Activities At Motswiri Camp
- Horse riding – Up to six hours per day are spent in the saddle – riding fitness is a distinct bonus! Riders must be able to rise to the trot, and control your horse at all speeds. The camp endeavors to match the riding ability of those on the rides so that all travel at a pace that matches riding ability. Riders may be required to gallop out of trouble, so the camp cannot take beginners, and it will be at the camps discretion as to whether novice riders can be accepted, taking their own safety and that of the group as a whole into account.
- Guests will be required to complete a riding questionnaire, which will enable the horse manager to match you to a horse that will suit. Riders should be aged 12 and over, and not be heavier than 95kgs, 210 lbs or 15 stone. It is entirely the responsibility of the client to supply their own well fitted hard hat or helmet, and the camp neither provides such hats nor accepts any liability for injury sustained as a result of failure to wear appropriate protection.
- Walking safari – There is no better way to get close to nature. The walking safaris involve tracking spoors, searching for specific game, bird watching, detailed study of flora and fauna – whatever you want! You will be accompanied by an armed, professional guide who will tailor his activities to your specific areas of interest and will know the answers to most of your questions!.
- Other activities (seasonal) – The proximity to the Spillway and the high floods of recent seasons make boating and canoeing possible nearly all year round. Motswiri have a mix of powered boats, canoes and mekoros, well suited to a wide range of water based activities. Game drives and night drives are also on offer, although the high floods currently being experienced do restrict the geographical reach of these, and boating options often allow better access to the reserve.
