Motswari Lodge offers 15 luxurious, climate-controlled bungalows with tasteful, all-natural interiors and superb views from the private verandas. Facilities at the lodge include a swimming pool, two bars and a gift shop with locally created products. Guests are also offered al fresco dining in the bush or in the traditional boma.

A short game-drive away from the main camp, a private under-the-stars experience for two awaits. Overlooking the Xanatsi Dam, guests have the opportunity to be treeted to a luxury tree-house sleep out, at an additional cost.

Covering an area of 150 km², Motswari Private Game Reserve is located within the Timbavati Reserve on the western edge of the Kruger National Park and north of the Sabi area. The reserve is unfenced and animals are able to move freely to and from Kruger National Park. As the lodge is part of a private concession, game drives are refreshingly private with few other vehicles in the concession.

Offering excellent wildlife observation possibilities, Kruger National Park is the most renowned, largest (almost 2 million hectares) and game-rich national park in South Africa. The landscape here encompasses gently flowing hills, forests, open grasslands and romantic riverbanks. In addition to the Big 5 (elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo), the park is also home to hyena, hippo, giraffe, antelope and much, much more.

The reserve is accessible by road from Hoedspruit (40min) or by plane from Johannesburg (1.5hrs).

Local guides are more than happy to show guests what the region has to offer - and there's a lot! The big five (elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, leopard) may be encountered, along with cheetah, wild dog, antelope, zebra, giraffe and much more.

The camp offers day and night game drives and bushwalking.
