“Pieter, Ria and the entire Motsomi family continue to exceed every expectation. I have hunted with many places in Africa over the years, with a variety of outfitters, and keep coming back to Motsomi. The level of hospitality is consistently superb. What changes is the experience in the bush, the new locations, and the amazing diversity of game. I have hunted with a scope rifle, cross bow and now an open sight double rifle for buffalo, with my last two shots at ten yards! Thrilling!! I will return to hunt Africa next year and the next, and the will all be with Motsomi. On to Tanzania in 2023 with them!”

As our 3rd trip with Motsomi comes to an end, we can honestly say it was as exciting as our 1st. We were privileged to see rain in SA for the 1st time, and we know how important it is as our 1st trip was in dry season. The rain brought unique challenges of washed-out roads and super thick coverage that made hunting one of Nick’s most challenging hunts. The patience, knowledge and persistence of Marco allowed Nick to harvest an amazing Cape Buffalo and Sable, just like his grandfather years ago. This made this hunt extra special. We celebrated our anniversary while here also. Ria, Pieter, Juanita, and Marco worked hard to arrange extra surprise adventures we requested. They even threw in a few surprises of their own to make our day even more special. Motsomi has always exceeded our expectations, and this time was no different. The food, the service, the accommodations, the quality of animals, and most importantly, the hospitality cannot be surpassed.

Took me 10 years to pull the trigger, and wow we certainly did. We meet this family 10 years ago at a show in Vegas. We went to numerous ones after that and always stopped at Motsomi. This was our first trip to South Africa and Motsomi, everything was super from animals seen and harvested to local attractions. The staff was very proficient and would help you anyway they could. Megan was spectacular in assisting anyway she could, yes “still no cigar.” It was good to Ria’s home area and business venture, it was beyond belief, she makes very hard choices daily and shines brite. My PH, PC was a young man with wisdom. Beyond his years, knowledgeable, proficient, expert. Don’t ever forget to listen to your PH and do not let your wife try to be one!! The table fair was extremely fantastic, Kudos to the Chef. This family will be going to Tanzania next year, then will be looking to come back to this family again. Family has a special meaning to ‘those that are family.”

“Come as a guest, leave as a friend” does not do our experience the justice it deserves. It should be “Come as a guest, leave as family.” My wife and I are struggling to find the words to describe just how special this trip was. PC, Marco, and the entire Motsomi family were incredible. The camaraderie, accommodations, food, quality of animals, and conversations were beyond any expectations we could have had. While we may not be able to find the words to describe our trip with Motsomi, the holding back of tears as we had to say goodbye says it all. We will be back!

From the time we arrived we were welcomed with smiles. They made every accommodation very easy. PC (my PH) taught me so much about the game and hunting each time we went out. Him and Patrick, the tracker, worked hard for the list of animals I wanted. We saw many beautiful sunrises and sunsets along with all the amazing animals Motsomi has. The accommodations at Nyala lodge are 1st class and the staff is so friendly. Admire, our chef was great, and every meal was delicious. Our first time in South Africa and we are already wanting to come back. I can’t thank the Motsomi team enough for working so hard behind the scenes and on each hunt to make this experience so memorable.

“Come as a client, leave as a friend”. It’s that “friend “part that hooks ya! The Motsomi crew are our family, from “across the pond”. This is our 5th safari at Motsomi, and we have several more on the calendar. Everything was magnificently orchestrated, and we felt like royalty! We were blessed to have Pieter as our PH and Ria as our tour guide and “boss lady”. Very obvious Motsomi’s successes can be attributed to their hard work and dedication to their clients. Thank you Motsomi!”
Time to say good-bye, but not forever. We will see you again for another adventure. This being our 5th safari with Motsomi has been exhilarating, if not more than the last four. The lion hunt was such and adrenaline rush! Your kindness and hospitality were beyond measure and PC, who was our PH, has grown into a man and businessman that his father would be proud of! Wed also like to thank the rest of the staff for their professionalism and contribution to our awesome adventure.

This was my 2nd African Safari and my 1st in South Africa. My father had been talking about going on an African safari for his 70th birthday and had shown me the Motsomi newsletters he’d been looking at. When he asked if I wanted to go too, it was an easy decision. We had both wanted a Sable for years and I’d never taken a Cape Buffalo. We quickly decided to go with Motsomi’ s Buffalo & Sable package. We both harvested incredible Buffalo and Sable, along with some other species we added on. Motsomi’ s exceptional management of the wildlife, the skill of their Professional Hunters, and friendliness of everyone made it a fantastic and extremely successful adventure! I can’t wait to return!

This was my fourth safari with Motsomi. A testament of the high regard I have for this premier outfit, and special family. The Motsomi team is professional, caring, and devoted to sharing their passion for wildlife, and the African experience, with their clients and friends. The abundance, diversity, and quality of the wildlife is unsurpassed, and the landscape is breathtaking. The friendships formed over the years are truly special — and alone, this sets Motsomi apart for me. Staff and accommodations are always exceptional. Excursions and time in the bush are full of adventure, and the hunting is simply epic. The skill and dedication on display by every member of the team during all of my hunts has been incredible to witness, and experience. We have put in the work, had some epic hunting adventures, and made some wonderful memories. This trip was no exception. It just keeps getting better. My sincere thanks to Ria, Marco, Xavier, Admire, Dominic, and Lloyd for this opportunity, for your dedication, and another incredible adventure. Kruger Park is impressive, and my Buffalo, Eland, and Sable are all magnificent! This trip was simply awesome!
Until next time my friends, God Bless.

Motsomi Family – We cannot say enough good about you. They say, “third time is a charm” and it certainly was. Even though that honey badger was a bit of a problem and stayed hid until a return trip the rest of the animals were above and beyond expectation. Thank you to the whole Motsomi Family – Pieter, Ria, Juanita, Marco our PH, Isaac our tracker, Admire our chef, PC, and the rest of the crew. This was truly a “third time is a charm”. Until the next time.
THANK YOU.
Your clients and friends!

We cannot thank you enough for this week. Dreams came true and new ones created. Pieter, we enjoyed the time we got to spend with you and the knowledge and love for these animals you shared with us. This was the first of many trips here to Motsomi. Thank you for making us feel at home from the moment we got here. The food and hospitality were exceptional. Laughs around the table and fire until our cheeks hurt! Thank you for the greatest vacation ever! Your family and staff are like no other. We miss you already.

What an incredible time we had for our first trip to Africa! All of the staff was amazing. Our PH Ruan had eyes like a hawk and was determined to help get the animals we were after. Pieter kept us laughing and helped secure the last of our animals before taking us on an unforgettable trip through Kruger. We cannot wait for our next trip with Motsomi!

From the moment we first met the Motsomi crew in Harrisburg, we knew we were in for the experience of a lifetime. What we didn’t know was just how remarkable our trip would truly be! Marco is a wealth of knowledge and a gifted professional hunter; he always ensured that our hunters were prepared and appropriately guided, while our observers’ questions were readily answered. Isaac’s tracking skills are second to none; precise, quick, and enthusiastic. We truly enjoyed the hours spent with both Marco and Isaac, along with the laughs and memories made along the way. The hospitality we experienced at the Nyala lodge is unmatched, as we were constantly catered to and checked in on by all the staff members. Maxwell’s tremendous cooking was certainly a highlight, and we looked forward to every meal. Motsomi Safari’s is a well-oiled machine, from booking and planning, to transportation and communication, all the way to ensuring that we left with memories to last a lifetime, the Motsomi crew left nothing unthought of. When we first booked, we called this trip “a once in a lifetime thing”, but we quickly realized that the Motsomi experience was one that we undoubtedly needed to continue to do. Before we left the lodge, we already had our next three trips planned. We truly went from clients to family, and we cannot wait to return!
Sincerely,
Mike & Lauren Szymanski
