Tutwa Desert Lodge is a serene sanctuary in the heart of the Spartan Green Kalahari. It acts as an oasis of tranquil luxury amist the dramatic scenery of the Orange River in the Northern Cape of South Africa. 
You are surrouned by the unique private wilderness of a 16 000ha reserve.  A rewarding wilderness encounter features safari drives, nature paddles, birding and interactive conservation experiences. Tutwa is deeply engaged in the conservation of the area's leopards and its fauna and flora in general. The reserve has 24km of Orange River frontage; a source of life and bounty in a wild, and ancient desert.

The cool, spacious interiors of the lodge provide a serene sanctuary in this vast and untamed environment. The colours of Tutwa Lodge are organic and muted, with polished floors, high ceilings and original artworks. Natural game paths pass the lodge, and its likely antelope, giraffe, zebra and other African game may wander past.

There are five luxury rooms,  two superior rooms and two annex suites. All our rooms are spacious, air-conditioned with fine linens, full bathrooms, bathrobes and luxurious amenities. All suites have their own verandas and or balconies offering mountain or landscape views of the beautiful Green Kalahari.

Tutwa is an ideal escape for those looking for wildlife, birding, water and star-gazing adventure with a difference.
