    This is an "eco-camp" so facilities are fairly basic but completely adequate. Setting is wonderful with views over a waterhole from the sitting room and a remote tree-house that can be used for the night. Great staff and plenty of animals - highly recommended if you really want to see game rather than enjoy a luxury bush stay.

    Motswari is on the border between the Umbabat and the Timbavati. The game sightings vary depending on where you are, for example in thick Mopane you will see Elephant and on the grassy plains you will see plains-game. The diversity gives you a choice for each and every game drive. This is a good place for game diversity.

    Highly recommend! Incredible staff and location.

    Highly recommend! Incredible staff and location. Luxurious with relative privacy (only three bungalows on site). Our game drives were unforgettable - so much incredible wildlife! Would recommend staying at least 3 nights, if possible. Four nights was perfect for us.

    The stay at the Motswari Hotel was amazing! We had the guide and tracker Sean and Brian and they made us live a just exceptional adventure. Very professional, with a good mood it was great! If you come to Motswari ask for these guides you will not be disappointed! The food was excellent, and the kitchen and room staff were just perfect! The cleaning is done several times a day. It was just perfect thank you very much!

    This was our first safari experience and Geiger’s made it unforgettable. Our stay was magical. We saw so many animals including the big 5 and wild dogs. Every game drive we saw something new. Our room at Camp was big and nice and the hotel has a nice African safari feel and decor. It’s only 4 rooms which creates a nice intimate feel where you get to know the other people on safari with you.

    Staff worked so hard to make our stay special. Exceptionally friendly. Great food. Clean and peaceful. GY and Happy made our game drives extra special, they worked so hard to find us the big five and were so knowledgeable. Easy to spot animals. Children did a pizza making lesson onsite and enjoyed board games. Spa was also great. We highly recommend staying at Simbavati River Lodge.

    The drives were exceptional, the tent is very well built, big bathroom. The meals were very tasteful. The Road is unpaved but if you go very slow you can reach the hotel with a normal car. The staff is very polite and helpful.

    We absolutely loved simbavati river lodge and could not imagine a better safari experience for our family of 4. Special shoutout to our fantastic guide CJ for incredible sightings including the elusive white lion.
