Moditlo River Lodge is centrally located in the Blue Canyon Conservancy, featuring an impressive variety of flora and fauna.

Moditlo River Lodge Setting

Situated at the base of the renowned Drakensberg mountain range of South Africa, Moditlo Private Game Reserve is situated within the Blue Canyon Conservancy, adjacent to the Greater Kruger National Park. Widely acclaimed as a sought-after retreat, Moditlo River Lodge is the quintessential bush getaway and stands as one of South Africa's premier wildlife destinations. Encompassing approximately 16,500 hectares of unspoiled African bush, the reserve is a habitat for some of Africa's most coveted wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, cheetahs, hippos, and an array of bird species typical to the Lowveld.

Notably, Moditlo is home to a pack of wild dogs, the second-rarest carnivore species in Africa, with an estimated 2000 remaining globally. The Blue Canyon Conservancy offers exceptional biodiversity, featuring two primary eco-zones: the Northern thornveld and Southern bush-willow woodlands. The reserve's landscape encompasses numerous lakes, perennial streams, dams, abundant large trees along the river beds, panoramic views of the Drakensberg mountains, and a rich variety of wildlife. This, combined with unparalleled natural beauty, establishes Moditlo Game Reserve as an unforgettable safari destination.

Excellent food in Boma fireside setting as well as outdoor dining area. Lovely, ultra-comfortable accommodation with frequent visits from gentle nyala rummaging in the grass and entertaining monkeys.
