How do we rate a property?

We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.

From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

Molori Safari Lodge

Why travel with kiwi collection, about this hotel.

For those who like African wildlife with their luxury accommodations, or vice versa, the all-inclusive Molori Safari Lodge offers both in abundance. Lions, hot tubs, and infinity pools, oh my!

There aren't many places in the world where you can eat a gourmet dinner on an outdoor deck while a herd of elephants visits a waterhole a few yards below. At Molori Safari Lodge in South Africa, you'll experience the trappings of a luxury hotel, while getting up close and personal with Africa's most spectacular animals. Of course, you don't have to do all your wildlife viewing from the tub. There are two game drives every day in a custom 4x4. Your guide will help you spot lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, and some more of those elephants. If you're feeling adventurous, and aren't packing any steaks in your pocket, you can even explore the Madikwe Game Reserve on a guided walking tour. The lodge has just five suites, and they're all separated from the others to ensure ample privacy. Each has a private infinity pool, outdoor shower, TV, and DVD player, and a huge outdoor deck perfect for an afternoon nap. You can even have a romantic gourmet dinner for two served on your patio.
