About this itinerary.

This 5-Day Safari at Motswari Game Lodge

This enchanting journey takes you into the heart of the African wilderness at the Motswari Game Lodge in the Timbavati Game Reserve.

Day 1: Arrival at Motswari Game Lodge

Your adventure begins with a flight from OR Tambo Airport to Hoedspruit Airport. Upon landing, you'll be greeted and transferred to the Motswari Game Lodge, nestled in the heart of the Timbavati Game Reserve. Check into your luxury suite and take in the stunning natural beauty surrounding you.

Later, embark on your first game drive to explore the rich wildlife of the reserve. After the drive, enjoy a delightful dinner at the lodge, where you can expect delicious meals and a selection of beverages.

Day 2-4: Immersive Safari Experience

Spend the next three days fully immersed in the African bush. Each day will begin with an early morning game drive, a perfect opportunity to see the animals in their most active state. After the drive, return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast.

You'll have some leisure time to relax and enjoy the lodge's amenities or simply soak up the tranquil environment. Lunch will be served at the lodge, followed by an afternoon game drive to witness more of Timbavati's diverse wildlife and perhaps catch sight of the elusive Big Five.

Evenings at Motswari are for relaxation and reflection, with sumptuous dinners and peaceful nights under the African sky.

Day 5: Departure

On your final day, after a last morning game drive and breakfast, you'll have time to pack up and savor the last moments of your safari experience.

A scheduled transfer will take you back to Hoedspruit Airport for your return flight to OR Tambo Airport. As you depart, you'll carry with you memories of an unforgettable safari experience at Motswari Game Lodge, filled with wildlife encounters, luxurious comfort, and the serene beauty of the African wilderness.
