MOTSWARI PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
Games in Sandton

Imagine waking up high in the elevation of a tree, in the middle of the African bush, watching the sun rise over the horizon and the wildlife environment coming to life, shedding the mysteries of the night in its cleansing embrace. That is exactly what the Motswari Giraffe’s Nest will offer guests who decide to spend a night overlooking Xanatsi Dam, providing an experience that will live long in the memory. Offering the comfort and indulgence of our main camp, you can relax on the sumptuous bed or in one of the cosy chairs on the viewing deck. Adding to your comfort is an eco-bathroom upstairs so there is no need to leave your platform above the landscape. For those looking for a truly unrivalled experience, be sure to leave the front section of the roof open so that you can enjoy the stars on a clear night from your bed or cover up in case of the threat of rain with the retractable canvass roof. Drinks and a delicious simple dinner will be provided for you to enjoy. Getting close to the untouched wildlife that South Africa is famed for on an African wildlife safari, is what Motswari is really all about. Our guides are residents of the area and have, in addition to the scientific knowledge that we encourage them to attain, an intimate knowledge of the location and wildlife that comes from a lifetime of co-existence with their surrounds. We encourage visitors to make the most of the time that they have in this setting by offering extended game drives of three-and-a-half hours each in open Land Rovers at sunrise and sunset to ensure an unforgettable game viewing experience. We also offer guided walking safaris with one of our highly experienced and armed trail-guides for those who wish to get the most from their African experience. Our knowledgeable staff members give talks on wildlife and bushveld topics and will gladly answer any related questions for our guests. Supporting the Big Five are several other species of wildlife, including cheetah and wild dogs and naturally occurring herbivores from the antelope and gazelle family. The avian population is unrivalled for the avid birdwatcher, with well over 350 different species to be spotted year-round. Morning and evening game drives in open Land Rovers with professional field guides and trackers. We house a fully-equipped conference facility for executives making use of the lodge for team-building, product launches and corporate getaways. There is also an internet hotspot available for those wishing to conduct business during their time with us. In addition we have a library available as well as an art gallery. This camp is a true place of reflection and tranquillity, quietly nestled a few kilometres from the main game lodge. The lodge comprises two stone houses boasting a total of four spacious en-suite bedrooms (four bedrooms if sold to a single group of travellers), a communal lounge area and a swimming pool. Views of the Nhlaralumi River are breathtaking, and the wrap-around patio is the perfect place for a cold gin and tonic. You could also decide to take a Motswari trail walk with a ranger for an unmatched African wildlife experience. If you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere, peaceful communion with nature and a luxury safari experience on a traditional African game farm, this holiday location is for you! Access to this gate house is possible even if there are storms in the area. For your convenience and to enhance your experience we transfer from the gate house using our safari trucks.
