Tarkuni Homestead at Tswalu Kalahari Private Game Reserve has five luxurious suites, each with a magnificent en-suite bathroom, and can accommodate up to 10 guests. Tswalu Tarkuni Lodge Kalahari has its own dedicated team, including a host and private chef to ensure a completely personal service. A private vehicle, personal field guide, and tracker ensure an equally bespoke safari experience.

The wide, open spaces of South Africa’s largest, privately owned reserve have long drawn travelers seeking a deeply layered, immersive safari. Exclusive access to this wilderness is a privilege that far outweighs more conventional notions of luxury. From the ancient quartzite Korannaberg mountains to the southern Kalahari’s grassy, red sand dunes rippling away to the horizon, Tswalu offers what discerning travelers crave most - space and time. The remote reaches of the reserve may be explored on drives, walks, or on horseback, always with opportunities to stop and appreciate the solitude and silence. This is a place to recalibrate and reconnect, both with nature and yourself.

With a guaranteed private vehicle, guide and tracker come the freedom and flexibility to choose where to go and what to see. Nothing is dictated, the only schedule is your own, and days on the reserve unfold at your own pace depending on your interests and the time of year. For keen photographers, in particular, a private vehicle means unlimited time at sightings, which may include some of the elusive species that find sanctuary at Tswalu, such as aardvark, pangolin, bat-eared fox, brown hyena, and aardwolf. Other iconic species include the black-maned Kalahari lion, the desert black rhino, wild dog, oryx, and cheetah. Throughout the year there are special sightings and transformations to the landscape influenced by seasonal changes and the amount of rainfall. Spending time at one of the habituated meerkat colonies is often a highlight of any stay.

Tswalu has the lowest guest footprint in South Africa. Whether you choose the private Tarkuni homestead for a multigenerational family reunion or one of the nine, spacious Motse legae (the Tswana word for ‘dwelling’), everything about your stay is considered and arranged with the individual in mind. Exclusivity extends to private dining. Delicious, tailored menus, using locally sourced produce with a strong sense of place, may be served in your suite or outdoors at a private table under the bluest of skies or a canopy of stars. Privacy, exclusivity, and flexibility have always been central to the Tswalu guest experience. Your time on the reserve is entirely your own, and therein lies the real luxury.

Freedom to explore, whether the unfamiliar or the well-known, will never be taken for granted again. More than ever before, there is a renewed sense of urgency, purpose, and responsibility when it comes to choosing a destination. Tswalu’s low-impact, high-value approach to ecotourism ensures that revenue flows directly back into conservation work. Continuing the conservation work that is at the heart of this noble project has never been more important. Those who choose Tswalu contribute to the sustainability of our commitment to preserving southern Kalahari’s biodiversity for future generations.
