The quintessence of African safari elegance

 Tswalu Motse Lodge is the principal establishment within the Tswalu Kalahari wildlife Reserve, the largest wildlife reserve in South Africa.  Amid expansive open landscapes and red desert soil, you will traverse the terrain in pursuit of the 70 mammalian species residing in the reserve, including lesser-known species such as the Aardwolf, Pangolin, and Aardvark, which are frequently observed here.

 While game drives in open-sided, canopied safari vehicles constitute the primary game viewing activity, you will have the opportunity to partake in bush walks or horseback rides accompanied by knowledgeable rangers.  A diverse array of eating experiences is offered, including sundowners on lantern-lit dunes, boma dining, and mountain vistas beneath umbrella thorn acacias.  Guests at Tswalu want uniqueness, adventure, seclusion, and transformative travel experiences.  Something unconventional.  The Tswalu experience provides tourists the opportunity to engage in one of South Africa’s largest conservation initiatives.

 Tswalu Motse hosts guests in nine ‘Legaes’, a Tswana term signifying “little house”.  Each ‘Legae’ is constructed from stone, red-sand clay, and thatch sourced from the Kalahari region, featuring an en-suite bathroom, open fireplace, private sun deck with a breathtaking Kalahari vista, and additional amenities.  Three of the legacies have been crafted as expansive double suites (Motse family suites) featuring two distinct bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, adjoined by a lavish separate living space, ideal for parents traveling with little children.
