Botlierskop Private Game Reserve  

Set on a sprawling game reserve between Mossel Bay and George, beside the Klein Brak River and about 15 km from Mossel Bay town center. The lodge sits minutes from Diaz Beach and Hartenbos seafront and fronts thousands of hectares of mountains and grasslands for true safari seclusion.

Stay in luxury riverbank tented suites and manor rooms dressed in a romantic colonial vibe — think four-poster beds with mosquito nets and deep oval baths. Many tents have open-air bush showers and private balconies with valley or river views. The Fijnebos Spa perches on the riverbank, and evenings can be spent by one of the fireplaces or at the Fireplace Restaurant. Expect guided game drives, horseback safaris, elephant rides and feedings, walking with lions, bush walks, luxury picnics and fishing amid over 26 species of mammals and 200+ bird species.

Two outdoor pools, a riverside spa, fitness centre, sauna, steam room and massage facilities. Library and picnic areas, concierge and parking on site. Shuttle and airport transfers available for a surcharge — wake up to river-breeze mornings and valley views.

Business centre and conference hall available for meetings. Wi‑Fi is provided and there is luggage storage and concierge support for events.

Two on-site restaurants including the cozy Fireplace Restaurant and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Complimentary buffet breakfast is served from 7:30 to 11:00, and menus feature local flavours for a true South African taste.
