Meet at 11am at the airport for your flight to Tswalu. In Johannesburg, you will depart from the Anglo American hangar and in Cape Town, we use the ExecuJet private hangar. Flights leaves at noon. Short road transfer to lodge, and check in. Game drive this afternoon. Dinner at the lodge.
Tswalu offers unrivalled privacy in a vast, pristine wilderness. We have a maximum of six vehicles in over 100,000 hectares. As Nicky Oppenheimer says, “If you see another Land Rover, complain!” Our expert Field Guides have been specially trained in Kalahari wildlife and each contributes personally to the constant programme of research and conservation on our reserve. Game drives at Tswalu Kalahari will be completely tailored to your own interests. As well as discovering many rare and endangered species for the first time, every guest leaves with a deep appreciation of the beauty of this entire eco-system.
Bush walks are encouraged at Tswalu. We want people to get even closer to the land. To touch the unique vegetation (and learn about some plants’ extraordinary properties). To inspect nests and burrows. To examine the smallest insect. A morning can begin by walking to a meerkat colony and watching these engaging mammals warm themselves in the sunshine before they scamper off to forage. Night walks are now also possible, offering the chance of exceptional sightings such as aardvark, aardwolf, porcupine or brown hyena at even closer range.
And for a Kalahari safari experience unlike any other, our guests can explore the dunes and savannahs on our African Horseback Safaris. Few moments can rival gently walking through a herd of sable antelope on horseback, sharing the magical stillness that defines the Kalahari.
Have a leisurely breakfast and prepare to check out. Flight departs for home after lunch.
