I have recently returned from my 11th trip to Mosetlha over the past few years which I think says it all. I spend quite a lot of time in the bush and find this place the ultimate. It is just so much more than looking for big game, and the Field Guides are exceptional in this regard. Mosetlha itself is... More

I recently enjoyed my Easter break at the above camp and it was a great choice. The camp is small but very well run and although it says no electricity or running water, the alternatives provided are just fab. I had hoped to have an excuse not to wash my hair for 4 days, but with the ingenious shower facilities,... More

A comfortable, friendly camp with a fantastic atmosphere. The food was great and plentiful, the showers were the best bucket showers I've ever had, and the rooms were clean and spacious. The camp came alive at night, illuminated by the kerosene lamps. All the guides were knowledgeable and Justice provided 4 excellent, wildlife-filled game drives, including a breathtaking wild do...

We can only add to the praise already heaped on Mosetlha by other reviewers.Our stay in early March was wonderful and exceeded our expectations in so many ways. The concept is a winning one, combining low eco footprint tourism with comfort and service. It is the perfect antidote to the luxury lodge experience, which has disappointed us in the past... More

We recently spent 2 nights at the Mosetlha Bush Camp and it was an incredible experience. Who needs electricity and running water when you have stunning meals by candlelight and can heat your water to shower in a donkey boiler??

We had a perfect stay. Although eco, it's very luxury and has nothing to do with the disadvantages of camping in a cramped tent. Everything has been taken care of, food is perfect, drives are exiting and the rangers have a lot of knowledge and know the spots were to go. It's very special to enjoy sunset next to the... More
