Guest Reviews
- Pascal (10/5): Parfait -
- Kim (10/5): Incredible time, from a very experienced safari trekker - I've done over 20 different safaris throughout Africa and Modlito exceeded every expectation I had. The food is absolutely fantastic, with some of the best tasting African and international dishes I've ever tasted. Ostrich meat was superbly prepared. I booked this lodge as a last-minute, short stay while enroute to Cape Town. It was super helpful to be picked up at East Gate airport in Hoedspruit (included in the price). The lodge itself has some facilities I didn't have time to utilize, like a fitness building, pool, lobby with books, etc. The location, being close to Hoedspruit, puts it closer to the R40 road and a train line (sometimes audible) but that's also what makes the lodge super accessible. While there I saw the big 4 (you don't go to the Leopard, the Leopard comes to you, always as a surprise). Saw some of my faves, like cheetah and a fluffy bushbaby. Note that the location did not stop the animal activity, it's just something to be aware of; this isn't the most secluded lodge, but then again, you have quick airport access and it isn't priced like the more remote lodge concessions that really drain the wallet. The staff was incredibly informative and answered a lot of my questions about flora and fauna. I would definitely recommend Modlito. As a matter of fact, I am trying to put together another visit in the near future. Nothing.
- Melissa (10/5): Lovely lodge and staff. - It is a lovely lodge. Staff are beautiful and friendly
- Rio (8/5): -
- James (10/5): A fantastic place to stay for safari - A wonderful place to stay for safari, very clean and tidy, and the staff were very attentive. The game drivers and trackers were the best. Thank you The food could be improved slightly for a full 5*s, and some more variation for the gluten-free meals
- Felipe (10/5): -
- Payonne (9/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): Melhor experiência que já tive - A melhor expreriência que já tive em um hotel em toda a vida. Passar os dias no Moditlo foi uma realização em todos sentidos: gastronomia excelente, passeios de safari muito bem conduzidos, staff extremamente simpático, estrutura impecável. Vamos voltar com toda a certeza! Tudo perfeito.
- Norman (8/5): -
- Cobi (10/5): Altijs fijn om er weer terug te gaan !! - De sfeer Niets
- Lorena (9/5): - Hotel bem confortável e luxuoso com academia Alimentação do all inclusive com pouca variedade
- Paola Cortes (9/5): - Ubicacion, personal Que los guias hablan entre ellos en su idioma y no se entiende nada
- Thiago (10/5): -
- Petro (10/5): Excellent stay during the crisis time of flooding. Couldn't have felt more treated and safe! - All the meals were tasteful and plenty for all with good variation. Location was excellent with good views of nature and the river. Despite abnormal high rainfall, the staff was committed to take us on safari. When we needed to be evacuated due to flooding, the staff was friendly, quick and calm, making the experience an adventure and not a stress. Over and above making sure we were safe, they helped with transport. Walking the extra mile up to the end! THANK YOU!
- Jasmine (10/5): Incredible relaxing safari stay! - This is a beautiful lodge with fantastic rooms, delicious meals, and animals roaming. The safari was incredible and we saw the big 5 and so many more animals (hyenas, zebras, giraffes). The sunset drinks were a great touch and our tracker and spotter made a real effort to make those special. Staff were all lovely and really welcoming. They made an effort to get to know guests and service was excellent. The food was the highlight, the breakfast/lunch and dinners changed each day and we were looking forward to every meal!
- simon (10/5): Amazing - Amazing staff,especially the trackers/guides,food superb,accommodation excellent.. we loved every minute of our stay .. recommended 5stars
- Elena (10/5): -
- Christoph (10/5): Der Hammer!! Danke :-) - Der Transfer vom/zum Flughafen, das leckere (vegetarische) Essen, das extrem freundliche Personal, die super Game Drives und die Begleitungen zum/vom Zimmer in der Nacht. Einfcach Woaw!
Dumy +(Derrick/Forgive) waren fantastisch auf den Game Drives. Herzlichen Dank!!
Wir würden sofort wieder in die Modtlo River Lodge gehen. Brasilianische Gruppe, die sich aufführte, als wären sie alleine. Andauernd laut und am Alkohol trinken. Sehr unanständig mit dem Personal. Die Lodge könnte versuchen in Zukunft auf Ausgeglichenheit zu achten und solche Störenfriede zurecht zu weisen bzw. abzuweisen.
- BEATRIZ (7/5): - O espaço e os funcionários são muito bons Não existe um cardápio flexível, as comidas são bem diferentes e você não pode escolher.
- Gabriele (10/5): -
- Marian (7/5): -
- Beulah (10/5): Phenomenal. - The rooms are beautiful. The game drives are phenomenal. The guides were incredible. All of the staff are incredibly hospitable and friendly. Would stay longer than two nights.
- Tanya (10/5): Exceptional safari
lodge - Loved the location safe and clean with excellent staff that made the whole experience memorable I loved it all.
- GAELLE (10/5): -
- Jaco (10/5): -
- Sidinei Alex (10/5): We felt welcomed - The stay overall was spectacular. The room cleanliness was fabulous — every time we returned from the game drive, the room was tidy and clean. Very comfortable and quiet; the bed and the shower made the stay even more pleasant.
The food and the service were excellent, and we were lucky to participate in and experience a braai dinner.
The highlight of the stay was the game drives, with a very attentive and dedicated guide — it was the best experience.
- Lars (10/5): Geweldig - De accommodatie is van alle gemakken voorzien heerlijke kamers. Super lief personeel en heerlijk eten. De safari’s waren ook echt geweldig. Wij hebben er intens genoten en zeker voor herhaling vatbaar. Alles was werkelijk waar perfect
- Isabelle (10/5): Incrível - Experiência incrível. Comida boa ( poucas opções), os drives fazem de tudo para achar os Big five. O quarto é super gostoso. E todos são super educados. Podia melhorar a academia
- Jose (10/5): Dream safari - I am not get in use to review hotels even been a traveler more than 25 years experience with booking been genius traveler with them, but in this occasion it deserve to thanks the amazing experience my wife and me had in this unique place In the world , if you are looking for a first experience in a safari here it is.
For our honeymoon I expend more than 4 months searching the most convenient place for our safari and to get it right in this way means happiness , even though its the rainy season , we’ve been able to see the big 5 and even more , the amazing experience to has to be escorted out of the room at night by a guard to go dinner and see a leopard 500 meters away of your room the same night , the amazing staff always smiling , the variety and quality of food , the room is fantastic with a comfortable and huge bed , I am sure there should be more luxurious lodges but the prices are crazy and is important to understand that you can’t walk to much due to the wild life , relation quality price top top no doubts . Everything perfect
- Guilherme (10/5): Voltaria muitas vezes - Excelente Safari, guias ótimos ( em especial Siddon e Chris), funcionários do hotel muito receptivos.
- Amina (10/5): Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt - Eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung!
Es war wie ein Besuch bei Freunden.
Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und toll eingerichtet. Die Mitarbeiter sind unfassbar herzlich. Alle haben immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen und erfüllen alle Wünsche. Besonders Junce haben wir bereits nach unserer Ankunft in unser Herz geschlossen.
Slon und Mdu haben unsere Game Drives zu unvergesslichen Erlebnissen gemacht.
In diesem Reserve ist alles perfekt. Es hat uns Tränen in die Augen getrieben, als wir Moditlo verlassen mussten.
Vielen Dank für alles! Wir kommen wieder! Es ist alles perfekt. Zögere nicht und buch es!
- PatOgrodnik (10/5): - A little piece of heaven.
Everything was perfect. The team goes out of their way to ensure thay you are comfortable.
The safaris are incredible, and the rangers do their best to make it an unforgettable experience.
They were able to cater for my specific dietary requirements. There is always a selection of scrumptious food available. Having to leave...
- Bessa (10/5): -
- Jamie (10/5): Amazing place! Amazing staff! Amazing experience! - Great setting, deluxe lodges, nice layout, very clean
- German Nicolas (10/5): No se lo pierdan! - Todo está excelente
- German Nicolas (10/5): Una experiencia inolvidable - El lodge, en general, es muy hermoso
- Berenice (9/5): -
- ANNALISA (10/5): -
- Luke (8/5): Excellent Safari Trip - Great private reserve and excellent safari Would be nice if they had rooms more appropriate for friends travelling together. The bath was in the middle of the room and the shower wasn’t very private
- Giuditta (8/5): -
- Leonardo (10/5): Maravilhosa e inesquecível! Pretendemos voltar mais vezes - The place was amazing! Cozy room, tasty food and great staff! The safari is an unbelievable experience. Shoutout to Derick and Dumi that made it even more special! We’ll be back for sure
- Bin (10/5): - Good service, nice stuff, and excellent field guide It’s not easy to see animals. You need to spent time looking for them.
- Ana Luiza (8/5): Safáris incríveis mas decepcionadas com a extorsão em gorjeta - A localização é muito boa, os funcionários são simpáticos até saberem se receberão gorjeta, os guias de campo e os rastreadores são excelentes, buscam com muito empenho os animais e são super agradáveis durante o Game Drive. O Moditlo não é um hotel 5 estrelas! As acomodações não são para esse padrão, nem as comidas (não que sejam ruins, mas não é aquilo que promete). A toalha não é de boa qualidade (custa a secar o corpo) e a água quente acaba durante o dia (viemos no inverno, tomei banho frio uma noite). Os safáris foram incríveis mas tenho que destacar que para mim o que mais me impactou negativamente foi a chegada ao hotel em que você é recebido com uma caixinha com 4 envelopes dentro para gorjeta ao final da estadia. Não só um, 4! O hotel já é caríssimo e ainda nos entregam como item de “boas vindas” envelopes com sugestão de gorjetas que em duas diárias chegam a quase 1000 reais. Eles colocam como opcional, principalmente porque isso é cultural na África do Sul porém se você escolhe não pagar ou pagar abaixo daquilo que algum funcionário esperava, eles começam a te tratar rispidamente. Achei isso uma forma de coerção e muito deselegante! Saibam que percebemos quando seus funcionários mudam de atitude e isso é extremamente desagradável. Sinceramente um hotel desse padrão e tão caro, só funciona com base em gorjeta? Tudo que já pagamos não é suficiente para garantir educação e um bom serviço em todos os momentos? Revejam isso. Deixarei de indicar o hotel a amigos ou parentes devido essa questão. Saí extremamente incomodada mesmo tendo uma experiência boa com os safáris.
- Mouza (9/5): -
- Daniele (10/5): Perfeita! - Amamos tudo! Além de o hotel ser lindo e confortável, os funcionários são muito simpáticos, os game drives são excelentes e você se sente até mimado com todos os cuidados! Com certeza recomendo!
- Patrícia (10/5): - A recepção das pessoas que trabalham no Moditlo River Lodge foi espetacular. Todos preocupados com o bem estar dos hóspedes e sempre com um sorriso contagiante.
Foram dias inesquecíveis!!!!!
Awesome memories!!!!
- Dayse (10/5): Nunca fui tão bem tratada na vida! - O melhor tratamento que já recebi na minha vida!
Em cada mínimo detalhe a preocupação com nosso bem estar e conforto! Genial! A comida excelente! Os guias incríveis! De manhã quando a temperatura estava muito baixa eles davam os ponchos e além disso uma bolsa quente garantindo um conforto pra temperatura! Me senti em casa não queria nem ir embora! Nada que eu disser vai conseguir expressar a emoção e o acolhimento que senti nesse lugar! Que energia sensacional! Tudo perfeito!
- JOÃO (10/5): Unforgettable staying!!! - Everything is perfect and the team who works there is amazing, unbelievable people!!! Nothing!
- Javier (10/5): -
- Lysann (10/5): Moderne trifft Natur - Kaum angekommen, erhielt ich die Möglichkeit, an meinem ersten Game Drive mitzufahren. Ein unvergesslicher Moment, worauf weitere folgten. Die Küche, sowie die Verpflegungen während der Game Drives bewegen sich auf Michelin Niveau und kann ich nur lobend hervorheben.
Das Personal war rund um die Uhr gewillt, einen guten Service für Ihre Gäste zu bieten. Die Zimmer erreicht man über einen Holzweg, den ich mir mit freundlichen Wegbegleitern, bsp. Vervet-Affen teilte. Mir hat alles zu 100% gefallen. Hier gibt es nichts zu erwähnen. Ich werde wiederkommen!
- Maponya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Faustino (10/5): Exceptional -
- Suzanne (9/5): We stayed at 4 different lodges on this trip & Midlito was by far the best. - We had a fabulous cabin - right on the end with no fencing & we could watch the animals walk past. No tourists coming & going past us. We had the most knowledgeable thoughtful informative guide (Sodin)& spotter (Chris)who always knew where the animals were going& could drive around to get a closer look at them arriving The food was disappointing & never hot - just lukewarm
- Jonas (10/5): Outstanding - Imagine a hotel where you genuinely feel at home. The staff are exceptionally attentive and warm, making every moment of your stay feel special. It was one of the rare places where, during checkout, we felt as though we were saying goodbye to dear friends before embarking on a long journey.
With only a few rooms, the service is remarkably personalized. The rooms are spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable — every detail thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
The chefs crafted exquisite meals with great care, thoughtfully accommodating dietary restrictions and ensuring each dish was a delight.
A special thank you to the outstanding team: chefs Steve and Cayla, Cristabel, and the affectionate Thuli — each one played a meaningful role in making our stay so memorable.
We’re also deeply grateful to Caswel, our skilled tracker, and Jika, our expert safari driver. Their dedication and passion gave us truly unforgettable encounters with the reserve’s incredible wildlife.
- Gillian (9/5): A great experience - everything was wonderful!! Nothing that I can think of
- Charles (10/5): Moditlo Lodge- worth every penny ( or Rand) - Everything was outstanding- facilities, accommodations, food, safari and most importantly the staff. They were hospitable, kind and true professionals- who wore perpetual smiles on their faces. There was nothing to dislike.
- Glen (10/5): Beautiful people and great care taken to ensure our stay was extra special. - The team of people working at Moditlo and the style of the accommodation were very special indeed. Our bush guide and tracker were great fun to be with and very knowledgeable. Nothing material that we can think of.
- Gugu (8/5): Great value for money, great game reserve experience - The location is great because it’s close to the airport, but it’s also close to the railway so you hear the goods train all the time. The rooms are very clean and spacious. We saw 4 of the bug 5. We met wonderful guests. Rico our guide and Mdu the tracker were amazing. Donald who accompanied us to our rooms when it was dark was also great, together with all the staff. We loved seeing the lioness with her cubs on our last day, thanks to Rico who would not give up on trying to find them. Seeing the herd of elephants was breath taking. The boma dinners were great (buffet style). I wish there was more variety of food (during the game drives and during lunch). The gym is very outdated and most of the equipment did not work. The train. The wifi was too slow.
- Rosa (9/5): Superb - The safari trips to see animals was really good and our guides did put in a lot of effort! Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Food was good but not what we expected from a 5-star rated reserve. There is a train line close to the reserve and really disturbing our peace when the train passed early morning and in the night hours... :-(
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - It was everything amazing, such great experience with the safaries and the lodge facilities, i want to go back every year it totall worth it! Totally recommend it
- Childers (10/5): Exciting, comfortable and full of good food. - Excellent everything from the setting to the staff was immaculate, shout to Rico and M’doo as well!
- Gideon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brendan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giovana (10/5): Best days at moditlo - We had the best days in moditlo, everything was perfect!
All the staff are super kind and helpful, they made us feels like home.
The food is amazing, all the dishes were espetacular and fresh. We loved the dinner in the boma, it was a very special night.
Our rangers rico and mdu are the best! They made everything for us to have the bests safaris ever and see the big 5!
They always asked wich animals we wanted to see and did what they could to find them, they always did it!
We are goingo to miss the days in moditlo, it was a beautiful experience! Everything was perfect
- Joao (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing experience! I'll happily recommend Moditlo to all my family and friends.. Great staff, accommodations, and food. Thank you and will come back soon.
- Gennaro (10/5): You will never regret this - We loved everything and any minute spent there.
Very much well located,staff was very friendly and knowledgeable,the room was incredibly clean and comfortable with a huge shower and bath so imagine the relax.
We had 4 incredible safari excursions with one of the best guy and tracker,honestly we couldn’t be happier about everything. They were so passionate about their job in 4 safari we saw all the big 5 animals and more.
Honestly team keep going like this and you will make an amazing holiday to everyone.
Grazie Unfortunately we booked just 2 nights but is our fault we would have like to stay few more days
- Tsakani (6/5): Pleasant - Lovely location and well setup Open breakfast and lunch setup needs to be covered up properly to prevent flies and food contamination. Spa room needs more attention in terms of cleanliness and professionalism from the staff.
- Nicolas (10/5): Awesome experience - The place is fantastic. Everything is clean, tidy and well designed. Everyone from the staff was super kind. They really make you feel welcome.
The reserve is quite large and it has plenty of animals. We saw elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, hippos, pangolins, cheetahs, warthogs and all sorts of antelopes. It was fantastic.
Special mention to Rico (guide) and Mdu (tracker). They were both extremely knowledgeable, kind, engaging and fun! They went the extra mile ensuring we saw everything we wanted to see. They made sure we always got a good view of the animals and that we were comfortable. They answered all our questions and kept us involved in the decision making of that to do next. 10/10. Just 2 minor things, not impacting the 10/10 score.
1) Some drinks were included some others weren't, but we didn't find out until checking out. The drinks during the drives were included the ones during meals were not. Just a surprise bill at the end. Prices were reasonable anyway, we were just not fully informed of how it worked and caught us by surprise.
2).There is a little gap between their internal rules (checkout at 11am) and what is posted on booking (checkout at 12am).
- Letícia (10/5): VERY Recommended - Everything! From the location inside the park, to the food, the game, the friendliest staff in the planet! Nothing.
- Benjamin (9/5): Lovely high class lodge with very friendly staff and super experienced trackers - Very nice and cosy lodge, high class, touching luxury, but not too posh, very friendly staff, super experienced guides and trackers! We had the game drive of our lives with them! Unfortunately one can hear the road from time to time, the dinner did not quite meet our expectations.
- Kellyton (9/5): Superb -
- Renee (7/5): Good - Awesome guides, the room was very nice and clean.
- Vicky (10/5): Amazing Game drives in a gorgeous park. - Love the location, the rooms were amazing, game drives were out of the world. Seeing so much in the short time that we were there. The staff was really amazing. I could not say anything bad about Moditlo! Want to go back!
- Alex (10/5): Everything was great! - All of the meals were delicious and fresh. The staff was amazing and helpful. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. Also, each safari provided us with great views of the animals. Everything was great I enjoyed my stay. I would definitely stay here again. My room was comfortable, and the food was delicious. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.
- Katrina (10/5): After a one week stay, we were sad to leave as we had such a wonderful stay. Don’t hesitate to book and definitely no n - Wonderful thoughtful staff and very talented chef. Nothing
- Alex (10/5): Moditlo was the perfect stay for our safari - All of the meals were delicious and fresh. The staff was amazing and helpful. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. Also, each safari provided us with great views of the animals. Nothing. Everything was good.
- Rajesh (10/5): Can’t wait to come back - Excellent Nothing.
- Luke (10/5): Staff were incredible. Game drives were incredible. Saw all the Big 5 and more multiple times. Highly recommended. - Property was beautiful with animals all around the villas, so you're immersed in nature surrounded by a lot of the animals you'll want to see at the actual lodge and you're not limited to seeing them just in the game drives, which is amazing. You have kudu, gnala, monkeys, giraffes and elephants all around. Incredible vibe and dynamic! Zero complaints.
- Moagi (10/5): My stay was 100% - Seeing lions Everything was exceptional
- Stanley (5/5): Passable - Close to a very busy road and railway! Definitely not worth the money for the service we received. On the game drives they forgot to pack enough classes for drinks. Rooms are not cleaned properly.
- Neil (10/5): Amazing experience - Game drives
Rooms were amazing
Staff were all lovely One of the dinner buffets wasn’t great
- Fabiola (10/5): Fabulous experience close to nature. - The lodge accommodation was excellent, allowing great contact with nature. The staff was very friendly and efficient and lodge facilities very well decorated and comfortable. The safari games were amazing, with a special thanks to the field guide Jika and tracker Caswell - who made all possible for us to see all the Big 5 and beyond. It was an awesome time in family that will be locked in our hearts forever. We strongly recommend Moditlo Lodge and ask for field guide Jika and tracker Caswell - they made a big difference in our safari games!!! N/A
- Viktor (10/5): Best Safari - We had a great time there and had amazing guides who went over and about to make the experience the best possible!
- Mauro (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was marvelous.
- Aung (8/5): Very good -
- Vitor (8/5): Very good - The organization, the structure, everything was really nice. It seems they did not have a leopard in the reserve :(
Even before the first game drive, they said it was difficult.
- Pontsho (10/5): Exceptional - The friendly staff and clean rooms
- Amal (10/5): Amazing experience -
- Davy (8/5): Very good - The game drives were exceptional, our driver Aurela and tracker Derreck were the best. It was almost as if you asked to see a specific animal, they went out, searched and found it. I had the impression there was no general management on premises which led to staff having little guidance. Although they did their best to make the guests feel at home.
- Gerdus (9/5): Incredible bush getatway with plenty of game, big and small - Incredible staff and attentiveness. Beautiful rooms. The food was amazing. Game drives were very good with knowledgeable guides and trackers in a beautiful reserve The lodge is close to a rail line so you can hear the trains go past often which takes away from the bush experience.
Unfortunately you are reliant on other farm owners to allow access to their property when going on game drives which can restrict the area you’re allowed to view, but game is still moving freely
- Casey (8/5): Very good -
- Siphelele (10/5): Great getaway experience - The staff was very helpful and the experience was great The security at the main estate entrance was very rude. Made us get off the car, walk to his office in the heat to fill in the entrance permit which took less than a minute to fill, this could literally have been done in the car. Upon his call to the lodge he says our names are not on the guest list. He almost ruined this beautiful experience.
- Leanie (5/5): Passable -
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
- George (10/5): Fond memories of our Moditlo experience will be with us forever. - Our stay at Moditlo far surpassed our expectations in all aspects of the experience. Beautiful and tranquil luxury lodge with a friendly vibe from attentive, courteous and accommodating staff. 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. Game drives were expertly guided by Jika and his tracker, Caswell. We saw the Big 5 within the first 2 drives! Enjoyed lounging, relaxing and cooling off by the spacious pool between drives. Not a single complaint about our stay at Moditlo.
- Karin (9/5): Superb - The staff are great. Facilities and rooms are excellent. Very comfortable. There were little things, but not really worth the mention.
- Craig (10/5): Exceptional in every way..... - The Lodge was beautiful and all of the staff were exceptional and made the whole experience a once in a lifetime safari.
- Dirk (7/5): Good -
- Daniel (10/5): Unreal - Unbelievable experience, food, staff, game drives also absolutely excellent Nothing
- The (10/5): Exceptional -
