We spent 2 nights in Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful food, service, exclusivity and personal attention. Our ranger, Marius was exceptional and made every game drive and our walking safari unforgettable. His trackers, Elvis and Misha was just as amazing with their knowledge of the animals and the bush. We saw 3 of the 5 "big five" in just 1.5 days of being there, thanks to these guys. The food and service at the lodge was beyond our expectations in every way. I was a vegetarian and they catered for me with exceptional skill and charm. The food was really outstanding, thank you Glenda and team! Our other hosts, Desmond and MJ looked after every detail and made our stay wonderful. Our room was large, luxurious and comfortable. We each had a great massage too (thank you Lerato), in a space where you can watch giraffes walk by... The setting of this private lodge is amazing, you overlook a river with giraffes and elephants walking by. We even had a hyena come close to us while sitting around the camp fire - so special. This was a once in a life time experience and we hope to be back again soon!

The choice of food and its preparation were excellent. Aaron knew what we would need after an early or late game drive. He specialises in homemade bread and pastries. Yum.The lodge is small and intimate. Perfect for personalised game drives. It shares an unfenced border with Kruger NP. The animals roam free around the lodge. The accommodation was elegant and well-appointed. Sunday, our guide was very thoughtful and knowledgeable. It was very special that Aaron, Victoria and Sunday surprised us with a wedding anniversary dinner for two. The elephant loping around in the (near) background and the hyena watching, hoping for leftovers, just added to the authentic atmosphere!

Exceptional. What a find. Joe and his team made us feel so welcome. We stayed here last year and it was good but this time it’s even better and we can’t fault anything. The location is superb and just 2 minutes from Orpen Gate. The food and service rivalled any 5 star hotel and restaurant anywhere in the world. The rooms are clean, spacious with beautiful crisp linen and very comfortable. This is a superb find and thoroughly recommended.

Everything is perfect. The facility, foods, location, staff is much better than expected. We didn’t see leopard. However we were very satisfied to see a very impressive scene ( lions eating zebra….)

We arrived quite late after a struggle with navigation but had great directiond and such a warm welcome from our host Annie. The house is so beautiful and inviting, with such a great eye for detail. We loved spending time on the veranda and the evenings around the fire was exactly what we needed after long days in the Kruger. We loved the four legged friends that checked in every now and then. We hope to come back and enjoy more of the facilities!
