Motswari African Retreat & Walking Safaris by NEWMARK

Pros: 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!!

Unforgettable walking safari

Pros: Marius and Erik were the best guides. We learnt so much from them in the walking safari. The staff is lovely. The retreat is divine and has a lovely relaxing area both by the pool and in a veranda. I'd highly recommend you stay here for one night before checking in at their private game reserve for more game drives.

Cons: They forgot that I was vegetarian, so my main was sides for two nights in a row. They also forgot that it was my birthday and that we were celebrating our engagement.

Authentic Bush Experience

Pros: Food was fantastic especially Eva’s delicious Melktert! It was the best I’ve had. This is an authentic bush experience with phenomenal guides. Marius and Eric have between them 50 years of knowledge, experience and stories. Been to loads of game lodges - but these two rangers were beyond. They are both a treasure and Motswari is to be commended for this top standard. Rooms were spacious and luxurious. Didn’t want to leave.

Cons: Pool area needs a clean up and tlc. .

Pros: Great Lodge. Fantastic service, amazing safari experience with great ranger. life-time experience.

Außergewöhnlich und unvergesslich!

Pros: 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!

Cons: 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.

Een ervaring om nooit te vergeten!

Pros: Rustig verblijf, lekker eten, enorm vriendelijk personeel.

Cons: Niks

Ganz toll und nur zu empfehlen. Danke für alles!!!

Pros: 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!

An amazing two nights!!

Pros: 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!!

Cons: Nothing, our stay was perfect.
