Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, owned by the Oppenheimer family, is South Africa’s largest private game reserve. Motse and Tarkuni accommodate a maximum of 30 guests in over 100 000 hectares.
This vast and magical malaria-free landscape takes conservation as its first priority, with Nicky Oppenheimer’s vision to “restore the Kalahari to itself”. With over 80 game species (including the Desert Black Rhino, black-maned Kalahari lions, cheetah), its unique landscape, and unparalleled service delivery, Tswalu is the ultimate game retreat - whether it be the idyllic honeymoon or a truly memorable family holiday.
With proximity to both Cape Town and Johannesburg, Tswalu also provides the ideal partnership with both the intensity of the Lowveld, or the glamour of Cape Town.
