Motswari Private Game Reserve

Robin Healy

An amazing place. I stayed there for 3 nights as part of my honeymoon. The safari drives were amazing! We saw each of the Big 5 several times. The Lodge itself, was brilliant. Comfortable rooms, incredible staff, and great food. My wife and I stayed in the giraffe's nest for one night as well and it really was a once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend doing it!

Stayed here for a few nights in September. I would describe this place as comfortable and rustic. The game reserves pretty much all follow the same format with some variations. There two drives a day and early morning one and an evening one. They both take a few hours and allow you to try to see a variety of animals. The food was excellent and the facilities are nice. You have to be escorted after dark around the facility. I would wish there was either fitness facilities or trail for walking. There is not much room for that since it's out in the bush.

Our stay at Motswari was fantastic - to start off, the property itself is absolutely stunning, the rooms are spacious and beautiful, and you are surrounded by wildlife 24/7 due to the open air fence. The food for all three meals was delicious - they just kept feeding us and it got better each time! The safari's themselves were amazing - I've been on many safari's before, mostly in national parks where an animal sighting is reported and 20 cars race and crowd the animal and it feels very uncomfortable. This did not happen here - all of the guides are in contact with one another and the surrounding private lodges and have a 1-2 car rule where you are only ever around one another car while doing your animal sighting. This made it an incredibly intimate experience with each animal and felt like we were respecting the wildlife while still being able to get up close. The guides were also fantastic - we had Paul and Magic who were the best duo we could have asked for. We saw the big 5 in one day in addition to wild dog sightings every day, hyena dens and pups, several leopards and lion prides, and elephants and giraffes everywhere! Motswari offered everything you could want in a safari and more, and it's true when they say leave as a friend. We visited for our honeymoon and are already planning our next trip back! 11/10 recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Fantastic game lodge, saw the big 5 in the first 2 game drives. Staff is very friendly and food is excellent. Josh, our guide was very knowledgeable and made each drive an adventure. Highly recommend Motswari game lodge.

Amazing can’t recommend enough. We had Owen (driver) and George (tracker) for our game drives and they were extremely knowledgeable and easy to get along with! No questions were stupid! We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 on multiple occasions across our 5 days thanks to them both. Couldn’t believe how close you get to some of the animals. We also loved the sundowner drinks at the ‘pop-up bar’ on the evening game drives. The service around the camp was also amazing and big shout out to Dimpho who was so welcoming and always remembered our drink orders!
