The Motse

The Motse is located at the foot of the Korannaberg mountains, facing westwards across the grasslands of the Kalahari.

Accommodation consists of six suites and two family suites built of local stone, red clay and traditional Kalahari thatch. Each suite has a spacious bedroom with an open fire, en suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor shower, and a large dressing and study area. All suites have a private sun deck overlooking the waterhole and the animals it attracts.

Two suites have been designed especially for families. Each offers two separate bedroom suites with their own en suite bathrooms, separated by a large living room leading on to a private terrace.

Tswalu offers unrivalled privacy in a vast, pristine wilderness. There is a maximum of six vehicles in over 100,000 hectares. The expert field guides have been specially trained in Kalahari wildlife and each contributes personally to the constant programme of research and conservation on the reserve. Game drives at Tswalu are completely tailored to guests' 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 a highlight at Tswalu and a morning can begin by walking to a Meerkat colony to watch 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 close range. For a Kalahari safari experience unlike any other, guests can also explore the dunes and savannahs on Tswalu's Horseback Safaris.
