Stay at Tswalu The Motse

Tswalu The Motse is a secluded camp of nine “legae” (dwellings) including three family legae. Each legae offers a secluded setting, with all built completely from natural materials from the area.

Tswalu is South Africa’s largest private game reserve at more than 100,000 hectares. Boasting over 80 mammal species and 240 species of bird; the area provides a home to some of South Africa’s most rare and extraordinary wildlife such as the desert black rhino and black-maned Kalahari lions.

Unlike other lodges, children of all ages are very welcome and are actively encouraged to participate in the safari experience for a holiday they will never forget.

During your stay at Tswalu you can also make use of the Sleep-Out Deck for one of the top sleepout experiences in Africa .

Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!
