This was simply a wonderful experience. Our first ever safari and we couldn't have asked for anyone better than our Tracker Jacky and most especially our Guide, Jeremy. They were both amazingly knowledgeable about so many subjects not just the animals but stars and constellations too ! And we had a laugh all the time with both them and the wonderful hospitality manager Anthony. We were very sad to wave good bye to them all as they felt like friends on our departure and what more can you ask from hotel staff than that? Facilities were amazing and with just a maximum 8 guests it was never busy and in fact we had the wonderful pool to ourselves the whole time. The drives were excellent and we were delighted that it was just 4 guests per vehicle making it far more intimate. Worth every penny coming here I can assure you. And lastly can't forget the terrific food served up by the chef Grace and always with a great big smile. But biggest smile must go to Anthony, a credit to the the Motswari Game Reserve.

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.

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)

    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!
