Amazing! We loved our time at Motswari - it was perfect in every way. The staff were so kind and accommodating, the food was excellent (I’m a vegetarian and always had plenty of options), the rooms were beautiful, and the safari drives were fantastic. We had Owen and Hendry as our guide and tracker - we could not recommend them more! We saw all the Big 5. We loved that this lodge had all the modern amenities while still maintaining an African safari feel.

This was our first safari and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. We were allocated the same guide Lola and tracker Tembo for our full stay. They made us feel part of the adventure and not just spectators. Their wealth of knowledge and experience added greatly to our game drives. The lodge itself was very comfortable with an excellent river view. The food was excellent. Presented by joyful staff .Lots of thoughtful touches such as sundowners on the game drive. We hope to return .

We had a superb time at this beautiful lodge. The rooms were great and the food (and dancing) were excellent. Of course, the game drives were fantastic. Lola and Thabo were brilliant, and very knowledgeable and professional. Yoga on the decking was a surprise. I would highly recommend this.

Motswari provided us with a truly amazing and memorable experience in every way! Every aspect of the lodge - the rooms, the service, the food, the game drives, the staff - was absolutely incredible! We were particularly impressed with the delicious food and how well they accommodated someone in our party with dietary requirements. The game drives were FANTASTIC. The guides and trackers were amazing and we saw the Big 5 and so many other beautiful animals. They truly do treat the guests like family, and we felt a special connection to them in the 4 nights we were there. Highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible place. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious and varied. My wife is dairy intolerant and they made a huge effort in preparing her suitable food and alternative milk for coffee & cereals. The game drives were excellent. The Ranger and tracker, Joshua and Difference, were awesome. So knowledgeable and explained things so well. Importantly, they were open to questions on the animals and also the local environment. We managed to see the Big 5 x2, plus loads of other animals in the park. They managed to get us so close, but were very thoughtful on the animals welfare. Accommodation was good, though the rooms were a little dark. Don't know if this was for less consumption of electricity? The mixture of meal venues around the main lodge was nice as to was the evening meal out in the bush. Brilliant 4 nights, well looked after and great drives out in the bush.

This experience was incredible! Super friendly and warm staff. The amenities and accommodation were on point with lot of comfort while being made traditionally in respect with the surroundings. The food served four times a day was great with variety and large quantities, making us discover local cuisine. The Safari drives went perfectly fine, we were able to see all the animals living in the reserve with great respect and explanations from our guide and tracker.
