Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is so exclusive that only 30 people at a time are allowed to visit this game reserve located on the largest private concession in Southern Africa.



Free from malaria and other tropical diseases, this Kalahari resort offers guests activities like horse riding, star gazing, hot air ballooning, meerkat watching, bird watching, sun downers and special activities for the children.

Of course the main activity at Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is game watching from the private game viewing vehicle or guided walks or horseback trails across the red dunes.

With activities like these one can almost predict that deluxe facilities will include a well stocked private wine cellar, private plane, high powered telescope (for star gazing), a private chef, a library and a host of other luxuries.

The Sanctuary at Tswalu: And now, from mid - July 2007, a full-time Sanctuary Group therapist will be on duty to - indulge, treat and restore guests at The Sanctuary at Tswalu - the new five-star luxury spa.

Tswalu is justly proud of the success of its ongoing conservation projects in the game reserve, with the founder population of 7 000 animals having grown to more than 12 000 in the short space of five years.

Tswalu Kalahari Reserve's philosophy is "to restore the Kalahari to itself" and that is precisely what the therapists of The Sanctuary at Tswalu will do with the guests who come to them for treatment at the luxury spa.

The Sanctuary Group are creators, marketers and managers of five star spas throughout Africa and through the use of Eastern therapies and Western technology in this African location, their internationally trained therapist will "restore guests to themselves," using both a locally-produced Fynbos body range, Moya and an internationally-renowned Elemis.
