Amazing Safari experience. I was staying alone but felt very safe, cared for and made great friends. I feel the place attracts good people. The staff were friendly, the safari guides exceptional with their professionalism and humor. The meals were prepared with care and love. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

We had an amazing time at Motswari. The food was top tier and all of the staff made us feel at home. We saw some very rare animals during our safaris and couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience. The owner and manager of the reserve were also present and very friendly. We would love to come back to Motswari.

Exceptional Safari Experience – Beyond Expectations! Driving all the way from Skukuza through Kruger into the heart of Timbavati, Motswari exceeded every expectation. The lodge is stunning and set in a truly breathtaking location, but what really makes this place special is the staff. Rudolf and his team went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their warmth, knowledge, and hospitality made us feel completely at home. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more – an absolutely unforgettable experience!

Geiger’s Camp, located in the Motswari Private Game Reserve, was truly the highlight of our trip. The grounds were beautifully maintained in a natural state, creating an authentic and relaxing atmosphere. The meals were outstanding, the service was impeccable, and every detail of our stay was thoughtfully handled. Our guide team, Hayden and Patrick, were extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and kept us entertained on every game drive. The accommodations were first class and exceeded our expectations in every way. Most of all, the hosts genuinely lived up to their motto: “arrive as a visitor, leave as a friend.”

This was the second time we stayed at Umlani and had another fabulous experience. The game drives, food, hospitality, comfort of the individual huts, were all excellent. We wished we had stayed longer and will definitely be back.

The property was well maintained and well managed. The food was a 10 out of 10 with a lot of variety. The location was incredible with all the wild animals visible from all areas of the property. The rooms were incredibly insulated feeling cool during the heat of the day and warm in the cold nights. The game drives were fantastic with exceptional guides who used their knowledge of the bush to put us right where the animals were every time. We were able to see the big 5 multiple times throughout our stay as well as a wide range of other animals

Having been on safari a few times before, the experience simply exceeded my expectations. I would highlight our exceptional team of Hayden and Patrick. More than simply seeing the big five, which we did, it was how we saw them and their interactions: leopard, lion, wild dog, all had it in for the hyenas! The accommodation was comfortable and authentic, the food wonderful and the staff friendly. The overnight Giraffe's Nest stay is a must. We will be back

My wife and I stayed at Motswari to celebrate our honeymoon and it exceeded every single one of our expectations. All of the staff were fantastic, the food and accomodation was great and the safari was excellent - we saw the big 5 and our guide Godfrey and tracker George were so friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back!
