Moditlo River Lodge Luxury safari, personally delivered.
(483)

Where the Big 5 roam free, making our 36,000 acres their natural home.
15 minutes from Hoedspruit Airport - from the tarmac to a gin & tonic in record time. “Moditlo” means place of the elephant and the spirit of this unique and gentle animal echoes the extraordinary experience that awaits you when entering the 36000 acre Private Blue Canyon Conservancy, just 16 kilometres outside of Hoedspruit adjacent to the world renowned Greater Kruger National Park. The brand new ultra luxurious 18 bedroom lodge, is built in a very modern contemporary style, yet it resembles traditional bush living and offers guests a private retreat, hidden away in the African bush where man and Big 5 meet…. Moditlo River Lodge runs a children’s program with dedicated child-minders for complete peace of mind while you relax on the pool deck or enjoy a mud bath before being pampered by our trained masseurs. The Njala, our state of the art fine dining restaurant overlooks the Nbesi River, and it is here where guests can enjoy the best cuisine and w**e that Africa has on offer. Our hosts will also introduce guests to traditional bush barbeques (braai’s) while local tribes dance and sing the night away…. The Game drives on our brand new Luxury Toyota Land Cruisers, conducted by our passionate and experienced nature guides, will not only introduce guests to the African wildlife but will send you home with an in depth knowledge of the trees, birds and animals, that roam this very unique part of the world.

The table is set. The fire is lit. And everyone’s gone quiet. 🔥

Seven days. 🌒

You’ve seen the waterhole. You’ve seen the tracker’s seat. Now you’re at the fire, where the real conversations happen once the sun goes down. Some of your theories are closer than you think. 👀

On 14 October, Invisible premieres on M-Net and the truth finally comes out. It’s based on Deon Meyer’s Blood Safari and was filmed right here at Moditlo, in the Hoedspruit bushveld.

Last chance to WIN a seat at this fire 🐘
Two nights for two at Moditlo River Lodge, with all meals and twice-daily game drives.

No alarm. No agenda. Just a neighbour who drops by for breakfast.

At Moditlo, the mornings are slow and the company is tall.

Guess who’s in the tracker’s seat. 👀

Out here, the tracker sees everything first: every footprint, every broken branch, every set of tyre tracks where tyre tracks shouldn’t be.

On the set of Invisible, this seat belonged to someone you’ll get to know very well. Boots, jeans and not a word to anyone. That’s all we’re giving you. 🤫

Who do you think it is? Tell us in the comments. 👇

Many cultures. One bush. One family. 🇿🇦

Today, the team came to work dressed as home. Seshoeshoe and beadwork, feathers and headwraps: every outfit a story of where we come from, worn with the same warmth our guests meet on every game drive and at every table.

Moditlo is personal because of the people in these photos. Swipe to meet a few of them.

Happy Heritage Day, from all of us.

What happened at the waterhole? 🌾

The reeds along our river are thick enough to hide almost anything. That’s why Invisible came to film here, on Moditlo land in the Hoedspruit bushveld.

We’re not giving anything away, but it’s not as calm as it looks. 👀

Tell us your theory in the comments. 👇
And a question for Deon Meyer fans: have you read Blood Safari, the book Invisible is based on? If you have, keep the ending to yourself. 🤫
