Located along the Nbesi River in the heart of the Blue Canyon Conservancy, Moditlo River Lodge features a rustic lodge with an outdoor swimming pool, boma bonfire and restaurant.

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.

Set within Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, Lindiwe Safari Lodge offers air-conditioned and modern accommodations with free WiFi. The lodge has a terrace with outdoor pool.

This lodge is AMAZING! The owner, the staff, the animals!! Room is great, bed is comfortable, food was delicious!! Staying there is honestly better than going out on a safari. They have a resident porcupine who visits nightly, a squirrel that you can hold, giraffe, monkeys, we didn’t see the leopard but apparently it’s there.

Located 12 miles from Drakensig Golf Club, Little Africa Safari Lodge offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodations with a patio and free WiFi.

This resort is absolutely fantastic, it was way beyond what I expected and we loved it. Leandra and her team met all our expectations. Our meals were delicious and very South African - which we loved. It's amazing to eat traditional meals from the country. Our tents were perfect, clean, and beautiful. Game Drives were unbelievable.

Offering a 20-yard pool, Unembeza Boutique Lodge is located in Hoedspruit. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

The staff, the food, and the service was excellent. However, the WiFi wasn’t working in my room. I had to walk 15 minutes to the lobby to get my internet working. That was very inconvenient. Otherwise this little boutique is very special and unique.

Located in Karongwe Game Reserve, Karongwe River Lodge features accommodations with free WiFi, air conditioning, and access to a garden with an outdoor swimming pool.

The reserve has over 10,000 acres with at least five different lodges on the reserve. Staff very attentive and helpful. We received a welcome drink upon arrival. We got to see the big five over the course of our daily safaris. Our guide Stefan and tracker Alfred were great. Each safari we always saw lots of animals. The food was delicious and we received a welcome back drink after the afternoon drive. I should mention that we stayed at the Becks safari lodge and not at karongwe river lodge. Nice little gift shop on the premises.

    The hosts were super nice and very accommodating. The safari that we booked through the Lodge was amazing - highly recommend doing that! The guide was super informative and took his time showing us the behavior of the animals. We did not just take photos like in a zoo but e.g. got to see a lion chase and watched the animals for like an hour. The breakfast exceeded our expectations since we got even more food than we ordered, it was all delicious and we got to enjoy it on the Terrasse next to wild animals. Highly recommend staying here!

    Everything about the property and the location is tops. The fact that it is in the wildlife estate even when you are not necessarily looking out for animals you at times just see them. Last night we saw about 5 zebras as we were heading back to the Lodge. The Safari Moon Team are exceptional. Right from before your arrival you are guided on activities and the gate code etc. Also at the property you are actually pampered.

    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!!!

    The best lodge I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Modern style building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in, the ambience and the general mood in the lodge is just so relaxing. High quality rooms and not forgetting the outside shower to get maximum experience of being in the safari, high quality service and delicious breakfast. Also, they are one of few lodges that offer you the best views in the area while enjoying either your meal or having sundowners by the balcony.
