Molori Safari Lodge
Molori
Safari is situated deep within the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa’s North
West Province, bordering Botswana. The secluded lodge offers absolute privacy,
while taking in breathtaking views of the Dwarsberg Mountains and the expansive
Madikwe valley. At 75 000 hectares, Madikwe Game Reserve is South Africa’s
fifth largest Big Five game reserve, but offers so much more than the Big Five.
Madikwe is home to the Super Seven, which includes all Big Five species as well
as cheetah and wild dog. There are an estimated 400 wild dogs still surviving
in South Africa and a large concentration of these are thriving in the Madikwe
habitat. The reserve is also home to some 350 recorded bird species...
CONSERVATION
Madikwe
Game Reserve is home to the endangered African Wild Dog and has the highest
concentration of rhino in Africa. Conservation is an active and important part
of life here. Molori Safari works closely with Madikwe Game Reserve in its
rhino conservation efforts and guests can by arrangement be part of an
extraordinary hands-on rhino tagging experience, participating in the notching,
DNA sampling and micro chipping of the rhino’s horns. Guests can also
participate in dog tracking experiences and learn more about this extraordinary
and highly endangered species...

Safari comprises five unique open-air suites, thoughtfully distanced from one
another to offer absolute privacy. They include: two premier suites (Ngwedi and
Lesedi), one family premier suite (Sephiri) and two presidential suites (Metsi
