A vast and magical land

Tswalu Kalahari, owned by the Oppenheimer family, is South Africa's largest private game reserve. Located in the Northern Cape, at the foot of the Korannaberg Mountains, Tswalu covers over 100,000 hectares and offers only two camps on the entire reserve - the Motse and the Oppenheimer’s villa Tarkuni.

Each provides the ultimate in barefoot luxury in sophisticated surroundings designed and recently refurbished by world-renowned Boyd Ferguson.

The word "Tswalu" means “a new beginning". Tswalu Kalahari is driven by two ambitions; to create an inspirational experience for its guests, where every traveller can be renewed and feel reborn in this magical landscape, and a conservation vision, to restore the Kalahari to itself. These two goals sit in perfect equilibrium; each guest contributes directly to the sustainability of the reserve in a true model of eco-tourism. The recently launched Tswalu Foundation now creates the possibility to become even more deeply involved in a number of conservation initiatives.

Tswalu Kalahari has received international recognition and awards including the Relais & Chateaux Global Environment Trophy in 2006 and Conde Nast Traveller's World Saver Award in 2007. Tswalu was named as one of National Geographic's top 50 eco-lodges in the world in 2009. Tswalu Kalahari (tswalu.com) is a member of the Relais & Chateaux portfolio of unique experiences in Southern Africa
