Motswari Private Game Reserve by NEWMARK

Pros: Everything including the drives, the food, the staff was of the most exceptional quality

Cons: NA

Amazing stay !

Pros: Everything was about this stay was amazing! Great staff and food offerings. I would highly recommend to plan a stay at this lodge. The staff made the stay extra special. They are kind and courteous - this needs to be emphasized!

Pros: Everything about Motswari is wonderful. The rooms are all comfortable and private, the staff (from cleaners, to chefs, to waiting staff, to the guides) were all incredible and made us feel so relaxed. All the meals provided were delicious and plenty. Only having WiFi in the communal area is a great idea and helped us disconnect and relax fully whilst there.

Cons: Having to leave.

Pros: Accommodation & camp are fantastic - both luxurious and rustic at the same time. We loved that is no fence around the camp but this does bring limitations such as not being able to walk around freely after dark. Food was excellent and they were very accommodating for various dietary needs in our group. Guide and tracker were very knowledgable and spotted some fantastic sightings. All the staff in the camp are so friendly and hospitable and caring.

Cons: We would have liked to have seen some of the night life on the drive even to have stopped and look at the stars but were given no opportunity for this on the drive or in the camp as the camp is full of trees and there was nowhere without light where we could sit & look up. For snacks and drinks on game drive, since there were kids in our group, would have liked many soft drinks from the start but this was quickly changed for the next drive, also would have loved dried mango or a fresh fruit (eg apple or banana) on the drives.

Far exceeded our expectations

Pros: Motswari far exceeded our expectations. The lodge was amazing, luxurious and so comfortable. The food was insanely delicious. The staff were very friendly, went out of their way to help us obtain items we wanted and our guide and tracker (Eden & Magic) were fantastic and so knowledgeable. They worked hard to make sure we saw the big 5 and more. We even saw rhinos and lions multiple times, and had so much fun tracking leopards off-road, which ended with a beautiful, lengthy viewing of a leopardess prowling through the bush. 100% would recommend and do again.

Cons: Absolutely nothing, everything was great.

Motswari - Magical stay.

Pros: Everything was excellent. The rooms had everything you needed with very comfortable beds. The food was excellent with lots of choices. Our guide and tracker were superb. We saw the big 5 and lots of little things in 2 days. We will definitely return.

Cons: Nothing...all good.

wonderful stay, would recommend

Pros: beautiful decor, open camp looking out to watering hole. rooms and public area are all stunning and feels very immersive, like you are really in the african bush. The staff were all very very welcoming, friendly, chatty, and we got the sense that they really wanted us to enjoy our stay, which we thoroughly did. we also stayed one night in the giraffe’s nest which was very special despite some high winds. Lastly, the food was outstanding sing. home cooked delicious african cuisine, presented with pride and care.

Cons: amenities could be further improved. It unfortunately rained for the majority of our trip and so a few board games, magazines, films etc would be good when unable to laze by the pool

The best honeymoon safari experience!

Pros: First and foremost the staff were just incredible! Our guides Josh and Difference really made the trip and showed us soo much wildlife. The hotel was peaceful and the rooms were unique. You felt well looked after and at the same time completely immersed in the surroundings. We can’t thank everyone there enough

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Fantastic!

Pros: Fantastic! I must first mention the staffs! We felt so so taken care of and they were so friendly and polite and was there to help 24/7! We didn't want to leave this place at all because we felt so spoilt. Our guide Eden and Magic were the most amazing. They were so good at their jobs and we were able to see more than what we expected on our game drive. I hope everyone who stays here gets to experience Eden's and Magic's knowledge and gets to go on game drives with them. Please request for them I am sure you won't regret it. Next up is the f&b team! Special mentions to Timothy, Craven, Noah, Elizabeth (the head chef) for looking after all our dietary requirements. I ate so well! Lunches were so wholesome and so earthy and good for the soul! The housekeeping did an amazing job at cleaning our rooms TWICE day! I cannot recommend this place enough. I didn't want to leave and could've easily stayed another week. It was just so relaxing.

Loved every minute of it didn’t want to leave, if you get the chance to go then go you won’t be disappointed

Pros: Eden and Magic were Brilliant learnt so much and laughed so much too saw the big 5 and so much more saw lions hyenas and leopards with kills even saw an Aardvark best Holiday ever , every single member of staff was brilliant , Rooms lovely food outstanding,lucky to have shared our time with lovely people too

Cons: Everything was perfect, exceeded out expectations
