Tswalu Kalahari Game Reserve was recently voted one of the unique lodges of the world and rightly so. From the impeccable service to the close encounters with the shyer animals like Pangolin, Meerkats and Aardvark & the more unusual buck like Roan & Sable.
Form the moment you arrive at the private hangar to fly directly into Tswalu, a true 5 star luxury safari experience begins. If you book 4 nights at Tswalu the flights are free which is fabulous , the time it saves by flying straight to Tswalu means that within 2 hours your holiday at Tswalu starts.
If you would like to do a safari & a trip to explore Cape Town then the combination of 4 nights at Tswalu which includes the free flights and 4 nights at Cape Grace is the perfect holiday.
The Cape Grace is on a Bed and Breakfast basis and Tswalu is fully inclusive which includes all meals, drinks, activities and even a complimentary night at the Malori sleep out deck.
It’s also a malaria free reserve so it’s great for children and Tswalu welcomes them with kids ranger programmes, free babysitting. A real bonus is that when you arrive at Tswalu Kalahari your ranger picks you up and you have your own vehicle for the length of your stay so you can choose how you do your activities without worrying about other guests.
