The region is easily accessible by road or airline with a short road transfer. Motswari is ideal for families, small groups or singles to enjoy the wildlife-rich landscape, on foot, from open 4x4 safari vehicles or from the many viewpoints the lodges offer.

With its fantastic personnel, this family-owned authentic safari lodge prides itself on personal attention and privacy. For those preferring a more intimate setting, why not try Motswari's smaller sister property, Geiger's Camp Timbavati, for private bookings of up to eight?
