What people say

We liked the ethos of Motswari, relating to sense of responsibility towards staff development. A perfect level of comfort, and delicious food. Our guide was knowledgeable, and our game drives were exciting and enjoyable. Luxury accommodation. Helpful and friendly staff. Meals very good. We came to meet Chad Cocking for his absolute genius with a camera. The price of the accommodation is not affordable for the majority of South Africans.
