Motswari Private Game Reserve boasts an excellent location in the heart of the South African bush and offers a wonderful safari holiday experience. Thanks to its location deep in the Timbavati Nature Reserve, Motswari offers a diverse range of fauna and flora, ideal for safari enthusiasts to see. Timbavati is located in the Greater Kruger National Park, with the Klaserie and Umbabat Game Reserves on the north, and the Thornybush Game Reserve on the west. There are no fences between the Timbavati and the Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to freely move between the reserves. There are daily scheduled flights to Hoedspruit, which is the closest airport to Motswari. From here it is a 50-minute drive to the lodge at the reserve. Furthermore, guests can also fly to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, which has flights from Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, making it easy to travel to Motswari.

Motswari Private Game Reserve supports a diverse range of species, each fulfilling a particular niche for their survival.

Motswari is a birding paradise, especially from September to May, when numerous migratory species arrive for breeding or to escape the harsh northern winter. There are 400 of the 900 bird species found in southern Africa.

Motswari is best visited during the dry winter months of May to September. As rivers and waterholes become gathering places for animals, wildlife viewing is spectacular. As the dry season progresses, the wildlife viewing improves and this, combined with the warmer weather, makes September an ideal time to visit.

Guests can enjoy guided walking safaris, nature walks, bird watching, and early morning and late afternoon game drives—when the wildlife is most active and the scenery is at its most breathtaking.
