Bela Bela, Limpopo, South Africa – 21 May 2014 – Botsebotse Luxury Retreat today announced that it has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings. Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business' tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

“Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Botsebotse Luxury Retreat and we'd like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor,” said Christine Hall owner Botsebotse Luxury Retreat. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by one's customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence.”

“TripAdvisor is pleased to honour exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. “The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience.”

The Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence award follows hot on the heels of Botsebotse Luxury Retreat being awarded the World Luxury Hotel 2012 and 2013 global awards for the Best Luxury Eco Safari Lodge and Best Luxury Country House based on votes received from travel operators, agents and guests of Botsebotse Luxury Retreat. More than a 1 000 hotels from 87 countries were nominated for these awards over this period.

Botsebotse Luxury Retreat

Botsebotse Luxury Retreat -a mere 2.5 hours' drive from Johannesburg in the malaria-free Zebula Private Nature Reserve, in the Waterberg region of Limpopo Province An added benefit to this world-class luxury retreat is an award-winning, world-class golf course and practice facility – and all this in the African bush.

Zebula Golf Course -designed by the legendary Peter Matkovich -is a classic Bushveld par-72 course, set in the open plains of the reserve, where game roams freely. Peter is an environmentalist who seamlessly blends nature and design to create golf courses that are sensitive to the local environment. Hillsides, open plains with mountain views and streams make up a unique setting. Built to USGA specifications with kikuyu fairways and bent-grass greens, the layout is so much part of the bushveld experience that guests shouldn't be surprised to encounter a lofty giraffe or a shy zebra during a golfing experience.

Other activities within a 15-minute radius include:
• Guests' own eco bush safaris on foot, Botsebotse's free bicycles or by own car
• Big five safaris at neighbouring Big 5 Private game Reserves
• Shingwedzi Cheetah and Wild Dog Conservation
• Elephant interaction and elephant back safaris
• Wellness treatments
• A well equipped sport centre at the clubhouse with a pool, gym, squash and tennis courts
• Premium golf

Superior accommodation, as well as exceptional dining and top quality wines, make Botsebotse Luxury Retreat the discerning traveller's choice.
