Traveller Reviews

  • I loved the note from you when we arrived at Motswari. That experience was so fantastic, and Camps Bay has been great too. You've outdone yourself again!

    Jennifer Miranne, March 2012

  • Our stay at Motswari was indescribable. It surpassed all our expectations. From amazing game drives, to lovely lodge accommodation, friendly staff, well prepared food, and incredibly passionate ranger. Motswari was exactly what I was expecting: small and cosy lodge, in rustic style.
