Luxurious weekends in the wilderness

There is no better time than the present to experience South Africa. With the strength of the pound sterling fluctuating against other currencies, now is the time to hop over to South Africa for an ultra luxurious weekend in the wilderness.

Located in the 75,000-hectare malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve and only a 50-minute flight from Johannesburg, Molori Safari Lodge accommodates up 10-14 guests. For three nights, guests will experience the best of South Africa with breathtaking accommodation, spectacular scenery and outstanding game viewing.

A traditional Boma dinner will give guests the chance to taste the delicious local cuisine, cooked under the stars and accompanied by some of the finest wines in the region. A bespoke cooking class created personally for each individual guest will teach the secrets of native culinary dishes, using the freshest local ingredients sourced daily.

To complete the South African experience, guests will be pampered from head to toe with a 2.5 hour ritual at the heavenly outdoor spa. Using indigenous products a Full Body Scrub will be followed by an African Body Wrap, the Molori Spa Hair and Scalp Therapy and completed with a relaxing Hot Stone Back Massage, leaving guests cocooned in absolute bliss.

Among the Lodge’s five free-standing suites, each with its own private infinity pool, wooden decks, indoor and outdoor showers, and fully retractable, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, are two breathtaking Presidential Suites – Metsi and Molelo. Metsi Suite sleeps two guests (indoor/outdoor area measures 593 sqm) and the Molelo Suite, which has two bedrooms, sleeps four guests (indoor/outdoor area measures 619 sqm).

The eclectic interior design was created by owner Kirk Lazarus, who has crafted the space to fuse neutral tones with touches of vibrant colour. Custom-made furniture has been combined with contemporary pieces by designers such as Fendi, Boffi, and Philipp Plein among others, providing the ultimate hideaway for discerning guests.

A long weekend at Molori Safari Lodge costs from £3,400 per person based on three nights in a double suite (fully inclusive accommodation) and return international flights in economy class with BA, return scheduled light aircraft transfers from Johannesburg to Molori, plus a boma dinner, a bespoke cooking class and a 2.5hr traditional South African spa experience at the lodge.
