Our Site Visit of the Village Lodge at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve

Perfect for a family getaway or large groups! 👌

The Village Lodge offers such a homey feel, cosy for ultimate relaxation and wide-open spaces which is especially perfect for the little ones to run around 🤩

A big bonus for the kids is the awesome kids centre with a caretaker on site plus the massive jungle gym area, rock climbing wall and sand pits! 👏😁

All situated right in front of the Village Lodge on-site restaurant so that the parents can unwind with a wonderful meal and delicious drinks while the kids have their fun😌🥗🍹

The rooms are all lovingly restored farmhouses that reflect the charm of a true bush getaway, yet still offering luxury and ultimate comfort. 👌

The views surrounding the lodge expand across parts of the reserve, with some animal sightings of Zebra, Wildebeest, Springbucks and other wild buck available from the pool area and grassy field between the rooms 🦓

The Village Lodge is more than just a place to stay – it's an opportunity to reconnect with nature, create special memories and experience the beauty of the African bush 👌🥰

If the Garden Route is on your travel bucket list, be sure to add Botlierskop Private Game Reserve!

📩 Contact us to include this beautiful Safari destination in your next Stay & Play Package.

Let us take care of the details while you enjoy the experience!

Thank you once again to Botlierskop and team for having us ☺️

Our site Visit of the Luxury Tented Lodge at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve

We took a beautiful drive from the Village Lodge, through the reserve and met a tower of giraffes along the way which made the drive super special 🥹🦒

As we arrived to the Tented Lodge our first impression - STUNNING! 🤩

From the views surrounding the lodge, the entrance, the decor to the inside of the main restaurant building - absolutely stunning. Luxury is seen and felt throughout! 👌👌

The rooms carried the same quality of luxury and left us repeating the same word with each corner passed 'WOW' 😮😍

Attention to detail, pristine finishes and maintenance done with care was clear to see in every room 👏

We then moved on through to the Fijnebos Spa and Gym area - which emanated a relaxed, calming and fresh atmosphere 🧖‍♀️🧖‍♂️✨

A feeling of never wanting to leave! 🤩

This incredible facility offers an indoor heated pool & outdoor cold pool, a sauna & steam room, Hammam (bath house) & Rasul (mud and steam cleansing). & their simple yet efficient 24-hour gym which is exclusively for Tented Lodge guests also offers secure locker rooms & cocoon room.

After the visit to the Spa, we went to visit their horse stables where they handle bookings and care for the horses used on Horseback Safari - just another awesome experience to add to your bucket list of to-dos at Botlierskop. 🐎🌳

To end off the site visit we took a tour around their special Day Visitor Centre which was buzzing at the time. A clear indication of how popular this unique establishment is and how it is appreciated by day visitors! 🤩

Day 2 experiencing Botlierskop Private Game Reserve 🦁

We woke up to a lovely rainy morning! 🌧️

Our family decided to stay in and miss the early morning game drive to take a slow morning to embrace some family time. The peaceful atmosphere was too good not to enjoy! 🥰

Once we arrived at breakfast we were met with amazing smells, creating a joyous atmosphere of guests ready to enjoy the day 🤩🍳

The buffet table of fruit, cheese, col-meats, cereals and an array of bread and condiments was beautifully displayed. Everything fresh and delicious! 🍓🤤

After breakfast we decided to enjoy the family area, our son played on the playground and made some friends while Mom and Dad relaxed 😌👌

Before we knew it, it was time to enjoy lunch before preparing for our last Game Drive of the weekend and we were very excited since our Guide was on a mission to complete the sightings of the Big 5 members 😁

Our Guide did not disappoint us! We enjoyed sightings of the Buffalo and Rhino - completing the family of the Big 5 🐃🦏

We were also treated to sightings of Wildebeest, Zebra and Hippos, ending off with a special sighting of the Lioness relaxing in the bush while digesting her hard-working earned dinner. A truly special experience! 👏🤩

We arrived back for dinner and once again treated to another amazing meal. The food the entire weekend was mind-blowing. Flavours out of this world! 😍

The chefs really showed their passion in each dish 👌

To sum it all up - the weekend was incredible!! The Lodges quality standard was kept throughout the stay. A special time we will always remember as a family, making memories that will always make us smile and to top it all off, the staff really added so much value to the entire weekend👏🥰🤩

It is without a doubt that we will encourage Golf in the Garden Route clients to enjoy and experience this incredible Game Reserve and lodge.

A worthwhile Safari addition to any Stay & Play package in the Garden Route 👌

Thank you to Botlierskop and team for taking such good care of us! ☺️🙏

One member of our team and their family had the privilege of experiencing Botlierskop Private Game Reserve recently, home to the Big 5 just outside Mossel Bay, in the Garden Route☺️

While visiting we also had an opportunity to do a full site visit at their Tented Lodge and Village Lodge 👌

Here is a summary of their visit...

> Day 1

Where to begin!! 🤩

From the moment we arrived at Botlierskop Village Lodge we were greeted with smiles and warmth from the team. Our family was welcomed with open arms and well guided on the property and the planned itinerary for the next few days😁

It was a jammed packed few days ahead filled with Game Drives, delicious meals and a super fun spaces for our son to play! 😋

Day 1 started with a scrumptious lunch after checking in, we got settled in our beautiful room and then prepared for the first afternoon game drive 🍽️ 🐘

Fun was had! Our Guide was very knowledgeable about the reserve and animals; he always made sure we were comfortable and updated us with every opportunity for possible sightings of the animals! 👏

On the game drive we were blessed to see three of the Big 5 members, the Cheetah, Elephant and Lion - along with a lone traveling Giraffe, some Waterbuck and an Eland. 😍

The animals are in such great condition, roaming free and loving the vast natural landscapes 🐆🦓🦁🐘

Our Guide took us to a special viewing spot overlooking the prominent rock formation of which the reserve is named after, Botlierskop. We enjoyed some snacks and refreshments while appreciating the surroundings ⛰️🌿

Once we arrived back from the 3-Hour Game Drive, we were greeted with a warm towel to refresh us and a delicious cup of hot-chocolate. A pleasant surprise! 🤩

We then enjoyed a beautiful dinner, a perfect ending to our first day! 😌😌
