Tswalu Kalahari, owned by the Oppenheimer family, is South Africa's largest private game reserve. Located in the Northern Cape, at the foot of the Korannaberg Mountains, Tswalu covers an area of over 100,000 hectares of Kalahari wilderness. There are only two lodges on the entire reserve - the Motse and Tarkuni. Each provides the ultimate in barefoot luxury in sophisticated surroundings designed by world-renowned Boyd Ferguson.
The word "Tswalu" means "a new beginning". Tswalu Kalahari is driven by two ambitions; to create an inspirational experience for its guests, where every traveller can be renewed and feel reborn in this magical landscape, and a conservation vision, to restore the Kalahari to itself.
Just some of the spectacular wildlife to be seen at Tswalu includes the huge black-maned lions of the Kalahari and South Africa's largest single population of desert black rhino (Diceros bicornis bicornis), now identified as being a critically endangered species.
Tswalu Kalahari has received international awards including the Relais & Chateaux Global Environment Trophy 2006 and Conde Nast Traveller's World Saver Award 2007. Tswalu was named as one of National Geographic's top 50 eco-lodges in the world in 2009.
Tswalu Kalahari is a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux and offers guests sublime accommodation, splendid cuisine and a philosophy centred around personal service. Guided walks, private vehicles, horse-back safaris and hot air ballooning are all available as are nights sleeping out under Africa's biggest skies, simply to experience the sunsets, the stars and the silence.
The Kalahari is malaria-free. Families and children of all ages are welcomed, as Tswalu passionately believes in sharing this place of wonder across the generations.
