Daily early morning and evening game drives in open safari vehicles are included, as well as a guided bush walk after breakfast. The 4-wheel drive vehicles enable the rangers to drive off-road and provide guests with up-close game viewing and great photographic opportunities.

Delight in superb cuisine under African skies in the boma (reeded enclosure) or perhaps at a scenic spot out in the bush. All meals, teas and coffees are included at Motswari.


Motswari is truly one of the original hidden treasures of the Timbavati Game Reserve. Your hosts Kathy and Steve would love to share the magic of this bushveld paradise with you, and are passionate about making your safari an unforgettable experience.

 


"I visited Motswari in January which was very efficiently arranged for me by Bronwyn from Wild Wings. I was there for 2 days plus an afternoon and an early morning drive and I had a great time. Our guide was really good and he made every effort to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. We saw most of the animals; the highlight for me (I think - so many to choose from) was seeing a leopard and her two babies. I have been to Kruger a couple of years ago, when I have the opportunity to go back again I will go to Motswari - no hesitation."
