Fabulous time. Good was great. The game drives were fantastic. We had a great, peaceful stay. Only thing we didn't see was the elusive leopard so we'll have to come back! Also so close to hoedspruit airport.

Everything about Little Safari Lodge was perfect. We were looking for a chilled experience and were so happy with our stay. The game rides were exceptional. Robert and Mateo went above and beyond to ensure we had a very personal up close experience. They were just exceptional. The lodge was fantastic. The food was absolutely restaurant quality in taste and presentation. We had to cancel lunch one day as we were so full from breakfast. We saw all the big five and so many more animals in their natural habitat. Just stunning. We will be returning. Thanks for the best stay.

Could use more lighting in bathrooms. Felt slightly rushed at times from post safari to dinner to bed. But still loved our 3 day stay!

Staff, service, food, atmosphere was so unique and comfortable with a special upscale feel.. Thomas and Mateo our safari guides were great getting us around to see lots of game life. Lions and cheetahs were our favorites. Loved the hot towels on arrival and after safaris. The menu was varied and the food was excellent. Would recommend.

All was perfect! The staff was very friendly, we thank Leandra and Danel for their help, Mateo and Robert for the beautiful game drives. The food was delicious, fresh and very abundant, the room/tent was just fabulous: clean, comfy and big. We heard hyenas and lions in the night, adding to the magical atmosphere. The pool was also amazing and one day we spotted three giraffes passing by. What an experience. We did 2 game drives per day and the spottings of animals were just great, all the big 5 plus many many more

This resort is absolutely fantastic, it was way beyond what I expected and we loved it. Leandra and her team met all our expectations. Our meals were delicious and very South African - which we loved. It's amazing to eat traditional meals from the country. Our tents were perfect, clean, and beautiful. Game Drives were unbelievable.

Leandra & her staff were AMAZING! We stayed 8 nights for our honeymoon & she did a tremendous job along w/her son & her staff of 20 yrs. (Munya & Joyce). Mateo, Level 3 tracker, & Robert were fabulous & we were able to see the BIG 5. We saw the big 4 in 2 days but saw the elusive leopard on our last day. The food, service, BBQ, were some of the best food we had tasted as her chef served ip sumptuous meals & the tent was luxe for sure! We looked @ Kapama first but they were super-pricey & crowded. We were able to get customized service & get to know the staff. We did day trips: Panaroma Route to see the 3rd largest canyon in the world & Jabulani, the orphan elephant sanctuary which were highlights!

Absolutely loved our time at Little Africa and would have stayed much longer if we could have! The small size of the lodge meant the setting felt very intimate and personalised, and we found each of the staff members a pleasure to deal with. The drivers and tracker for the game drives were engaging and get you amazingly close to the wildlife- we were able to see all of the big 5 within the first 3 drives. The food also deserves a special mention- was home prepared according to personal preference and was delicious!

Moditlo sometimes feels more like a wildlife safari park rather than truly wild (which isn’t necessarily bad)- but you do run into the fence on drives, the buffalo are all in a separate fenced area. However you do get to see more animals that you likely would in a different area and will most likely see the big 5

Close to airport, great staff, great food. Fun location could see animals from the lodge. Was great value. Saw a lot of animals on every game drive. :)

Our group is mostly vegetarian and we also had 2 children in our group (aged 5 and 8). The meal options are limited and may not cater to international tastes and preferences. An area of improvement can be having a kiddie friendly menu, although we did receive custom made veggie meals. Also having a small play area for kids aged 10 and below keeps them fairly engaged and carving out a small place with a small tree house / jungle gym with swings/ slides can be very helpful for young families. Game drive guides (of Little Africa) can be better compared to guides from other lodges in the area.

Little Africa is a lovely lodge which is efficiently run by Leandra. Little Africa is perfect for experienced travellers, older travellers. Super comfortable tents with an unparalleled environment. Had my best sleep ever! My father had his 72nd birthday and the chef baked a special chocolate cake for the ocassion. The entire staff brought it out ceremoniously and made the ocassion very special.

There could be some music on during meals. Ideally dinner would be ready when you get back from an evening game drive without the push to sit by the boma and order a cocktail.

We stayed at the Little Africa Safari Lodge as part of a 10 day exploration of Kruger and the greater Kruger area. This place stood out in that being a boutique size meant that we received great service in a relaxed setting. We saw all of the top five and often at very close proximity. We also saw two bonus cheetahs. At night you could hear lions roaring near by during the full moon. The food was delicious and plentiful. The pool was refreshing on a hot day. The bed was very, very comfortable and the glamping tent has all that you need. Would stay again and recommend to others.

We had a great stay at the lodge. All the team was very nice and making you feel like at home. The tents are well equipped and very confortable. The safari are amazing, we saw the big 5!

Could you add a game room for the time we spent at the hotel, although the pool and the bar were quite nice as well. Is using a drone during the game drive a viable option for searching for animals with technology?

Impeccable service; very good food; comfortable bed; cleanliness always top-notch (clean and tidy rooms); all staff very kind, polite, and well-prepared; the safari (game drive) was spectacular (we saw all the big five). The experience was incredible and will be forever cherished.

food was excellent, property was great, tents were nice, game drives were absolutely fantastic in a large private animal reserve. Thanks to our fantastic and knowledgeable tracker and guides Mateo and Never and our tough topless safari car we were able to get incredibly close to all animals including the big five by driving on small dirt roads at all times. No need for telephoto lenses - we just used our iPhones and only used our binoculars a couple of times.

Our stay at Little Africa was just perfect: Leandra the host was very welcoming and we could feel at home right from the beginning. The whole experience provided by the Little Africa Team could not have been better: - Food and service were excellent during our whole stay - Sleeping in a tented camp made us even more connect with the surroundings as you could here animals nereby during the night - The game drives provided were perfect. Our two guides Mateo and Never are very experienced in tracing the animals but also have a lot of knowledge about the flora and founa. We did overall 8 game drives together with them and the covered all the big five and listened to our requests. For example I asked if hippos live in the reserve and the coffe spot at the next morning was at a pond with hippos :) - The Moditlo private game reserve felt like the perfect mix of having enough animals around but also giving them enough space. Overall I would fully recommend a stay at Little Africa and if I get the chance I would also come back.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing time at Little Africa! Leandra is such a wonderful host - we were well taken care of the entire time. The lodge is stunning - it is a luxurious experience that still makes you feel connected to the beautiful land and animals in the reserve. The tented rooms were awesome! The shower was so cool - everything in the room was of great quality. We felt so cozy and relaxed. The food was so good - every meal felt like a cozy home cooked meal. They even set up a lovely table for us for dinner to celebrate our honeymoon. The drives were so so so awesome! Never and Mateo were our guides and we had so much fun with them. We saw EVERYTHING. They are so well educated on the bush - we learned so much from them about the animals, plants, and climate. It was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend Little Africa to everyone!
