Traveller reviews

“Book it, every single part of the stay was top notch.”
04 Jan 2025
Every single part of our stay was 10/10 The game drives you are taken on are amazing - we saw the big 5 in the first 3 drives. Joshua, our ranger and Difference, our tracker were superb at their jobs; super relaxed and highly skilled at what they do. The food is out of this world! The staff are extremely nice and accommodating of any request but they are not too ‘in your face’ either - they allow you to make what ever you like of your stay. Elizabeth and Thambi and their team do such amazing work with fresh and local produce - every meal was an experience to remember! Jan is one of the waiters and bar men - he was so kind and friendly in his engagements with us, making us feel welcome and give us an insight into life in the area. He chatted freely about his life and asked about our lives. Getting to know him and the other staff was a real bonus of the trip. You come as a tourist and leave as a friend.

“Incredible first safari experience for great value”
02 Jan 2025
Excellent food, in both quality and variety. Quality of the drives and guides / trackers were exceptional. Staff hospitality was amongst the best I've experienced in any hotel.

“Magical experience with exceptional service, stunning wildlife, and unforgettable safaris at Motswari!”
25 Dec 2024
Our stay at Motswari Private Game Reserve was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. Our room was immaculate—clean, tidy, and incredibly comfortable. The facilities are stunning, and we were lucky enough to spot animals strolling by multiple times. The all-inclusive service was exceptional, with an abundance of delicious, high-quality food. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable—so kind, attentive, and warm. The private safari, which runs twice a day, was impeccably organized and simply amazing. A special thank you to Joshua, our driver, and David, our tracker. Highly, highly recommended!

“It was stimulating and enjoyable. We appreciate this experience and feel privileged to have had it.”

It was different than what we had seen before. That was stimulating. There was drought and the nature reflected the climate. Facilities were good, the staff wonderful.

“An incredible, semi-luxurious experience with the most amazing people”
10 Dec 2024
The property is located in an amazing private game reserve. Our guide Owen and tracker George were fantastic, they were very knowledgeable and every game drive was an experience! The staff were simply the happiest and kindest bunch we have ever seen! The food was really nice! Diverse and very interesting! The small pool is very refreshing, something you’ll appreciate on a hot day.

“Just perfect”
06 Dec 2024
They said to us that ' you come as a visitor and you leave as a friend' as its totally true. Lola, Lot & Jon were totally missed. The gamedrives are worth waking up early. You make lots of new friends too. The food was beyond our expectations.

“Very happy”

The knowledge of the guide, Owen. Seeing the wild dogs was amazing.

“Absolutely amazing- a must!! Staff are exceptional!”
21 Nov 2024
Our stay was absolutely fantastic! Our guide Hayden and tracker Patrick were incredible, so knowledgeable and friendly, they really made our experience. The drives were great, we saw such a variety of animals including the big 5. We saw and learnt something new every drive. The lodge is lovely, our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We stayed in Roan room and had a lovely porch looking out to the savanna woodland, where we saw animals roaming past. The pool area is a beautiful view too. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. Food is delicious- we tried kudu and wildebeest! We also did the giraffe nest which was an amazing experience. We got to see a hyena and a lion visit the watering hole in front of the treehouse. The stars and moon were amazing and listening to all the animals sounds. Could not recommend this lodge enough!! Unforgettable 5 days.

“Amazing game drive experience, excellent food and very friendly staff.”
13 Nov 2024
The best game drive experience! We absolutely enjoyed the game drives with Josh, who was so passionate and motivated to show us the big five and many more animals. The staff at Motswari is extremely friendly and puts a lot of effort into everything. The food is really good.

“Unforgettable”
27 Oct 2024
I’m not sure I can put into words the joy this incredible 3 night stay at Motswari gave us. Our lodge Nyla was wonderful so tastefully decorated and very spacious and comfortable. We were collected from our room and escorted to dinner each evening by the friendly staff. The food was fabulous and the staff out of this world, nothing was too much trouble. Loved their singing at lunch as they brought in the food. Josh and Difference were the most amazing guide and tracker and we loved our time with them. They worked so hard to make sure we saw the Big 5 and yes we did multiple times. Thank you to everyone at Motswari for making us so welcome we certainly felt we left as friends and will be back ❤️
