Your Experience

Botlierskop Private Game Reserve lies between the Outeniqua Mountains and the east coast of South Africa. Only 30 minutes’ drive from George Airport in the Western Cape, this hearty slice of wilderness paradise is easily accessible.

It is also ideally situated along the scenic Garden Route, so if you are up for a road trip from Cape Town, one of your highlights will be your journey getting there. After recovering from years of domestic farming, Botlierskop opened in 2000, with an abundance of wild animals roaming freely, just as they once did before man interfered. Here, you can see lions, zebra, elephants, buffalo, giraffe and various species of antelope.

It’s not just in the Kruger that you can experience big game in South Africa! At this Garden Route game lodge, 4x4 game drives and guided walks provide an opportunity to really immerse yourself within nature. Led by experienced ranger guides, this is your chance to connect, to learn and to appreciate the natural world.

You can even experience a horse riding safari, try some canoeing up the Moordkuil River, or play a round of tennis. There is also fishing (catch-and-release), picnicking, and above all else, relaxing. The onsite bush spa is ideal for couples and honeymooners who won't say no to a little pampering and rejuvenation. As for the accommodation, you have a choice of luxury tented suites, manor houses, self-catering and family-friendly options for the whole family.
