With the magnificent Outeniqua Mountains as a backdrop and sweeping views out over the glistening Indian Ocean below, lies Botlierskop Private Game Reserve.
It is just 4.5 hours drive from Cape Town, it’s midway between Mossel Bay and George, on South Africa’s scenic Garden Route.
Come and share the bounty and breathtaking beauty this 4,200-hectare reserve has to offer.
This gracious family-owned and privately-operated game reserve is malaria-free and home to four of the Big 5 (lion, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) as well as cheetahs and a host of antelope, including rare black impala, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, hippo and more.
Botlierskop Private Game Reserve will ensure you enjoy a uniquely South African Safari Experience, with a range of luxury accommodations from luxury tented lodges and stately manor suites to spectacular, luxury self-catering bush villas and an entire village built with children in mind.
Where luxury, privacy, and wildlife meet …
Lay your head on a pillow cloud and drift off to the distant sounds of lions roaring. Or hippos grunting, seemingly outside your expansive windows. Tucked away in a remote northern corner of this fynbos rich 4,200 ha Private Reserve, with access to Villas via Great Brak River, most of the beautiful luxury Bush Villas overlook an expansive, active waterhole frequented by wildlife visitors of many kinds. The Bush Villas are packed with all the luxury touches one could ask for including en-suite bathrooms complete with guest amenities, bathrobes, and slippers, a fully–equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, dining area, air-conditioned lounge with a TV, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and most Villas have a private plunge pool.
