Deep within the Timbavati Nature Reserve lies Motswari Private Game Reserve.  As part of the Greater Kruger National Park Conservancy and traversing close on 150 square kilometres of pristine habitat, Motswari offers visitors the best of Africa; wide horizons, untamed wilderness and plentiful game in its' natural habitat.

In 1981, German-born businessman, Paul Geiger, purchased property alongside Motswari as a family retreat.  Seeing the innate potential of Motswari, Paul later acquired equity in the lodge and ultimately sole ownership.  Since then, the Geiger's have run the lodge as a family business, imbuing it with a friendly, family ambience, where guests arrive as visitors and leave as friends.

Motswari prides itself on its' sumptuous, home-style cuisine; luxurious thatched accommodation and friendly attentive service, where guests are assured of a truly unique experience.  All 15 luxury bungalows are air-conditioned, have en-suite bathrooms and mosquito proofing ensuring maximum comfort during your stay.
