Exhilarating Game Drives Photographers Dream Wellness Treatments Pool & Cocktail Lapa

Moditlo River Lodge offers game drives in the early morning and late afternoon when the game is most active. Game drives are conducted by experienced nature guides in open 4X4 game-viewing vehicles. Morning game drives include complementary coffee and tea; afternoon drives include sundowners and snacks.

Moditlo is a photographer's dream. Capture incredible images during our daily game drives or simply take a stroll around the grounds at the Main Lodge where you'll often find shy little antelope other plains game rooting in the underbrush.

Enquire at reception about the range of beauty and wellness treatments that we can make available on request. Sit back, relax and drink in the sounds of the African bush as you enjoy a pampering at the hands of the very best wellness therapists.

Saunter down to the pool and get comfortable on one of the sun loungers, read a book or cool down in the crystal-clear water. Alternatively, make your way to our cocktail lapa to enjoy a refreshing drink in the company of your fellow lodge guests.
