Tswalu Kalahari

Covering 1 000 square kilometres in the lesser visited Kalahari Region, Tswalu is the largest private game reserve in South Africa and is Malaria free. The reserve comprises of two sectors, the eastern and the western sectors and, as the reserve is family friendly, lions are only found in one sector. The Kalahari savannah, sand dunes and the Korannaberg Mountains increase the biodiversity of the area enormously.

Day 5 Accommodation

Tswalu Kalahari

Dining at Tswalu is a celebration of sustainable food culture; all produce is ethically sourced, seasonal and a stunning representation of African culture and heritage. Guests can chose to dine on their verandah, enjoy a picnic lunch or join with others in a barbeque around the boma, dining here is not confined to regular mealtimes but rather an immersive part of the experience in staying at Tswalu.

Day 6 to 7 Accommodation

Tswalu Kalahari

One of the most memorable experiences for guests of Tswalu is the opportunity to dine at Klein JAN. Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen retains a Michelin star for his restaurant in Nice, and Klein JAN, his second location, is an exciting and immersive dining experience. Located within a converted farmhouse on the reserve, guests move through the farmhouse for different courses finally ascending to the roof to sip coffee under the stars.
