Game Viewing

The Kalahari Desert

Starkly beautiful with its endless vistas and huge starry night skies, mile upon mile of rolling rust-red sand dunes, solitary trees and scattered grasses, the Kalahari is a place like no other. For lovers of the ambience of untamed Africa, this hauntingly beautiful region has a special appeal all of its own.

The Kalahari is not a true desert, in the sense that it is well vegitated and rainful is plentiful, if erratic. This harsh wilderness and unusual ecosystem is the setting for one of the most rewarding safari experiences in the world.

The Kalahari Desert has been named by TIME magazine as one of the undiscovered jewels of the planet.

Tswalu Kalahari Reserve

Winner of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux Global Environmental Trophy 2006, the game viewing opportunities here are unparalleled. Tswalu offers guided walks across silent dunes and even horseback trails, in additional to magical game drives. The variety of wildlife makes this an unforgettable safari experience.

Tswalu was also the winner of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)-Lonmin award for environmental conservation in 2007. It's justifiably proud that the founder population of 7,000 animals has grown to more than 12,000 in just five years.
