Although ostriches can't fly, they more than make up for it in other ways!
• They are the largest bird on earth, reaching up to 2,7m tall and weighing as much as 160 kg
• Their eyes are bigger than their brains
• They are capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 km/h
• They have incredibly powerful kicks - one of their primary defense mechanisms
• The volume of a single ostrich egg is equivalent to roughly 24 chicken eggs
What's flying in the face of all of that?

A week of profound returning to the great circle of love ⭕️ the mandala of existence where every creature, element and ecosystem is in sacred relation.
In the heart of the South African bush, we rose with the sun 🌅 learned from wild teachers 🐾 and remembered the intelligence woven through all things. 🌈 Every encounter with tree, rock and rino 🦏 cracked the heart open a little wider with awe.
We gathered from across the planet 🌍 on this ancient land that is the cradle of humanity and humility… and we offered up our devotion through meditation, movement, music and creative play!
During a time of such collective turmoil and heartache, this retreat became a pledge to soul, to beauty, presence and belonging. A life-revivifying reminder that we are not separate from the earth, or from one another… but intricately woven into the great tapestry of the whole. 🌐
Deep gratitude to @annietarasova and @soundsofholloway for holding space alongside me, @molorisafari and my South African family for making this dream a reality, as well as each of these brave and curious souls that ventured with us into the heart of the wild to open to the wonder of existence together!
Words and pictures on this little screen don’t quite come close to the capturing the 360 degree heart-detonating majesty…
So maybe there will be a next time, and maybe you’ll just have to join us then…
In love and awe, all ways,

Molori Safari is unlike any lodge you have stayed in before.
Our interiors, dreamed up by renowned South African design studio Hesse Kleinloog, layer rich textures, vibrant colour and a distinguished collection of contemporary African art into spaces that feel as considered and alive as the wilderness around you.

The sundowner was waiting before you thought to ask for it.
That's the Molori way. 🥂

Meet the Black-backed jackal...
Often seen as the trickster of the bush, this sharp and adaptable predator is known for its intelligence and resourcefulness. While it may not be part of the Big 5, it plays an important role in the ecosystem - hunting, scavenging, and surviving where larger predators sometimes cannot.
A reminder that some of the most interesting stories in the bush come from the wildlife beyond the Big 5.

And just like that, it's the beginning of May and the start of another wonderful game-viewing season in Madikwe Game Reserve!
Seasons in the bush are not marked off on a calendar, but felt in the air. Guests joining us this month will experience the approach of winter in the brisk mornings, clear, star-filled night sky, and cooler days that make time outdoors - from game drives to walking safaris - even more enjoyable.
Remember to pack cosy layers and a good book - we'll take care of the rest.

There is no better way to describe a stay at Molori Safari than through the words of the people who have been here.
Time and again, our guests tell us it was the people - the guides, the chefs, the team - that made the difference. That is something we will never stop being proud of.

Welcome to the Sephiri Family Premier Suite.
The bubble bath, the art-filled living space, the deck suspended above the bush... Each element would be extraordinary on its own, but here they come with the African wilderness as a backdrop, and that makes all the difference.

The Milky Way, as you have never seen it before.
With virtually no light pollution from any urban settlements, and one of the largest private telescopes in South Africa, our observatory opens up the night sky in a way that is genuinely difficult to put into words.
Autumn, with its crisp nights and clear skies, is a wonderful time of year for stargazing.

Earth Day, every day 🌍
A reminder that the wild places we love are not guaranteed, they are protected, nurtured, and fought for. From the quiet magic of early morning game drives to the birds that keep our life lists growing, it all depends on a healthy planet 🌱
Here’s to conserving, appreciating, and never taking it for granted.
