The views from the lodge are outstanding, from the viewing deck one looks out over a waterhole onto the surrounding bushveld and out over the Madikwe and into Botswana.

Each suite has air-conditioning, ceiling fan, gas fireplace, beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom with outdoor shower and private wooden decks.

Luxury Family Villa; The Luxury Family Villa is a fully equipped unit that can be booked as a self-catering option or full board option. The villa has three bedrooms all en-suite with air-conditioning, which lead onto a private lounge area, then onto a private deck and pool.

Excellent cuisine is served in the indoor dining room, outside under trees on the main deck, or around a roaring fire in the boma. These locations are seasonal and/or weather dependent.

It is impossible to get hungry at Motswiri; breakfast, brunch, high tea and a 3-course dinner.

The bar area is where one can find cold beers, an excellent wine list and quite a few variates of other alcohol, again the bar area overlooks the waterhole.

Facilities

Enjoy the rim-flow pool overlooking the waterhole; this is where relief from summers scorching heat can be found. The main deck is where one has the chance to sip a cocktail under the shade of the Motswiri trees (Leadwood in Tswana).

All of this overlooks a small yet very active waterhole where the chance of sighting many of Madikwe's wildlife and birdlife is very real.
