The Motopi Legacy

Evolved through the transformative vision of ALAS Group and passionate leadership, Motopi Farm stands as a living bridge where ancient heritage, thriving ecosystems, and sustainable innovation converge. We are cultivating an extraordinary future, honoring the enduring legacy of this place.

The Land's Ancient Story

Long before its current cultivation, this land bore witness to an intricate dance of life. The area now Motopi Farm has always been a vibrant thread in Botswana's wild tapestry, where the lives of wildlife and people merge into a single rhythm. In its original state, this connection was lived as elephant herds charted pathways that communities also knew, zebra migrations marked time alongside human traditions, and the life-giving rains upon the Kalahari sustained both human settlement and thriving herds. This ancient, shared rhythm, a profound story of coexistence etched into the soil, provides the enduring spirit upon which Motopi Farm is built. Our stewardship today is guided by this understanding of a landscape eternally connected to all its past inhabitants.
