At the foot of the stunning Drakensberg Mountain range lies Moditlo River Lodge, in the biodiverse Blue Canyon Conservancy. Meaning ‘place of the elephant,’ Moditlo remains true to its name with the abundance of wildlife that can be spotted roaming the reserve which includes rhinos and rare wild dogs.
