A Wild Escape: Botlierskop Private Game Reserve
Looking to add a touch of wilderness and luxury to your South African journey?
We highly recommend a visit to Botlierskop Private Game Reserve – a place we personally return to again and again.
Where is it?
Botlierskop is located just outside Mossel Bay, about a 4.5 to 5-hour drive from Ocean Song in False Bay. It’s the perfect stopover if you’re continuing along the Garden Route or planning a long weekend getaway into the bush.
📍 Distance from Ocean Song: approx. 400 km
🕒 Drive time: 4.5 to 5 hours (scenic and easy via the N2)
Why We Love It
At Ocean Song, we’re all about contrasts: the sea and the mountains, calm and adventure.
Botlierskop is one of our favorite getaways – luxurious, peaceful, and a great way to reconnect with South Africa’s wild beauty.
If you’re planning a road trip or just craving something beyond the coastline, add Botlierskop to your list. It’s worth every kilometer.
Luxury in the Wild
Choose between:
- Luxury tented lodges with private decks and river views

Expect fine dining, a tranquil spa, pools, and stunning views everywhere you look. Whether you’re staying overnight or just for the day, the experience is always five-star.What to Expect
Botlierskop is a privately owned game reserve offering luxurious safari experiences in a malaria-free area. Set between rolling hills and open plains, it’s an unforgettable escape into nature – with comfort.
You can spot the Big Five (except leopard) along with giraffes, zebras, elands, hippos, wildebeests, and over 200 bird species. Game drives are led by expert rangers in open 4×4 vehicles – often getting you breathtakingly close to the animals.
