It was amazing. The rooms were excellent. With great views over the river, often frequented by animals. The food was terrific. Our guide and tracker, Noel and David, could not have been better. We saw the big 5 and much more- many giraffes, Zebra, hippo etc. we arrived about 1pm. Lunch is at 2.30, game drive 3.30-6.30pm, dinner at 7.30pm. On the day we left we did the normal 6.30-9.30am game drive...
Nothing- it was outstanding.Read more
Accommodation good, food very good. Each night they had dinner in a different area. A lovely boma one night. The bush brekki was different and nice. Prince looked after us well. Game drives excellent with wonderful sightings Lion, leopard, elephant, giraffe etc our game driver Hayden was very informative and Patrick our tracker was good. Enjoyed the drinks stop in the evening and early morning cof...
We had wanted to return to Motswari main camp but they upgraded us to the Health Retreat we were a bit cross about this!Read more
Game drives were exciting and well organised. Great variety of food options, staff were all wonderful and always went above and beyond for guests. Camp was a good size with different areas to explore, pool area was a bit small.
not cheap but worth the experience, the staff was exceptional and the game drives in the private nature reserve were something else! our bungalow was super clean and cozy, the food was really good and offered a great variety. also worth mentioning that while not having a dedicated spa they offer in-room massages which were amazing as well.
one thing that is missing is a gym - that would really make it heaven on earth (as you are in the middle of the reserve you cannot go for a walk either) conservation fee for the reserve should be included in the price / highlighted somewhere
Had an amazing stay at Motswari. Our room was clean and cozy, everyone super helpful and kind and food was great. The pool had a nice view over a creek where animals come to drink. The game drives were amazing, we did 6 and managed to see the big 5 after 4 game drives. Nice detail is that you get assigned to the same team (guide + tracker) every game drive, so you get to know them better and they ...
Details, but the outside seating at our chalet (Zebra) could use a bit of attention as it was not super inviting to sit there.Read more
The people were the best part. The place was luxurious with excellent service . Food and drinks were plenty and overflowing . Our guide and tracker were so good — Josh and David . We saw all the big 5. So professionally run . Very romantic
I'm a bit uncomfortable with the staff having to rely on tips. Maybe it's a cultural thing 🤔....
The whole experience was excellent and I could not recommend this hotel enough. We used an organised transfer by the hotel to get to the lodge; the drive there and back (around 90 minutes each way) was like its own safari. We saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, birds, hippos, baboons and so much more. The driver was happy to stop and let us take pictures. It was an amazing introduction to the whole s...
My only slight issue was that there is no Wifi in the rooms however it is easily accessed in the communal areas and only added to our relaxation during the stay. It was the smallest inconvenience that was dwarfed by everything else being amazing.Read more
Everything worked like clock work. It is all very well organised. The breakfast was the best meal of the day for us (we are both vegetarians) There was plenty of variety of food. The staff were welcoming, very friendly and fun, nothing was too much trouble. Our Driver and Tracker were very knowledgeable and experienced, they made every drive different. We would highly recommend staying here.
There is very little not to like, however we would have preferred our food served hotter, but that is our personal choice We also would have preferred better lighting as it was difficult to see, once inside the rooms, of course this adds to the atmosphere and is probably done like that for a reason to fit in with its environment.
We liked everything about our stay at Motswari! The place is managed amazingly in all aspects and food is delicious! We were impressed by our guide and tracker on our 4 drives which allowed us to see all Big 5 plus many other animals. Owen, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and together with George, our tracker, the team was extremely driven to track down the animals our group wanted to see!
