General Information

Botlierskop was bought by Dr Dirk Neethling in 1996. He has been in the game farming industry since 1960 and saw the opportunity to reintroduce wildlife in this area. After 4 years of recovering from domestic farming Botlierskop was ready to open in the year 2000, allowing their guests to experience the beautiful Cape environment as it was, when wild animals still roamed freely.

In October 2001 the Fireplace Restaurant opened. This 100 seater restaurant soon earned the reputation for quality food and service.

Eight luxury tented suites overlooking the Moordkuil River were opened in September 2003. Botlierskop expanded quickly to about 3000 ha and had nine permanent guides handling the outdoor activities in 2003. In total there were more than 40 permanent staff contributing to Botlierskop's exceptional status in the tourism industry. This luxury accommodation has proven so popular that an additional 11 suites have been added between 2006 and 2007; then totalling 19. Warm hospitality and personal service has ensured that visitors return time and again

In June 2004 the two elephants, Sam and Tsotsi joined the Botlierskop team. This is the first time that elephant back rides were offered in the Southern Cape. In August 2007 Tsotsi gave birth to a healthy male calf. Tshima which means surprise, as it truly was.
