Take a look at the remote Tswalu in the Kalahari
Tswalu, a private wildlife reserve in the Kalahari has conservation, community and culture at its core.
Tswalu sets out to restoring the Kalahari through sustainable conservation, supported by ecotourism, offering privileged access to one of the last remaining wilderness areas in South Africa.
As South Africa’s biggest privately owned game reserve (111 000 hectares), it is first and foremost an ambitious conservation project that funds numerous research projects, geared towards understanding and conserving key species within the Kalahari ecosystem. With accommodation for a maximum of 28 guests at the Motse camp and Tarkuni homestead, Tswalu has the lowest guest footprint in South Africa.
Your Tswalu adventure begins in one of our two luxury camps, the Motse or Tarkuni. The Motse is a luxury camp with nine private guest legae (Tswana for ‘home’); three are specifically for families, with two bedrooms. Tarkuni, located in a secluded valley below the Korannaberg mountains, is a private homestead with five bedrooms for the exclusive use of a multigenerational family or a party of friends. Located far apart, both camps are perfectly positioned to take in the wide, open spaces that are so typical of the southern Kalahari’s dramatic beauty.
The best news about visiting Tswalu is Restaurant Klein JAN on the reserve, which opened in 2021. The culinary traditions, ingredients and regional produce of the Northern Cape are the shining stars on a seasonal menu rooted not only in the southern Kalahari’s remote and dramatic landscapes, but also in the resourceful, creative people of this remote, unexplored region.
So whether its family, romance or dining, the Tswalu experience is an unforgettable one.
