Botlierskop Private Game Reserve

Situated along South Africa’s scenic Garden Route lies the 4200-hectare family-owned and privately-operated Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. Set on the foot of the Outeniqua Mountain Range the reserve boasts incredible mountain and ocean views.  A mere 30 minutes’ drive from George airport or a scenic 4.5-hour drive from Cape Town, it is the perfect safari addition to your Garden Route travel itinerary. Botlierskop Private Game Reserve is home to four of the Big 5 (lion, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) as well as a host of antelope, rare black impala, zebra, giraffe, and hippo. There is also a large bird colony on the reserve. Lead by expert game rangers with an incredible passion for the African wild, daily game drives are taken in specialized 4×4 safari vehicles.
