Overview of Motswiri Private Safari Lodge

Motswiri Private Safari Lodge offers an exclusive bush experience in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, a private conservation area lying on the edge of the Kalahari. The thatched lodge and the five private villas are built in and around a thicket of mature leadwood trees, incorporating them into the rustic architecture of the lodge. Your schedule of activities revolves around your needs and those of your group, and Motswiri’s attentive staff will do their best to meet all your requests.

The early morning and late afternoon/early evening game drives, accompanied by a knowledgeable game ranger, are an opportunity to spot the Big 5 and learn more about this unique environment. Motswiri Private Safari Lodge can be booked individually or can be booked for the exclusive use of a family or a group of up to 10 friends who wish to have the whole place to themselves.

      What a perfect family lodge in the African bush! The views of elephants playing near the waterhole while I sipped on a glass of wine had to have been one of my favourite moments on safari.
