The staff were most accommodating and friendly. The food a delight - delicious and beautifully presented. Our ranger, Elliott so knowledgeable and he worked very hard to deliver the Big 5. The accommodation met all our expectations, loved the different towel detail on the beds every day! Weather was tricky but having our fireplaces on after a chilly evening game drive made it home away from home. The game vehicles are in good condition and the blankets on board very welcome. The wifi is very stable in rooms and in common areas.

We spent 3 nights in Motswiri lodge. The staff is very friendly and always smiling. Everything is done to make your stay confortable and unforgettable. Special thank to Elliot, our ranger. he is very kind, professional, available and he really listens to the guests’ expectations. He really goes the extra miles to make the game drives an unforgettable experience. We spotted the leopard for our first time, thanks to his perseverance and tenacity to try to find it. All the family enjoyed it. The food is also very good thanks to a very good chef. We will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you Motswiri team.

It was an amazing stay. Staff was great but they could use one more server/helper during meals so that everyone could get beverages etc. Special shout out to Petunia and our bar man Stoney. Loved being in Family Suite with the two couples. Had a kitchen, making cocktails a breeze. They even made us a fire in our private boma

No wifi our entire stay. Not a problem for us as we had local coverage but others had issues. Detail to maintenance needs improvement. Burned out lights, broken cabinets, squeaky bed and VERY squeaky vehicle. Our guide gave us a once in a lifetime game experience!!! Incredible sightings. That said, our ranger did not provide any information unless asked. Very unusual as they will often give a lot of info while stopped and looking at animals

The staff welcome was excellent The food was always served hot and delicious The front house staff were excellent just seeing wildlife at the lodge waterhole in the evening and morning was great

Rough and rushed game drive taking long time viewing a dead elephant being devoured by hyena the strong smell was repulsive almost made me sick sharing different opinions with the other visitors I suppose levels of sensitivity differs with each person

The lodge is beautiful, in touch with nature all around it. Our lodge had views to the water hole where lots of animals drank water, we could see elephants through our window, it was wonderful. The ranger (Elliot) took us in amazing safari game drives around the park twice a day. The staff is so friendly and helpful, the food is delicious. We totally loved it! Can’t wait to go back

We loved the kindness and availability of the entire staff, which was made also possible by the limited number of villas. All meals were prepared with a high level of care and quality. Our game drives were run by ranger Barry, who always made them fun and informative. The villa was always clean, spacious and comfortable, both in warm and chilly weather. The view on the bush was amazing.

We were return travelers to Motswiri and honestly had the most amazing experience (again!!). It is truly such a beautiful place situated perfectly in Madikwe Game Reserve with amazing staff who just create unforgettable memories. We absolutely loved it and could not recommend it more highly. The safari experience, food and accommodation is just the best !

Nothing!

The beautiful lodge and the fabulous staff. The food was Michelin star like and great presentation. Our tracker, guide Stuart was outstanding with his tracking and hospitality. We saw the Big 5 plus more.

The only issue would be the large 3 bedroom cottage could have used some updating.

It was an amazing stay at Madikwe. The game drives in the morning and evening were amazing, we had a very skilled ranger who knew a lot and saw a lot of animals. The rooms were spacious and clean and at the waterhole there were always animals to watch. The staff was so friendly and helpful, food was also delicious. I can warmy recommend going there, I will surely return one day.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

This was the first time my wife and I visited Madikwe. It's about 4 hours drive from Johannesburg, so not too far. We thoroughly enjoyed the hospital at Motswiri Private Safari Lodge, received a warm welcome, daily morning and afternoon game drives, full board with a very attentive chef catering for guests' requirements, air conditioning and gas fireplace for the cold winter nights. Close encounters with elephants, wild dogs kill an impala, "walking"/driving with the lions, starry night sky are some of the memorable moments. Kudos to the Motswiri team!

The bed is a bit firm to our liking, there is no shower head/handle in the bathroom. The lighting in the toilet may be a bit too dim.
