We've had the most amazing, relaxing time during our 2 night stay at Botlierskop. Everything about that place is perfect: service, food, staff, view, facilities, accommodation and the list goes on. I will most certainly stay longer than two nights the next time. We were really sad to leave and continuously find ourselves daydreaming about the fantastic time we had.

Everything was first rate including the food. The lunch time menu - chicken breast with fig's was the best chicken I have ever eaten in my life. The... More

We recently visited this game park as part of our first trip to South Africa. All I can say is "what a place!" Obviously this is not a national park, but as an introduction to the safari experience this was fantastic. We saw all the animals we wanted to see and some at very close range. We even had rhinos...

Executive tent amazing. Away from lodge and most tents, feels like we... More

We could only spend one night at Botlierskop due to the high demand over weekends :) My wife spoiled me for my my birthday and I must say I was a stunning experience. From the champagne on arrival, the luxury tents, game drive and cat walk. The highlight was the catwalk - walking with Lions early on on a Sunday... More

We have returned to this magical place for a second time. Nestled away in the trees, the tented accommodation is luxurious and very comfortable. Showering under the African sky adds excitement to the stay. The staff are all friendly and always willing to assist with a smile. The unique dinner buffet is highly recommended. Thank you for an unbelievable experience... More
