Hotels in South Africa

The whole experience was magical, and one we will remember for the rest of our lives. We were blown away by the efforts made by Danielle in hosting us, from the amazing home cooked food in such a beautiful setting to making sure we had clean rooms, new towels, and made beds to return to every morning. As for the safari, it is difficult to find the words to describe how amazing this was. We really appreciated JP sharing his experiences and knowledge of the animals and his patience in answering our many questions. There is nothing like seeing an elephant with its baby walk right past you or a lion so full after a kill that it can barely move. In the end, we saw zebras, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, impala, rare wild dogs, and many other animals and birds. We already miss our coffee by the river as the sun comes up...it was perfect in every way.

Everything was good and we felt great about the hotel Restaurant was awesome Workers there so nice and they treated us like family Thank you for this amazing experience we had

Top quality, Esme a pleasure to deal with. Delighted with our stay. Pool is very small but absolutely perfect other than that.

The breakfast was phenomenal. Fruit and muesli and hot breakfast was offered. Staff were very attentive and very professional and friendly. The view over the lagoon is breathtaking. The dining room is warm with lit fires all day and night.

Beautiful grounds, amenities, rooms and dining options. Nice option to cycle around the vineyards

Breakfast was better than amazing. Room was great

We spent 2 nights in Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful food, service, exclusivity and personal attention. Our ranger, Marius was exceptional and made every game drive and our walking safari unforgettable. His trackers, Elvis and Misha was just as amazing with their knowledge of the animals and the bush. We saw 3 of the 5 "big five" in just 1.5 days of being there, thanks to these guys. The food and service at the lodge was beyond our expectations in every way. I was a vegetarian and they catered for me with exceptional skill and charm. The food was really outstanding, thank you Glenda and team! Our other hosts, Desmond and MJ looked after every detail and made our stay wonderful. Our room was large, luxurious and comfortable. We each had a great massage too (thank you Lerato), in a space where you can watch giraffes walk by... The setting of this private lodge is amazing, you overlook a river with giraffes and elephants walking by. We even had a hyena come close to us while sitting around the camp fire - so special. This was a once in a life time experience and we hope to be back again soon!

charming hotel, friendly and helpful staff, great view onto the entire city, very tasty food;

We loved this amazing Safari lodge! Warren and his team were super friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay special. We loved the safari drives and the bush walk is a must do! We saw all of the big 5 plus so many more beautiful animals and birds. Warren's knowledge of everything in the park is astonishing and we loved learning about the history of the area and South Africa in general from him. The property is stunning and we especially loved eating/relaxing on the deck watching the many animals pass by.

We loved our stay at Adara! The property is beautiful, and everybody was amazing! We were able to arrange a massage in the room that they upgraded for our stay. We had access to our own pool. It was quiet, peaceful. The bed was so comfortable! Amenities and tv set ups all very modern. Decor is tasteful. The restaurant was also great, food was delicious, paired with local wine. I would love to come back again!

I liked pretty much everything. The hosts are very friendly, the breakfast is amazing, the view is great, and it is just fun to explore the area. Sheryl and Allan, thank you for the lovely breakfast and the visit recommendations. I went to the small bookshop and bought a book and most importantly: one of those lovely honey jams. I was so happy about it and intended to take it back home with me. Unfortunately, at my next stop, the baboons stole my honey. It sounds funny, but I was indeed pissed off, hahaha. I look forward to coming back, and next time I'll buy 2X honeys, and no one is going to steal them.

The staff are amazing. The breakfast is amazing, with homemade bread and beautifully presented dishes. The bed is super comfortable, the shower is great. Everything was perfect.
