Motswiri Private Safari Lodge Madikwe Game Reserve, Northern South Africa Truly impeccable! We stayed at the luxurious (malaria free) exclusive residence for 4 exceptional days having flown from Cape Town and then been driven 4+ hours from Johannesburg to the camp, which was easily accommodated. Our first ever sojourn into such environment; "safari virgins"! I cannot describe the completely exotic,... More

Stunning, magnificent, wonderful, am running out of descriptions..... Just back from 3 nights at Motswiri. The camp setting is lovely with a waterhole that was straight in front of our chalet. There are only 5 rooms, so its small and quiet and very personal. The rooms are lovely, big beds, plenty space, a wonderful outdoor shower in the bathroom, and... More

Spent 3 days at Motswiri in March - really amazing and exactly as advertised online. Small (max. 10 people) and very personalised service, extremely friendly & helpful staff. Made to feel very special & spoilt. Beautiful accommodation with a very special touch (every little detail has been thought of). Game ranger very knowledgeable. Saw a fair amount of game, 4... More

This lodge was absolutely fantastic and I had one of the most memorable trips here. The lodge is so luxurious and you feel thoroughly spoilt staying here. Whilst it was a bit on the expensive side, we got all our meals and games drives included which was great value for money. The grounds are spectacular with so much attention to... More

If you are looking for a game lodge to stay at look no further than Motswiri in Madikwe. This was my second trip to Motswiri and I was once again amazed by the quality of the lodge, the staff, and the experience. My first trip was with three friends on a boys trip, this second one was with my girlfriend... More

What a way to kick off our first trip to South Africa! Motswiri was the first safari for our kids and the first lodge of our visit. It proved to be our favourite lodge and it must be said all were excellent. We did a lot of research having initially wanted to travel to Botswana which proved too expensive -... More

A small group of us recently stayed at Motswiri and enjoyed every minute of it. The small size of it makes it feel like your very own lodge. The service and food was excellent. And the game ranger, Zede, was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. He seemed motivated to make sure we saw everything during our time there.... More

What a fantastic lodge! We stayed here for a few nights whilst doing a safari at Madikwe, and I am really glad we choose such an intimate and friendly place. Zede was our game ranger, and consistently tried to find all the game we wanted to see. Andre who was the other ranger was great entertainment in the bar at... More

A group of us recently spent 3 days at Motswiri, and enjoyed all that the lodge has to offer. The rooms are lovely, very comfortable with luxurious furnishings (for a bush lodge) and luxurious bathroom with a big bath and outside shower. The rooms are far from each other (particularly Room 1) - so you don't need to see anyone... More
