As its name suggests, Motswiri Private Safari Lodge is an exclusive
lodge offering guests a personal bush experience, which is impossible
to replicate in larger concerns. The lodge offer some of the best views
in Madikwe as well as the tranquil feel given by the mature trees
(mostly Leadwoods) under which the lodge’s main building and
five luxury bush villas nestle.
Motswiri has luxurious accommodation, with each bush villa offering
stunning views from private decks and multiple-slider bedrooms and
bathrooms. Add double-sided fire places, air-conditioning/ ceiling
fans, stunning bathrooms and an outdoor shower and you have a bush
experience second to none. Then our Family Villa offer three rooms all
with en-suite bathrooms. The Luxury Family villa boasts a private
lounge area leading out onto a private deck and pool.
At the main area of the lodge enjoy the rim-flow pool overlooking the
waterhole, have a cocktail under the shade of the Motswiri trees
(Leadwood in Tswana) on the main deck or just while away the day in the
outside lounge and bar area. Fine cuisine is served in the dining room,
under the Leadwood or around a roaring fire in the boma.
Staff offer personal service in a relaxed but professional manner and
the twice daily game drives are conducted by our rangers whose superb
bush knowledge is imparted in the manner best suited to the bush
knowledge of the guests on the specially designed landcruiser game
viewing vehicle.
Motswiri offers the option of individual bookings or exclusive use of
the lodge for groups. The lodge is ideal for corporate, family / friend
groups of up to ten people who do not wish to share the facilities with
other guests.
Motswiri is a mere 3-1⁄2 hours drive from Johannesburg or for
utter indulgence, guests can opt for a fly-in safari to the reserves
all weather airstrip.
Scheduled daily charters are available via the Federal Air Madikwe
Charter Joint Venture Partnership. Lodge tariffs include luxury
accommodation, two fabulous game drives per day and all meals.
