Tswalu is a vast, magical land of infinite possibility, with sweeping vistas and a liberating sense of space. The green Kalahari is nature at its most diverse and surprising, and to spend time here is to be touched by exuberant, soulful beauty. Considered important for thousands of years, we’re now striving to conserve this breath-taking landscape for future generations.

 

Tswalu lets you reconnect with the richness of the earth. It offers an escape to a place that’s governed by the ancient rhythms of the seasons, rather than the clock and the calendar. It offers a vision of hope that brings together conservation, research and unrivalled safari experience. Everything we do is centred around our creed: To leave our world better than how we found it.

CAMP EXPERIENCES

At Tswalu, there are only two camps and you’ll be one of just 28 or fewer guests. Enjoy the privacy and exclusivity that define contemporary luxury - and experience the Kalahari at your own pace.

THE MOTSE

At the foot of the Korannaberg mountains, the Motse is a luxury, contemporary camp with nine private guest suites. The entire camp, including the main lodge’s indoor and outdoor lounge and dining areas, echoes the Kalahari’s dramatic beauty with richly textured interiors in soothing nature-inspired tones. The Motse welcomes children of all ages, and families are accommodated in one of three two-bedroom suites with a central living room. Inspiring adventure while soothing the senses, the Motse is your home from home – comfortably luxurious, yet comfortingly familiar.

With accommodation for up to 10 guests in five suites, all the pleasurable daily rituals of safari living have been thoughtfully considered and sustainably designed.
