The wildlife felt a little more like a safari park (Longleat) than other private reserves I have been too, and also the spa had recently burned down. It certainly caters for the 'volume' end of the market with very large numbers of day visitors possible which detracts from the feeling of isolation. Breakfast and lunch were excellent but the dinner menu was more disappointing sadly.

The most incredible location located on a hill above the river which affords incredible views from the bar / dining area and the rooms alike. Rooms are newly refurbished with some of the best bath / shower views I've seen in a long time.

This place is a dream. We booked the deluxe tented suite and it did not disappoint. The outdoor shower, balcony, fireplace, bed, layout, everything was perfect. The game drives were amazing and we saw 4 out of the big 5 in 2 days!!! The massages were absolutely incredible. Thanks to Collen for looking after us and Mandela for the informative and entertaining game drives. Angelique and Maria at the Spa were amazing. The staff are amazing and make your stay very comfortable.

Being a bit elderly, some steps to get into the game drive vehicles would have been helpful. We were fortunate tgat we were at the tpp of the hill butbour friends accomodation no,11 was at the bottom. Some warning of the steepness on the website might be appreciated.

Everything was great our guide Mandela was very knowledgable and took us to amazing places to see the animals

My room was far, and when i call to ask for a golf car the answer was its not for guests just for the luggage, the person answerd me was rude, The water pressure in the bathroom was a little bit low Next time I will book a trip without an accommodation.

The Safari trip was nice , not that much animals to see, if you book a trip make sure to your guide is Simba 🫶🫶 Also i would like to thanks for the free room upgrade ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was a bit pricy considering everything need to bay for but was a good experience.

I had one night in the suite for our honey moon which was cool. I had a safari trip in the afternoon and saw 3 out of the big 5 animals. The next day I went on the horse ride safari both were extra charge which I enjoyed alot. The foods were good ,and staff were helpful.

Our room was amazing , if available I would book it again. It was Room 5, (7 also very good.) We had a daily visit from monkeys on our veranda. The game drive was brilliant with a very knowledgeable guide. The food also very good at Botlierskop.

I get stuck on the lion space and they didn’t come for rescue for one hour.

It was a fantastic place, great safari, great staff, amazing experience.

Stayed in July 2023

It was raining before going to the game drive and we couldn’t see more animals and the hotel shouldn’t have us to go on drive while they know that animals normally hide because of rain

The tent was just in front of the forest where you can see Impalas and elephants and there is outdoor shower

Nothing at all.

The room was amazing and the views were spectacular. We went for the game drive and was able to spot 4 of the big five. The staff were all so warm, friendly and welcoming, which probably indicates how valued they feel as employees of the reserve. Highly recommend this!

This was our first stay on a game reserve and the 'tent' we stayed in was vast, luxurious and opulent. From the wood burner to the rain showers and stone basins, the large windows overlooking the reserve it was perfect. We went on two game drives, hosted by Kai who is a font of knowledge. We saw a range of wildlife, elephants, rhinos, lions, cheetahs, impalas, hippos to name but a few. Not only did Kai educate us with facts and figures about the animals on the reserve, he also served a great G&T sun downer and unforgettable hot chocolate and Amarillo combo on the early morning drive.
