Felt like a „home away from home“ from the first hello until goodbye. Great team, very nice tents, good food and (most important for this kind of holiday) incredible game drives. We saw a lot of animals and it was very nice that they not just concentrate on the big 5 but also told a lot about the bush, the birds and all the other small parts of nature. thanks again to our competent and very funny ranger Edward and the incredible tracker Nicholus.

We loved the location in the middle of the bush. The amenities and the comfort are outstanding while eco responsible. The staff is absolutely lovely and very careful while being very professional. The food is excellent and changes every day, the walk games are wonderful even if of course you don't see as many animals as in cars...but the contact with the nature and the intercation with animals is unique...and our guide was so nice and skilled. I defintely recommend to anyone who wants to live a true expreience in the bush

This place exceeded our expectations. The staff was wonderful and the safari drives were incredible. We had Herbert as our tracker, and Julian as our game guide. Both fantastic and we saw the Big Five and more. Highlight was seeing the wild dogs. Great to chat to during sundowners and so informative with all the information on the animals. Julian also talked to us about various birds and trees along the way. This was a great addition in between looking for the animals. Molly, Dee and our butler Kevin were all wonderful. I couldn’t recommend this place more honestly. The staff was wonderful and attentive, everything was always extremely clean and the food was incredible. Pretty was the chef when we were there and the food was fantastic. We had the best 4 days we wish we stayed longer. The group dinners were very fun too.

I simply loved everything… if I tell you that I was actually depressed to leave to go to the second lodge we booked, would you believe this? - the room was really impeccable, this was my favorite part. We stayed at the Harrier luxury tent. The “lake” goes behind the tent so you can hear all the frogs and animals etc. it’s really amazing. The outdoor shower was crazy good. The room is soooo quiet otherwise. You don’t hear NOTHING except a bunch of different animals. We even heard leopard sounds and a giraffe in the morning. It’s really that amazing. - let me tell you I’m super picky with bedding and sheets and comfort of the bed and I was like AMAZED by how good the bed was. The sheets were high quality… was great 10/10 - the lodge is small so you get really individualized attention, which some might like some might not - they have lots of animals pretty much all the main ones minus lions and rhinos I think. The leopard and hiena are more rare but we did see them in the property so it was SOOO worth it. Flora the guide was super cool and we did an extra drive with her at ngiht to look for the leopard. This for me MADE THE TRIP. Because I felt like I was close to the people working there and we could talk and adjust and be flexible with the stuff. This was a big plus, since I don’t like these SUPER structured commercial lodges (we saw some like that…)

The property was well maintained and well managed. The food was a 10 out of 10 with a lot of variety. The location was incredible with all the wild animals visible from all areas of the property. The rooms were incredibly insulated feeling cool during the heat of the day and warm in the cold nights. The game drives were fantastic with exceptional guides who used their knowledge of the bush to put us right where the animals were every time. We were able to see the big 5 multiple times throughout our stay as well as a wide range of other animals

MOTSWARI exceeded all our expectations! We loved absolutely everything about it. I would like to emphasize the beautiful location and facilities of the entire camp and our bungalow. All six trips out into the South African animal kingdom were also incredibly beautiful. We saw leopards every day. And we also saw all the other big five and many more. Our guides Lola and Lot were extremely experienced and friendly. Thank you so much for these unforgettable days! We will definitely be back!

It was an amazing experience, not only the safari itself but also the staff that created an immersive experience. We were there for 4 nights and we had dinner on different locations within the camp with great (and healthy) food and we were taken care of from a-z.

Breakfast was very good. There was a standard menu and a daily special. The food quality was very good and the service exceptional. There was both hot and cold options (or both if you were still hungry). I loved the poached egg and spinach on toast (daily special)
