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.’

Client Testimonials

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
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
