    WiFi connection barely worked in the room. We had been told about this though, so it wasn't a big issue, and ultimately it allowed us to enjoy our trip and surroundings even more.

    We had a wonderful time at Geiger's camp. It is a very private location where one could completely relax. The food was very good, too. Always different and it never felt wastful. Overall nice view of the park and you could swim looking out in the distance. The staff very friendly and attentive, too. The highlight were the safari trips though. Our guide Landon and our tracker Jacky were both knowledgeable and fun. They went out of their way to ensure we saw all animals we could. We got lucky and got to see not only the big five but also wild dogs (twice!) and cheetah, as well as many more cool animals. Waking up early for the safaris is a bit tough but so worth it! We had a wonderful vacation and would love to come back.

    This was an incredible and unique experience we will never forget! We had a flight delay which meant we missed out on one night. Not only were Jackie and Lando accommodating in ensuring we were able to go on as many game drives as possible, even squeezing one in the morning we left, Thandi was just so welcoming and we felt instantly relaxed when we arrived, after what was a stressful 24 hours rearranging flights and transfers. Delicious food, top notch service and extra touches like hot water bottles for the cold mornings, organising a romantic dinner for two and a friendly wake up call made us feel like VIPs for the whole time we were there. In general the place felt like a magical escape and we would love to return one day to do it all again.

    This was our first safari experience and Geiger’s made it unforgettable. Our stay was magical. We saw so many animals including the big 5 and wild dogs. Every game drive we saw something new. Our room at Camp was big and nice and the hotel has a nice African safari feel and decor. It’s only 4 rooms which creates a nice intimate feel where you get to know the other people on safari with you.

    Just GREAT, in all aspects. It's a small camp, only four rooms. Nice atmosphere and vibe. Large and well equipped rooms with complimentary mini bar. Staff was amazing and so friendly. The food, WOW! It was above expectation! Our guide and tracker did a great job, had several really surreal and incredible sights. All big 5 completed! We had an amazing stay and would love to come back one day.

    This was simply a wonderful experience. Our first ever safari and we couldn't have asked for anyone better than our Tracker Jacky and most especially our Guide, Jeremy. They were both amazingly knowledgeable about so many subjects not just the animals but stars and constellations too ! And we had a laugh all the time with both them and the wonderful hospitality manager Anthony. We were very sad to wave good bye to them all as they felt like friends on our departure and what more can you ask from hotel staff than that? Facilities were amazing and with just a maximum 8 guests it was never busy and in fact we had the wonderful pool to ourselves the whole time. The drives were excellent and we were delighted that it was just 4 guests per vehicle making it far more intimate. Worth every penny coming here I can assure you. And lastly can't forget the terrific food served up by the chef Grace and always with a great big smile. But biggest smile must go to Anthony, a credit to the the Motswari Game Reserve.

    There really wasn't anything we didn't like. I honestly cannot think of a single thing as everything was fully catered to our needs and the staff was willing to accommodate with any request. I would say on the bookings.com site that they should list the closest airport locations would be a suggestation.

    We had an amazing experience, it was one of the best vacation destinations we've been to in our across the globe trips. The food was exceptional and the staff was absolutely delightful. I would book this place again without a thought.

    The staff and service were exceptional (thanks to Tim!). The safaris were amazing (thanks to Godfrey and Jacky). The food was incredible (thanks to chef Grace!). The rooms were beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The common areas and pool were top notch. All in all, this was probably the best accommodation experience we’ve ever had. It was worth every penny, and it lived up to (and exceeded!) our expectations.

    Geiger Camp and Motswari Game Lodge is my home away from home. This is excellent value for money, where each guest receives VIP treatment. The staff and rangers go the extra mile to ensure comfort and an amazing bush safari experience. And the cuisine is excellent! This was the fourth time I returned in 2 years. It is absolutely worthwhile and a huge treat!
