Tswalu Kalahari Reserve – Northern Cape

Certainly, a privately owned game reserve can offer visitors a more personal and exclusive safari experience than a large national park. That’s because there are fewer visitors and often fewer vehicles. Guests can then simply enjoy quieter game drives and spend more time watching animals without the crowds. Private reserves may also offer luxury accommodation, knowledgeable guides, guided bush walks and flexible game drives, giving guests a closer connection with the African bush.

A private game reserve such as Tswalu Kalahari Reserve likes to focus on excellent hospitality, good food and personal service, making such a reserve the ultimate getaway for anyone looking for superb family accommodation, a romantic getaway or for any special occasion for that matter.

Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is actually South Africa’s largest privately owned game reserve. It covers some 118,000 hectares of arid savannah and red dunes in the Northern Cape and has splendid views of the Korannaberg mountains. The cherry on top is that this is a malaria-free game reserve as well and it is owned by the Oppenheimer family.

The reserve provides visitors with fabulous game viewing opportunities, and you’ll find that this fantastic safari destination comes with top predators such as the famous black-maned Kalahari lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs.

The private game reserve offers excellent family accommodation as well as accommodation for solo travellers, couples and groups:

• Motse has 9 small lodges with wonderful facilities. Each of the lodges are beautifully designed and is air-conditioned with sought-after facilities.
• Tarkuni is magnificently positioned in the mountains and provides family accommodation and accommodation for small groups. This safari accommodation also comes with luxurious touches such as a dedicated chef.
• Loapi is also beautifully situated against the foothills of the Korannaberg mountains. This tented safari camp promises its guests seclusion and peace.
