Such a warm welcome from the very first moment. Excellent accommodation, outstanding range of wildlife and excellent food. Wonderful breakfast on the balcony overlooking elephants at the watering hole. Could not be more perfect. Ranger, Rayno, was so professional and with such great expertise. Made the whole experience simply perfect. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for a great stay.

Excellent location and cleanliness, amazing staff and attention to detail is spot on with everything taken care off.

Amazing experience. Daniel gave us some fantastic ideas for hiking trails. There is no plastic visible in the facility ! We appreciate the water glass bottles a lot!

We stayed 4 nights and everything about the stay was an absolute dream, only made possible by the team at Ivory Wilderness. Each excursion felt unique and Shane and Warren are clearly so passionate and knowledgeable, making every sighting big or small an incredible experience. The location on the river is beautiful and very peaceful and meals were varied and delicious.

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!

Serene place, staff was so helpful. Will definitely come back

The hotel was spectacular - the location, room, service, and staff. We went to Paternoster as part of our honeymoon and Strandloper was the perfect choice, and we were well looked after by the amazing staff. I highly recommend the picnic on the beach, and the walk around the Paternoster with the recommended guide.

Beautiful house in a strategic area. Nice pool, wonderful breakfast. The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. Attention to any detail as if it was a 5 star hotel. We really liked it and wish to go back soon.

The rooms are clean and very exceptionally to a very high standard. 👌. The rooms are very comfortable and the bed is very good. The microwave a very needed addition because not many shops remain open at night and after a night out. They give you remote gate keys for late coming and going out at night.

Everything. The view is incredible. The facilities are great, really subtle and classy. An amazing collection of books that will keep you entertained for hours. The gardens are really pretty. The food delicious and the service friendly and helpful. We felt really taken care of.

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.

Gorgeous location and facilities, friendly and helpful staff, historical building, beautiful garden
