Botlierskop Private Game Reserve

Great game drive. We came as day visitors. Had awesome views on the lions, rhinos, giraffes, elephants and water buffalos. Very motivated guide! Can only recommend it.

We absolutely loved Botlierskop. My wife, daughter, and I stayed in the Village Lodge last week for a 3 day, 2 night safari, and we were honestly sad to leave so soon. The Village Lodge staff was so friendly and accommodating. The property was perfect with families, with several playgrounds, a pool, and a hot tub. The rooms were well designed and comfortable. The food and drink were so so good and had quite a variety of options. Our game drives were so much fun, and we saw so much action. If you're lucky enough, you'll get Kevin as your guide and he was so passionate, friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He did everything he could to make sure we could find "the action", and knew every corner of the reserve! We've been raving about the place to our friends and family, and hope to make another visit from the United States within the next few years!

We spent four nights here for our honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience! This place truly deserves five stars—we felt so well cared for throughout our stay. We enjoyed a relaxing massage at the spa and had an amazing time horseback riding. A special bonus was having Silas as our ranger; he was absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be returning!

One of the best Game Drive i witnessed in South Africa along with the amazing host who patiently explained us all the details about the animals present there. We could find a lot of animals freely wandering in the forests. One of the best places to expeinece truly African safari.

The rooms and the views are amazing. The game drives always have something different going on and our guide was amazing. There's a great area for kids to play and feel safe. The food, particularly the desserts, is amazing. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble

Booked the 1pm 3 hour game drive for around 650R each. Was an amazing bargain! The resort is beautiful and the vehicle clean and well maintained. The reserve is absolutely huge and we saw tons of animals in a very natural habitat. Do not hesitate to book this adventure!

Absolutely unbelievable experience. Just completed a two night full board experience including game drives and from arrival to check out everything has been perfect. The highlight of course has to be the game drives which were led by a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic ranger Alex. I don’t believe we were simply fortunate to see everything we wanted to including the 4 onsite big game, it was more about his knowledge and experience. Room and view were superb, food quality was excellent and staff (with no exception) were very friendly and helpful. A truly wonderful experience and highly recommended. An additional comment when deciding on a game reserve; Botlierskop do not confine particular animals to certain areas, they are all allowed to roam freely within the confines of the reserve leaving nature take its cause.

The safari was definitely a 5-star experience! We did a day safari at midday and had a wonderful trip. The animals have a vast area, and we drove around for about 3 hours. It was not only a great drive, but we also saw many animals from a safe distance. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating facts with us. He even knew some of the animals by name and told stories about them, which made the experience even more enriching. It’s clear that animal welfare is at the heart of this reserve. The animals are not fed by humans and live in their natural habitat. A truly wonderful experience and great value for money – I can only highly recommend it!
