We had an amazing time at Motswari. The food was top tier and all of the staff made us feel at home. We saw some very rare animals during our safaris and couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience. The owner and manager of the reserve were also present and very friendly. We would love to come back to Motswari.

Shindzela far exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful and much more of a glamping experience than a camp. The communal dining spaces are beautiful especially the candlelit dinners under the stars. The food was exceptional. Our safari guides Sam and Edward were extremely knowledgeable and we had the closest animal encounters on our Shindzela safaris. Watching the elephants visiting the river bed each day at the campsite is so magical! Would highly recommend Shindzela to anyone wanting an immersive safari experience that is still comfortable and amazing value.

Very friendly and attentive staffs.
Game drives were great; comfortable truck.
Bush stay, nice fire and meals.
Terrace looking over the water hole with animals coming by.
WIFI was slow but good enough to check and send messages.

This is an "eco-camp" so facilities are fairly basic but completely adequate. Setting is wonderful with views over a waterhole from the sitting room and a remote tree-house that can be used for the night. Great staff and plenty of animals - highly recommended if you really want to see game rather than enjoy a luxury bush stay.

Motswari is on the border between the Umbabat and the Timbavati. The game sightings vary depending on where you are, for example in thick Mopane you will see Elephant and on the grassy plains you will see plains-game. The diversity gives you a choice for each and every game drive. This is a good place for game diversity.

Highly recommend! Incredible staff and location.
Highly recommend! Incredible staff and location. Luxurious with relative privacy (only three bungalows on site). Our game drives were unforgettable - so much incredible wildlife! Would recommend staying at least 3 nights, if possible. Four nights was perfect for us.

This was our first safari experience and Geiger’s made it unforgettable. Our stay was magical. We saw so many animals including the big 5 and wild dogs. Every game drive we saw something new. Our room at Camp was big and nice and the hotel has a nice African safari feel and decor. It’s only 4 rooms which creates a nice intimate feel where you get to know the other people on safari with you.
Staff worked so hard to make our stay special. Exceptionally friendly. Great food. Clean and peaceful. GY and Happy made our game drives extra special, they worked so hard to find us the big five and were so knowledgeable. Easy to spot animals. Children did a pizza making lesson onsite and enjoyed board games. Spa was also great. We highly recommend staying at Simbavati River Lodge.
We had an amazing stay at Motswari! The are and the hotel are just perfect! You got everything you need in the hotel and the crew is super friendly and makes always sure you are doing good! We never experienced this kind of service - it’s really amazing! Thank you for making our stay in South Africa unforgettable! You Rock!
We like the most is the game drives. Our driver Paul and tracker Release are simply the best, they put their efforts let us enjoy and appreciated the animals and the nature environment. Plus, this is a very friendly hotel, we like all the staff working there.
The drives were exceptional, the tent is very well built, big bathroom. The meals were very tasteful. The Road is unpaved but if you go very slow you can reach the hotel with a normal car. The staff is very polite and helpful.
