Tswalu Kalahari
Kalahari

Tswalu Kalahari is South Africa’s largest private game reserve, protecting over 110,000 hectares of scenic grasslands and mountains. Conservation is taken seriously here with the reserves motto being to ‘restore the Kalahari to itself.’ No more than 30 guests at a time can visit so this is a tranquil and exclusive choice to explore this savannah paradise.

Accommodation choices are scattered throughout the reserve; The Motse is a nine-suite collection of ‘legaes’ or huts built of desert sand, local stone, rich red clay and traditional Kalahari thatch. Each comprises a large bedroom with open fireplace, en-suite bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower and a large study area. The main house has a sanctuary-like spa & gym and a fantastic wine cellar.

The fabulously-decorated villa, Tarkuni is the private residence of the Oppenheimer family and offers a complete oasis. Its five suites (with heavenly bathrooms) accommodate a maximum of 10 guests in total.

A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits at Malori (meaning ‘dreamer’ in Tswana), a sleeping deck which offers guests the unparalleled experience of sleeping in the wilderness, under the fabled ‘diamond skies.’

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
