Kalahari Opulence

The Experience

Accredited as one of the Unique Lodges of the World. The experience at Tswalu is just that, unique. This lodge is like no other and guests will feel it in every part of this adventure. Situated in the Kalahari, Tswalu lodge offers just as many well known iconic animals as it does animals which are rarities anywhere else.

In the Tswana language, Tswalu means “new beginning,” and that is exactly what the story of Tswalu encompasses.

Visiting this lodge will leave you safe in the knowledge that you have given back to conservation by supporting this fantastic project of “restoring the Kalahari to it’s former self” enabled through the operations at Tswalu.

There are few other places that provide the level of service and attention to detail which Tswalu does in such a unique, remote and awe inspiring region.
