This odd shaped “koppie” is a landmark in the area. In the late 1700’s Mossel Bay was developed as a busy export harbour for wool, ochre and ostrich feathers. According to legend, the “koppie” on the Botlierskop game reserve was used as a look-out point. When ships came in, the owner made a huge fire on the top of the “koppie”. This was a sign for the nearby farmers that a ship was coming in so they could get ready to bring fresh supplies to the ships.   Botlierskop Private Game Reserve was bought by Dr Dirk Neethling (now deceased) in 1996. He has been in the game farming industry since 1960 and saw the opportunity to reintroduce wildlife in this part of the Garden Route. After 4 years of recovering from domestic farming the Botlierskop game and safari reserve was ready to open in the year 2000. This allowed visitors to Botlierskop to experience the beautiful Garden Route game lodge and environment as it was – when wild animals still roamed freely. As mentioned earlier, Botlierskop game reserve is today a leader in the field of breeding with the rare black impala. For this very reason the lions are in their own, private camp at Botlierskop and can be viewed on the 4x4 game viewing safari. The gentle giants of the bush are also part of the family at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. The elephants that joined the Botlierskop team are orphans surviving a culling program in the Zambezi Valley.
