Tudo perfeito
We stayed for 3 nights and had some extraordinary safari experiences (pack of lions and wilddogs just meters next to us). The food was absolutely excellent and the accommodation very comfortable and cosy.
Exceptional
Nothing
Food and service was great. Enjoyed time to relax and walking safaris. Incredible learning experience! Rooms are decorated with a stunning creative flair!
Safaris in the dark as there was little to see. Quality/strength of coffee could be better. Would be good to communicate/manage expectations around animal sightings - that’s it’s unpredictable. Wondering about the communication btw Motswari trackers to enhance sighting opportunities on drives.
The room was amazing, the food pretty good as well.
The staff was very profesional and very pproachable.
Food, staff and general level of engagement was perfect. They make you feel relaxed, yet attentive. Great staff, involved and understanding of needs.
The location and the staff
Nothing
Les bush walk matinaux permettant une plus grande immersion dans la nature africaine pour découvrir oiseaux, plantes, insectes... Les appels de la hyène et du lion la nuit. La hyène qui tente de s'inviter à notre table le soir, l'éléphant qui traverse le lodge en journée... les martins pêcheurs qui creusent leur nid dans la berge.

Exceptional stay at Motswari! Guide Hayden provided an unforgettable experience, the food was otherworldly and the staff team were incredibly friendly and always present to help with any needs or requirements.
I'm looking forward to return
We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Motswari! It was the beginning of our South Africa trip and could not have been better.
The accommodation was beautiful, the food absolutely delicious (thank you Eva!), the staff very very friendly (thank you MJ).
Our safari experiences were also extremely special: both the walking and the jeep ones. Our guides Marius and Nadir took such good care of us and shared their passion for nature. We really shared very special moments together in the bush - thanks a lot for that’
We were also celebrating a special occasion, so Desmond (thank you so much!!) suggested to sleep one night in the Giraffes nest - a hut in the middle of nowhere were you can spend the night. The lodge provides you with everything you need there.
We spent the most magical night in the bush, felt completely safe and loved every second of it.
Thank you thank you thank you!!

Tolles und sehr herzliches Personal, traumhafte Lodge/ Zimmer (ohne Zaun, dadurch mitten in der Natur und noch authentischeres Erlebnis), phantastisches Essen (ob Frühstück, Lunch oder Abendessen - alles wurde immer frisch zubereitet). Die Safaris mit Marius und Conny waren professionell und für uns rundum perfekt (wir haben hier die meisten Tiere und Pflanzen gesehen, obwohl wir noch in einer zweiten Lodge im Krüger übernachtet haben). Das Wissen der beiden war unglaublich und wir hätten ihnen noch Stunden lang zuhören können. Die Walking Safaris in der Früh sind wirklich einzigartig und ergänzen die Game Drives am Nachmittag perfekt! Vielen Dank für unser rundum perfektes Honeymoon-Safari Erlebnis!
Für uns gab es absolut nichts negatives - wir haben aber mitbekommen, dass andere Gäste frühzeitig abgereist sind, weil sie nicht auf die Safaris zu Fuß (bis zu 3 Stunden) eingestellt waren oder keine passende Kleidung & Schuhwerk dabei hatten.
Alles war super!

The lodge, the staff, the location
The game drives were limited to a small area. At no time was it explained when booking that the game drives would be limited to 30% of the Timbavati reserve. Secondly it was only once we booked that the T's and C's stated that if you are 65yrs or older you would need a medical certificate to do the walk. It was also not clearly stated that you would be limited to 1x game drive in afternoon and that you would have to do the walk in the morning.
Deceptive advertising by the lodge!
Wir behalten Motswari immer in guter Erinnerung. Kleine Gruppen bei den Safari-Touren und äußerst nettes Personal.
Auch das Essen inkl. Getränke ist von morgens bis abends herausragend.
Ganz tolles Erlebnis und wir kommen gerne wieder!
Rustig verblijf, lekker eten, enorm vriendelijk personeel.

Our stay at the Motswari Retreat was amazing! The rooms were beautiful, so thoughtful decorated and well equipped, the meals were delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Desmond, the manager, is extremely friendly and was always going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Marius, our guide, and Erick, our tracker, were excellent as well and we appreciated how passionate and experienced they were. Our chef, Eva, and her team were fantastic and every meal was outstanding, especially the outdoor bonfire/grill night. We cannot say enough great things about the Motswari retreat!!
Nothing, our stay was perfect.
