It is rare that I am at a loss for words, but there is little I can say about Molori that would do the experience justice. Instead I'll take a reductionist approach—a definitive statement to drive home the point. Molori is without doubt the most luxurious safari lodge in Africa.
I could wax poetic about the extraordinary management team, the guiding, the food and the lodge design, but I'd inevitably trip over my superlatives, slather on the fromage and bumble like a boy with a crush. Better you take a peek at the video below, touring one of the rooms, and imagine that everything (and I mean everything) at Molori is this staggeringly, overwhelmingly good.
Molori ("to dream" in the local Tswana tongue) was originally built as a private home in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve, with just five rooms and a staff of 44. No company could ever achieve this level of perfection—Molori is not a product, and in terms of detail I've never met its match. Think of it as a private bush retreat rather than a safari lodge—the ultimate place to relax and be inspired.
Despite our general hatred of Greg Sacks and all the luxury he's had the fortune to experience, he's a nice fellow, and rather wonderful at planning safari trips. Find out what he can do (and what we can do), and don't forget to be our friend on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
