Situated within the Grietjie Game Reserve, a part of Balule in the Greater Kruger Park, you’ll find Modjadji Estate Lodge. This exclusive adults-only retreat sits atop a hill, offering a mesmerizing view of the Olifant’s (Elephant) River and the majestic Drakensberg mountains. The estate boasts a range of amenities, including a spa, pool area, Lapa, braai facilities, laundry services, and a beautifully designed entertainment section. The accommodations are tastefully adorned and each comes with its own patio area.

Grietjie Private Nature Reserve is located in the northern section of the Balule Nature Reserve, just 30 km south of Phalaborwa in the Limpopo Province. Spanning across approximately 2,800 hectares, the reserve features an impressive 6 km stretch of river frontage along the perennial Olifants River. Following the removal of the Kruger National Park boundary fence, the area has witnessed an influx of wildlife, transforming Grietjie into one of the rare Big 5 reserves.

As a result, it has gained significant popularity among tourists.

Balule Nature Reserve, including Grietjie, falls within the boundaries of the Greater Kruger National Park and the UNESCO-designated Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve. This expansive biosphere reserve holds the distinction of being the largest of its kind in the world. Notably, Grietjie Game Reserve has recently been declared a Protected Area, further enhancing its status and commitment to preserving the natural environment.
