Webinar Recording: Beyond the Ordinary: Exploring Newmark Reserves & Retreats

Mount Camdeboo Private Reserve

Tucked into the dramatic folds of the Sneeuberg mountains, Mount Camdeboo Private Reserve lies in the heart of the Great Karoo—a vast, soul-stirring landscape shaped by time. Once agricultural land, it has been lovingly rewilded into a thriving conservation reserve where the Big Five roam freely once again.

The experience here is rooted in purpose: conservation, restoration, and the quiet luxury of being immersed in nature. Accommodation ranges from elegant, Cape Dutch-style manor houses to intimate cottages and eco-conscious safari PODs—each space thoughtfully designed to feel like a homecoming. At Mount Camdeboo, luxury is found in the silence, the space, and the sense of belonging.

QWABI Private Game Reserve

In the heart of the Waterberg biosphere—one of only two UNESCO-recognised savannah regions in Africa—QWABI Private Game Reserve unfolds across a landscape where water meets wilderness. Rich in wildlife, Big Five and cultural heritage, this is a place where the safari experience is reimagined through bold design and world-class hospitality.

LETAMO Lodge is the social soul of the reserve, offering 58 Afri-chic rooms that blend contemporary comfort with earthy elegance. From family-friendly options to wheelchair-accessible spaces, LETAMO invites every guest to feel at ease.

BABOHI Lodge, more refined and secluded, offers just 25 rooms, including a Presidential-Style Suite for those who seek the pinnacle of luxury. Sophisticated interiors, personalised service, and uninterrupted views create a deeply immersive escape.

Whether you’re drawn to the wildlife or the serenity, QWABI is where untamed nature and curated luxury converge.

Geiger’s Camp at Motswari  

Perched high above the bushveld with sweeping views of the Sharalumi River, Geiger’s Camp is Motswari’s most intimate escape—ideal for families or small groups seeking a private safari experience with a personal touch.

Here, in a remote corner of the reserve, four luxurious suites and one Master Suite with its wrap around private pool, where the wilderness feels close enough to touch. With personalised service, exclusive game drives, and warm interiors that feel like home, Geiger’s Camp is where meaningful moments unfold—quietly, naturally, beautifully.

Motswari African Retreat & Walking Safaris

Deep in the wild heart of the Timbavati, Motswari African Retreat invites you to slow down and reconnect—with nature, with yourself, and with the rhythm of the land. This is not a typical safari. Here, the experience is shaped by the stillness of walking through the bush, the hush of dusk falling over the trees, the scent of earth after rain.

Thoughtfully designed lodges offer barefoot luxury, with expansive views and soothing interiors that let nature take the lead. Whether you’re tracking wildlife on foot or simply taking time to breathe, this is a sanctuary for the soul, where every moment is intentional.

Motswari Private Game Reserve

A classic Big Five safari experience in one of South Africa’s most revered wilderness areas, Motswari Private Game Reserve spans over 150 square kilometres of untamed beauty within the Timbavati and Umbabat Private Nature Reserve.

The Main Camp features 15 en-suite bungalows set discreetly among the trees, ensuring a sense of privacy and intimacy. With a maximum of 30 guests at any time, the experience is exclusive by nature—allowing for unhurried game drives, personal attention, and a deeper connection to the landscape.

At Motswari, it’s not just about what you see, but how you feel when your part of something timeless.

Future Found Sanctuary

Cradled on the slopes of Table Mountain in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions, Future Found Sanctuary is a space of stillness, beauty, and energetic healing. Inspired by the land and led by intention, this is where guests come to reconnect—to self, to nature, and to the slow rhythms of life.

Maison Noir, a 5-star architectural masterpiece, brings together global design, curated art, and South African soul. Set within lush, regenerative gardens, it’s a sanctuary for the senses—refined, expressive, and deeply private.

Just beyond, Villa Verte offers four elegant suites, panoramic views, and serene spaces designed for mindfulness and renewal—from the meditation lawn and healing garden to the emerald-green pools nestled into the landscape.

Together, these villas form a conscious luxury retreat—one that invites you to arrive, unwind, and begin again.
