The Fire Place restaurant is designed to accommodate and spoil guests without compromising on intimacy and comfort. To further enhance the experience, locally produced life entertainment includes African Drummers on selective evenings. Both of these are highly recommended and add to the uniqueness and special memories.

GARDEN ROUTE WEDDINGS

Wedding ceremonies are as popular at Botlierskop as our roaring fires, lions and venue! On the wooden deck many a happy couple has exchanged vows in front of friends, family and the presence of natural beauty and overwhelming tranquility. The game reserve has many opportunities for breathtaking photography and to make sure your memories are as precious as your wedding day, ask the wedding co-ordinater to direct you to the best available options.

GAME DRIVES

Botlierskop is a well stocked, free roaming private game reserve, which gives visitors the opportunity to view African wildlife from the safety of 4x4 vehicles, in its natural habitat. Rhino's, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, eland, bontebuck and 26 more species, make up a total of more than 1800 animals.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
