Tswalu Kalahari

If you're a traveller with a taste for the extraordinary, an adventurer seeking the road less travelled, Tswalu Kalahari is a destination that will leave you in awe. Nestled in the southern Kalahari, this pristine wilderness offers not just one but three extraordinary lodge options, each with its unique charm and an array of wildlife experiences that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Tswalu Kalahari is not just a getaway; it's an immersion into the very essence of this enchanting landscape. This vast, privately-owned wilderness spans from the iconic Korannaberg mountains to the endless red dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. It's an ecological masterpiece and is at the forefront of sustainable ecotourism in South Africa. Tswalu's commitment to conservation, community engagement, culture, and commerce has made it a true leader in preserving the natural wonders of this region.

Tswalu Kalahari - Exclusivity and Freedom: Your Safari, Your Way

One of the defining features of Tswalu Kalahari is the exclusivity it offers. The accommodations are luxurious, providing a haven of comfort and serenity amidst the rugged beauty of the Kalahari. Whether you choose the elegance of The Motse, the intimacy of Tarkuni, or the nomadic spirit of Loapi Tented Camp, each moment will be an exquisite indulgence in luxury.

The Motse, meaning "village" in Tswana, seamlessly blends modern luxury with the timeless beauty of the Kalahari. The architecture harmoniously integrates natural materials with contemporary design, creating a soothing ambience. You'll have your private deck, providing uninterrupted views of the Kalahari. The spacious suites are designed to immerse you in the environment, ensuring both luxury and privacy. More about Motse Suites …

Tarkuni, on the other hand, offers an exclusive retreat for families or groups seeking a personalised experience. This homestead accommodates up to ten guests in five luxurious suites, each designed to showcase the region's rich cultural heritage. It's a private escape, complete with a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living areas, and a dedicated team of staff to cater to your every need. More about Tarkuni …

Pioneering and nomadic in spirit, Loapi Tented Camp offers six individual safari homes surrounded by open savannah grasslands and accommodates two or four guests for the ultimate private wilderness experience. The homes are for those desiring complete privacy on safari, personal service is provided by a dedicated butler and all meals are prepared by a private chef in the interactive kitchen. Sustainably designed and environmentally sensitive, each tented home is tucked into the contours of a valley between the Korannaberg mountains. More about Loapi …

But it's not just the accommodations that set Tswalu Kalahari apart. Each group of guests has access to a private vehicle, guide, and tracker, ensuring total freedom and flexibility to safari at your own pace. This level of exclusivity is rare, offering you the opportunity to explore this magnificent wilderness on your terms.

This was our 4th trip to Africa and by far the best ever. All the details were properly handled; we had not flight problems or delays and the service provided by Safari Guru was outstanding. I would recommend them, and have to friends and family. We will be going back to Africa with the outstanding Staff of Safari Guru.

We recently returned from Kenya, had a fabulous safari designed by Deon de Villiers of Safari Guru. We had some wonderful sightings and the whole thing went without a single hiccup. The guides were excellent. Deon was so helpful in allowing us to reschedule several times due to COVID restrictions preventing travel. We visited Sirikoi in the Lewa Conservancy and Serian Ngare, Serian Nkorombo and Mara Plains at Masai Mara, each place offering a different experience, each special in its own way. Loved the rhinocerous at Lewa, giraffe giving birth at Ngare, hippopotamus at Nkorombo and cats at Mara Plains, and so so much more. We highly recommend Deon and the Safari Guru team.

We finally got to take our Kenya/Rwanda adventure with Safari Guru post pandemic. Our trip was a fantastic experience that immersed us in Africa. The holiday went as planned, everything was organised so we were gently steered from place to place, which we enjoyed as we found we weren't "travel fit" after sitting on sidelines for two years! Our lodges in Kenya were beautiful, nice and small, felt like you were part of a family, rather than a customer! Rwanda was a highlight, an amazing country with a shocking past that is moving forward beautifully. The advice from Deon to do two gorilla walks was perfect. Our first day we hiked in to mountain and when we got there the heavens opened and it didn't stop! The scouts found 6 gorillas for us to glimpse as they were hiding from rain too! We trekked down in the mud, rivers of water ending up bedraggled! It was a great experience but the next day was perfect! Beautiful blue skies, trekked up and gorillas were everywhere, sunning themselves and eating vigorously. Was awesome being so close and they couldn't care less! Would highly recommend safari Guru, they planned us a perfect holiday and are easy to contact with queries and answer promptly. Travelling on our own was great as each place we stayed, there were like travellers from around the world to socialise with. Thanks Deon and Ashley

I was completely blown away with the service I received from Safari Guru. We had a most marvellous holiday in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Everything went extremely well and the Wilderness team were excellent in looking after us at each of their safari camps. Well done to Deon and Ashley, Morag Cotsell

Had an amazing experience working with Deon and Safari Guru. My wife and I went into this trip thinking of it as a once in a lifetime experience. Because of our experience we have another trip in mind to bring our children so they can have the same amazing experience that we had. Thank you Deon! We look forward to seeing you again!

Safari Guru organized us an amazing journey in Namibia for our wedding anniversary; it will be long lasting and marvelous memories for years! We also greatly appreciated the dedication and support of Safari Guru's team during these challenging times of the Covid pandemic as they had to re-arrange 2 times our trip initially planned for 2020. Thanks and kudos to Deon and all at Safari Guru!

Botswana! What an incredible destination as we begin to travel again. This is a trip of a lifetime. The game drives were exhilarating, the people are friendly, the food fantastic, and the accommodations are meant to spoil you. Our trip was beautifully planned and executed by Deon De Villiers and his team at Safari Guru. They have been to every camp they recommend and tailor your safari experience to you. What else could you ask for! We will travel with them again and highly recommend Safari Guru to plan your next trip!
