We booked a package including 3-course lunch, 1 game drive in the afternoon, 3-course dinner, 1 night, 1 morning game drive and breakfast. We paid a lot of money for this package and it should have been the highlight of our holiday in South-Africa. The welcome was very friendly and warm when we arrived. We had lunch, and as I was not feeling well I only had a main course (instead of 3-courses). After lunch we went to the room and at first sight, the room looks perfect, but when looking more in detail not everything was clean (shower, toilet...). At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we had to be ready for our first game drive. As I was not feeling very well and the temperature was high that day, the waiter of the restaurant asked me if I wanted to have some extra water during the game drive, which was nice. According to me, everybody should receive a small bottle of water during the game drive (for sure when the temperature is high). The game drive itself was perfect, our ranger Alex did a really great job. We saw a lot of animals, got a lot of info and could ask all questions we had. After our game drive we went to our room to get ready for dinner. As I was still not feeling very well, I only had a starter and a main course and I didn't had a dessert, but took a tea instead. Afterwards we noticed that the extra water I had on the game drive and the tea I had instead of the dessert, we had to pay while I had 3-courses (not at lunch and not at dinner). This is just ridiculous. The next morning, we had another game drive, which was also perfect. Breakfast I didn't enjoy as I was still not feeling well. After we checked out, we used the swimming pool, which was very dirty at the bottom. We stayed in a lot of different accomodations during our trip in South-Africa, Botlierskop was de most expensive one and at the same time the worst. We would only recommend the game drive, but I would never recommend people to stay here.
