Molori Retreats, South Africa

Escape from reality, and travel to Molori Lodge – a property in South Africa. The Lodge is a stunning private home that has recently been opened to guests and has already been visited by Kate Moss and Mischa Barton who both loved it!

Molori (which means `dreamer` in Setswana) Private Retreats currently includes Molori Lodge in South Africa`s Madikwe Game Reserve, Molori Mirage in Port Douglas Australia, Molori Sydney and Molori Clifton in Cape Town which is opening in 2010. The properties` interiors blend local elements with well-placed international design and each are unique to their respective areas. They all share the common theme of sophistication and exceptional service though and provide privacy and a totally bespoke experience.

The Lodge in South Africa is absolutely beautiful, offering amazing, breathtaking scenery and a peaceful tranquil environment. Owned by 2 friends, who are both from Johannesburg and are ex-oil tycoons, Molori Lodge is created by their many years experience of travelling the world.

There are many amazing elements to a stay at the Molori Lodge which include Safaris and game viewing with the Lodge`s very own private guides who safely escort guests through the reserve both during the day and night. An unforgettable adventure as you may set your eyes upon lions, elephants, and black and white rhino and buffalo. Guests can also visit Molori`s planetarium equipped with a fully automatic, digital telescope to explore the cosmos and the Southern Hemisphere`s remarkable and fascinating night sky.

Molori Lodge can accommodate up to 10-14 guests and has 3 over-sized premium suites and 2 presidential suites. Indoor and outdoor showers are available as well as private temperature controlled pools and a private helicopter and helipad. My idea of perfect luxury! The helicopter is part of `Molori Air` which also consists of VIP jets and are able to fly you across the globe! The six company-owned aircrafts include an Executive Boeing 727-200, 2 Gulfstream GII, a Socata TBM 700, a Learjet 25C, a Hawker 700 and a Bell 222 Helicopter. Yacht charter options will also be available in the near future.

Molori`s cuisine is under the direction of gourmet chefs and uses only the freshest, seasonal produce of Africa. The Head Chef, Willie Malherbe, can offer a completely bespoke menu and every meal is discussed with guests prior to preparation. A great idea if you are very particular about what you eat. The finest South African wines and top-shelf liquors accompany all meals, so you can toast to an amazingly divine and exquisite stay at Molori Lodge!
