Immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Botlierskop Private Game Reserve at the Tented Lodge, where luxury and wilderness intertwine seamlessly. Each tented suite, perched along the river’s edge, is a sanctuary of elegance—featuring plush bedding, en-suite bathrooms with deep tubs, and expansive private decks offering sweeping views of the Outeniqua Mountains and the reserve’s plains. Wake to the symphony of birdsong, the rustle of leaves, or the distant grunts of buffaloes, knowing you’re steps away from nature’s raw grandeur.

Beyond your suite, the Tented Lodge offers a tapestry of unforgettable experiences for couples and romantic getaways. Embark on guided safaris to spot elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, and cheetahs, with rhinos holding a special place in Botlierskop’s heart—our conservation efforts have nurtured their presence, making sightings a profound connection to the reserve’s mission. Join bush walks to discover hippo splashes in the river, antelope grazing at dawn, or the rare privilege of observing rhinos in their natural habitat. At the Fireplace Restaurant, indulge in gourmet cuisine under starlit skies, with open seating and decks overlooking the reserve, where African drumming echoes as the sun dips below the horizon, painting unforgettable sunsets.

Unwind at the Fijnebos Spa, where African-themed treatments and a heated pool melt away tension, or choose from four cold pools, each offering breathtaking vantage points—whether gazing at grazing antelopes or the distant mountains. Perfect for romantic escapes and serene getaways, this lodge invites couples to reconnect amidst nature’s splendor.
