Wake up to the distant call of the wild and the golden hues of sunrise filtering through your suite at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. Today is yours to shape — whether you crave rest and relaxation or thrill and discovery, the reserve offers something extraordinary for every kind of explorer.

Join a morning or afternoon game drive with expert rangers tracking the Big Five across pristine landscapes. Or, for something truly special, opt for a horseback safari, feeling the rhythm of the bush beneath you as you move silently among zebra, giraffe, and antelope.

Looking to connect even deeper? Embark on a guided bush walk for an intimate perspective on the flora and fauna, or enjoy a private picnic in the fynbos — a wild, scenic spread set against the backdrop of untouched nature.

Depending on the time of year, you may even have the rare opportunity to participate in a Veterinary Safari — an exclusive behind-the-scenes conservation experience that offers a profound connection to the work of wildlife preservation, unique to Botlierskop.

As dusk settles over the reserve, gather once more at the lodge restaurant for another hearty, fire-lit dinner, paired with fine South African wines and stories from the day. There’s nothing quite like ending the night under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the bush.
