Moditlo Private Game Reserve is nestled close to the Greater Kruger National Park and is home to an abundance of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life. Home to exceptional African game species, safari-goers will enjoy a memorable stay here. Wildlife species include lions, African elephants, rhinos, hippos, and members of the Big Cats—leopards and cheetahs.
Furthermore, there is a pack of African wild dogs that calls the reserve home. Over 400 species of bird have been recorded at Moditlo, so birding enthusiasts can expect an incredible experience, spotting the likes of the martial eagle, southern ground hornbill, the giant eagle owl, the spotted eagle owl, and the fiery-necked nightjar.
As a general rule of thumb in South Africa, the dry season provides the ultimate wildlife viewing opportunities. The dry season occurs in the winter months from May to September and is when the vegetation in the area thins out, and wildlife seeks out water sources. Summer months bring around the wet season and are the ideal months for bird watching, so avid birders should come prepared for a spectacular show.
