Botlierskop Private Game Reserve

On a riverbank between Mossel Bay and George, nestled inside the Botlierskop Private Game Reserve near Klein Brak River. About 15 km from Mossel Bay town center and a short drive to Diaz Beach, this luxury tented lodge sits on a vast game reserve with easy access to coastal sights. Family-friendly and wildlife-focused, it’s a nature-first escape with stylish accommodations.

Rooms range across luxury tented suites and a manor house, roughly 24 rooms in total. Interiors follow a romantic colonial theme with four-poster beds draped in mosquito nets, air conditioning, minibars and private balconies in some rooms. En-suite bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and outdoor or open‑air bush showers for sweeping river and valley views.

Wake up to riverbank mornings and unwind at the Fijnebos Spa, or relax by one of the outdoor pools with valley views. The reserve offers guided game drives, elephant-back rides and feedings, horseback safaris, bush walks, veterinary safaris, fishing and luxury picnics — plus cozy evenings at the Fireplace Restaurant and two fireplaces on site. Other on-site perks include a massage room, sauna, steam bath, library, picnic area, playroom for kids, tour desk, parking and concierge services.

Conference hall and a business center are available for meetings and events. Wi‑Fi is offered across the property, with luggage storage, dry cleaning and an airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Two on-site restaurants serve local cuisine and classic lodge fare, anchored by the cozy Fireplace Restaurant. A bar/lounge rounds out the evenings, and buffet breakfasts are offered each morning. Opt for a luxury picnic for dining out in the bush.
