wildlife vet and conservation officers. Molori also offers one-day
and overnight experiences at the K9 facility at its sister conservation
lodge in the Magaliesberg, Moledi Gorge, which specialises in anti-
poaching programmes across the continent.
4. Star gazing
Molori offers a private astronomy experience to all guests, including
children, through the technologically advanced Meade telescope. Set
on a giant tripod on a hill behind the lodge, the telescope enables
stars, comets, planets and galaxies to take on new meaning as the
entire family gets the chance to view the moon’s craters up close
or discover that Saturn’s rings are clearly visible at over 1.2 billion
kilometres away.
A boma evening or bush dinner under the inky blackness of a star-
strewn sky will never be the same again…
5. Personalised service
There is nothing staff at Molori like more than to surprise their
discerning travellers with a personalised stay and genuinely caring,
off-the-charts service. As one guest noted: “We travel a great deal
and have been blessed to stay at some spectacular resorts across the
globe, but Molori astounded us in every way. Literally every member
of staff embodies an authentic spirit of gregarious hospitality and an
unrelenting commitment to service of the highest order.”
6. Seamless air access
Private charters with Federal Air dovetail perfectly with international
flight arrival times and fly in twice daily from Johannesburg to the
Madikwe airstrip, a 10-minute game drive from the lodge.
7. Absolute privacy
Of particular interest to celebrity families (and honeymooners) is the
2
privacy afforded by the luxurious Presidential Suites, Metsi (593m )
and Molelo (619m ). Set apart from the rest of the lodge, each has
2
its own private game vehicle, and may be booked with a personal
butler and chef. The two bedrooms are thoughtfully located at either
end of each suite, giving parents and children space. Both suites have
a study and library area for working parents who need to keep in
touch, and an additional bed for an au pair can be arranged.
