Highlights
Bungalows
Traditional decor reflects South Africa’s vibrant atmosphere while neutral tones set an ambience of classic elegance. Bungalows range from 35 to 45 m² and offer privacy and close proximity to the bushveld. Each one sleeps two guests.
In the evenings, rangers will accompany you between buildings, offering peace of mind and insight into the surroundings.
Giraffe’s Nest
Giraffe’s Nest Hide is an exclusive and private overnight bush experience overlooking the Xanatsi dam. The hide sleeps 2 guests and is situated close to the main lodge yet far enough away that you get a truly authentic overnight bush experience.
These exceptional safari experiences take place in a shared open Land Rover and are led by professional field guides and trackers who share valuable insight into the wild.
As our guest, you will be escorted to the dam shortly before sunset, with our guide detailing the evening ahead before leaving you alone to enjoy the tranquility and privacy of this amazing addition to the Motswari portfolio until the following morning. Drinks and a delicious simple dinner will be provided for you to enjoy.
Indulge in a fresh, buffet-style continental breakfast and a generous selection of cooked meals on the verandah, while taking in the crisp bush air and natural scenery. Animals can often be spotted drinking from the nearby river or walking through the bush. Monkeys are frequent visitors.
