Rhino Disharmony
for you. Meals are savoured either on the veranda, under the boma or out under the stars at night. During the day, guests can enjoy the solitude of nature, read a book from the library or relax in the infinity pool, overlooking the riverbed. A fully stocked bar and attentive staff ensure that you will not be without a refreshing G&T – a staple drink in the African bush. For the more audacious spirits, an overnight adventure at Giraffe’s Nest is a must! A newer addition to the camp, Giraffe’s Nest is located about 10 minutes from Mostwari camp, at an active waterhole. The tree house is on stilts, protecting guests from wandering night-time visitors, and is the epitome of Bushveld extravagance. Book a night in Giraffe’s Nest in advance

and a small picnic dinner will be prepared for you to savour at your leisure. You will be dropped off by a ranger, and collected in the morning. Spending a night here, falling asleep under the inky black African sky, is a truly unforgettable experience. Motswari, meaning “to conserve and protect” in Tswana, does precisely that, and the hands-on owners are passionate about the wildlife they are surrounded by. Prior to writing this, I had the intention of steering clear of any stereotypical descriptions of what one might expect from an article describing a lodge such as this. But I simply can’t. It IS majestic, it IS breathtaking and it IS, undoubtedly, a memorable experience that will leave you feeling awakened and alive. Mostwari will show you Africa, in all her grandiose glory.
Under the direction and unwavering support of its owners, Marion Geiger and Fabrice Orengo de Lamazière, Motswari launched an ongoing campaign in aid of rhino conservation, called Rhino Disharmony. Through the participation of artists, their fans and the informed public, the campaign sets out to create a global platform that will draw attention to the rhino poaching crises in South Africa. By doing so, the project hopes to encourage a shift in perception about the use of rhino horn and how it is fast-tracking this species to extinction. The campaign was launched in December 2014 and world renowned Chinese concert pianist, Tian Jiang, composed a magnificent tribute to the rhinos. Zolani Mahola – the lead singer of local band Freshlyground – also composed a song for the cause. www.rhinodisharmony.com / www.facebook.com/rhinodisharmony
