"Lovely glamping; it was very cold during our stay, no heat in tent and only 1 of 4 electric blankets worked/could be plugged in. Does smell of cow from neighboring livestock farm - including in the water (both tap and provided filtered). Great views and positive family experience "

"We were in the tent and it was super comfortable! The area is amazing. The owners are very welcoming and the meals are outstanding. No complaints!! Pity we only stayed overnight!"

"Gondwana offers a fantastic experience for anyone looking for a short Safari within the confines of a private game concession. There is a diverse array of animals to view in amongst beautiful scenery despite being close to Mossel Bay.
Our accommodation went way beyond our expectations - a huge 3 bedroom lodge all to ourselves. We loved the 15+ minute self drive to get there!
The food at Gondwana is nothing like you get on a typical safari - it’s more like a 5* hotel experience with so much...

"Very nice accommodation, we had a really big room with a bathtub. The guest house is roughly 5 min away from the main road, the road to the guest house is not the best but you can drive it with a normal car. A restaurant is near by the guesthouse."

"Teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen, gerade der leisure Bereich mit gym und pool, welche einen sehr schlechten Eindruck machen.
Die Suite ist jedoch schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet"

Botlierskop Private Game Reserve
10/10 Excellent
"I’ve stayed in many beautiful hotels around the world, but Botlierskop is, without question, the best hotel I’ve ever experienced. Booked 1 night, stayed 2 - best decision we made. One night isn't enough! We don’t often return to the same place, but we’ll definitely be back. The setting, the people, the service, the wildlife — it all came together to create a truly unforgettable stay. We stayed in a deluxe tent, which was stunning and incrediblycomfortable. The spa was equally impressive. What really sets this reserve apart is the attention to detail and level of service. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely passionate. Huge thanks to the lovely reception team, the knowledgeable and funny sommelier, our amazing guides (especially Kali on our game drive and Victor for horse riding), and Jeclan the porter, who made us feel so welcome. We also had another wonderful guide on our morning game drive, extremely knowledgeable, though we sadly missed his name. The reserve is huge, spanning two valleys, and unlike other reserves, all animals live in the same natural environment. Animals roam freely, just as they would in the wild. The commitment to conservation is clear — from maintaining ecological balance to protecting endangered specie. You can feel that wildlife and nature come first here. We even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of horse riding beside giraffes. We highly recommend doing both the morning and evening game drives — each offers something unique. "

In summary we had an excellent experience

"This was the most beautiful hotel we’ve stayed at in a long time. We are frequent travellers and we stayed in some lovely hotels in South Africa but this was most definitely the top.
The rooms were stunning as was the whole hotel.
The service was excellent and friendly.
Perfect stay! "
