REST WHERE GIRAFFES MIGHT “NEST”
Breathtaking new tree house experience under African skies at Motswari Private Game Reserve in South Africa's Timbavati, near Kruger.
Imagine waking up in your very own tree house in the middle of the African bush … where the only alarm clock is birdsong and the warmth of the rising sun on the horizon on your face as the bush slowly wakens and comes to life...
This is the Giraffe’s Nest experience … promising an unforgettable night of adventure at Motswari Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Timbavati, which adjoins (there are no fences) the Kruger National Park.
The adventure starts as guests are dropped off at the scenic Xanatsi Dam shortly before sunset, complete with their personal belongings, a selection of drinks and a mouth-watering picnic dinner to enjoy on the viewing deck. Then it is up the ladder to an elevated wooden platform three metres above the ground – armed with a trusty hand-held radio to keep in touch with Motswari’s main lodge (just in case nerves get the better of them in the middle of the night!) and a torch to keep an eye on the exciting happenings below from the comfort of your bed! Nothing can beat the sense of being “at one with Mother Nature” as you watch the sun set from your canopy among the trees and hear the frogs and insects serenade you in your very own slice of Africa!
Rest assured this is no ordinary tree house!
Not only does Giraffe’s Nest have an innovative retractable roof so that guests can choose between sleeping under a canopy of stars or closing it should it rain, but the Nest boasts two wrought iron three-quarter beds, sumptuous crisp linen and mohair blankets – all surrounded by a large mosquito nets. There is even an eco-bathroom upstairs so there is no need to leave your platform, and miss a single moment in this once-in-a-lifetime experience (or for the less brave … to face the adrenaline rush of climbing down from your haven in the dark of night! ) After a night like no other, in the morning the game drive will collect you in time for a scrumptious breakfast back at Motswari Lodge.
Perhaps not for the faint hearted – but an exhilarating experience for those with a sense of adventure!
