This was our 4th visit and every bit as good as the others.The food is outstanding and the staff friendly and helpful. The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The game drives were amazing enhanced by the knowledge of the guide and skill of the tracker. Altogether a truly memorable experience. Thank you Motswari!

The subtle "bush" decor and perfect position of the property in the Timbavati area. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The game drives were well organised and professionally undertaken.

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)

We loved the exciting and comfortable game drives, the sundowners in the bush, the knowledgeable, friendly staff - we loved eating with the staff and other travelers at dinner - all communal areas were spotless and comfortable - staff was always on hand to ask questions or get a drink. The wildlife guides, Connie and Taybon, were just phenomenal, and the food was all delicious and rooms/showers were very comfortable! Location, animals (we saw SO MANY), everything outstanding.

    From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated superbly by the lodge manager , safari guides and staff. Nothing too much trouble. The game drives were exceptional - Gideon and Eric were great company, very informative and tuned their information to the guests (we have been on safari many times) providing some real detailed knowledge. Food was great and a really great atmosphere to the whole experience.

    This Reserve is just amazing. We had such a great time here. Such friendly staff, great lodges, awesome food and service. The best part were the Game drives - they were just amazing. We saw all big 5 and so many more great animals. Our guides went out of their way to make the time we had as memorable and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend.

    We were received very nicely. On the way to the lodge three leopards came towards us. That was an incredible experience. The food at the lodge was great. The safaris were impressive. A coffee stop while a herd of elephants with many baby elephants gather at the waterhole is an incredible experience. The rooms are very spacious, clean, nicely furnished and quiet. Nothing was missing.

    Loved absolutely everything! The staff were exceptional & personable. The lodge and luxury tent was stunning, highlight was when a herd of elephants walked past as we sat on the deck! The safari and trackers were amazing, we learnt so much, they are so dedicated and talented! Epic G&T sundowners. Literally had a tear in my eye leaving it was that magical! Great for honeymooners, couples & families, we met lovely people!
