Situated between the magnificent Outeniqua Mountains and unspoiled beaches of the Indian Ocean, situated on the Garden Route between Mossel Bay and George, located just off the N2 just on the outskirts of Little Brak River, Botlierskop Private Game Reserve has ensured us of a unique safari experience. Botlierskop is named after one of the spectacular rock formations on the reserve. The odd shaped "koppie" is a landmark in this area.
In the late 1700's Mossel Bay, a nearby historic town was developed as a busy export harbour for wool, ochre and ostrich feathers. According to the Legend, the koppie was used as a look-out point. When ships came in, the owner made a huge fire on the top of the "koppie". This was a sign for the nearby farmers, that a ship was coming in, so they could get ready to bring fresh supplies to the ship. The captain of the ship used the fire as an old-fashion lighthouse. Botlierskop was bought by Dr Dirk Neethling in 1996. He has been in the game farming industry since 1960 and saw the opportunity to reintroduce wildlife in this area. After 4 years of recovering from domestic farming Botlierskop was ready to open in the year 2000, allowing their guests to experience the beautiful Cape environment as it was, when wild animals still roamed freely. Vandaag eens een andere benadering van "licht". Het Fireplace Restaurant van Botlierskop na onze gamedrive was zeer welkom om weer op te warmen. Ondanks de fleecedekens in de auto. Prachtige game gezien; een overvloed van dieren waaronder 4 vd Big 5, leeuwen, olifanten, buffalo's, giraffen, neushoorns, nijlpaarden, zebra's, impala's, springbok, bonte bok, kudu's, eland en een unieke verzameling vogelsoorten.
