Overseas Living
In the valley of the Olifants, at the beginning of the African Ivory Trail, lies Moditlo Eco Lodge
Imagine a land where one is able to live in coexistence with unreserved beauty, enriched by natural wildlife and majestic mountains. Here, in the heart of the Greater Kruger National Park region of the "Rainbow Nation", that is South Africa; the beautiful wildlife can find refuge and peace, whilst being admired by nature lovers worldwide.Natural sanctuary
Mo Di' Tlo, African for "here, where the elephants are", is owned by nature lovers and conservationists who believe that low density development should take place in harmony, side by side, to conserve nature. Moditlo Eco Lodge supports and facilitates conservation and brings enhancement to the local environment and wildlife, helping people to appreciate and cherish a sample of Africa's true heritage in a sustainable way. With the local community benefiting greatly from global eco tourism, Moditlo is a legacy to be proud of and engage in, enhancing the future development of the local residents and their neighbours.
Reflecting a formidable wealth of wildlife and natural history, Moditlo offers you the rare opportunity to dwell in luxurious standards of comfort balanced with the sounds and smells of a thriving environment - true Africa. Safeguarding this monumental and fascinating landscape compels one to feel great pride and fulfilment in helping broaden its future tranquil place in society. The embracing Drakensburg Mountains cast grandiose shadows over the great stretches of this beautiful Estate. Moditlo enriches all forms of biodiversity creating drama and beauty throughout the vast rich expanses of land that can rival any wilderness in the world. This is the landscape that inspired The Lord of the Rings, being the original home of the saga's author, J.R.R. Tolkien.
Animal activities
Situated behind the 'Mountains of the Dragon' on Moditlo's doorstep, lies one of the largest green canyons in the world. The Blyde River Canyon ranks as one of the most spectacular sights in Africa. This great escarpment brings invigorating fresh mountain scenery and magnificent panoramic views over cliffs rising 600m-800m from the river bed. The entire canyon extends over twenty kilometres in length.
Unlike most other private game reserves, the animals here choose to make this their home. Experience and participate in the various game drives, nature walks and bird watching activities. A range of adventure activities on your doorstep include rock climbing, hiking, white water rafting, horse and elephant back safaris, hot air ballooning, golf and various cultural experiences. The acclaimed Kruger National Park is only a short drive away.
You may just wish to relax and unwind whilst absorbing the breathtaking scenery and superb climate South Africa offers all year round. Moditlo Eco Lodge offers you the opportunity to purchase a share of freehold ownership of a combination of 37 prestigious two and four-bedroom properties along with 40 stylish Lodge suites, all set in spectacular landscaped gardens.
"Ultimately conservation is about people. If you don't have sustainable development around these parks, then the people will have no interest in them, and the parks will not survive." - Nelson Mandela
