Botlierskop Private Game Reserve

Amazing private reserve. The attention to detail is everywhere. Pity they don’t do the game barbecue in the evenings though…

This is our 3rd visit to Botlierskop and it keeps getting better! This year, we stayed in their new superior luxury tents and the quality of everything was top-notch. Everything is of the highest quality and tastefully put together. I honestly struggled to leave the room- I could have stayed there for days, staring out of the window at the passing game. We had a most EXCELLENT ranger, Alex, who was extremely knowledgeable and capable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and learnt so much. Our room attendants did an absolutely sterling job of keeping the rooms spotless; all of the staff in the restaurant were always positive, polite and attentive (we dealt mostly with Kristin, who was assigned to us). We didn’t come across a single member of staff who wasn’t welcoming and helpful. It’s clear that the staff are happy doing their jobs; it makes for a very positive stay. We were fortunate to see pretty much everything the reserve has to offer… It’s also good that nothing is GUARANTEED (we weren’t looking for a zoo experience ;) but the longer you stay, the better your chances. I also had an excellent massage and Darren took my husband and son on their very 1st game horse riding experience. They loved it too! I wouldn’t hesitate to return and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute; highly recommended an accessible and brilliant stay.

5 star ALL the way. This is an exceptional establishment. World class restaurant. Superb staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our game drive hosted by thee BEST ranger that we have ever had the pleasure of meeting Nyasha. Nyasha was VERY knowledgeable. He went out of his way to find animals for our viewing pleasure. Excellent! A must do on your trip itinerary! The vehicles are the MOST comfortable game drive vehicles that we have ever been in with blankets, cushioned seats and seat belts. The drive is thrilling and gives an African massage. Thank You for such a wonderful experience.
