs. It was the perfect start to our first (and definitely not the last) experience on a safari. I think Moditlo has great staff on site. They helped new guests like my husband and myself plan activities outside of the lodge, kept us well informed about activities in the lodge and even attended to our meal preferences. All in all it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I can safely say that I will definitely be going back to South Africa and Moditlo River Lodge again. ##### Sitanshu ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sitanshu, Baltimore, Maryland Mar 24, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable & Perfect for 1st safari experience This was our first time in South Africa and our very first safari experience.
