The flagship property of the magnificent Tswalu Kalahari, the Motse looks out over the grasslands of the Kalahari with the Korannaberg Mountains providing a suitably dramatic backdrop. The main hub of this accommodation provides sweeping views from the infinity pool and elevated decks, while the lounges and library provide some quiet time - the latter sports a museum section that displays a number of historic artefacts from the Kalahari area.
Stay in one of 9 stone and thatch suites, known colloquially as legaes. Of the 9 legaes, 6 are standard while 3 are dedicated to families and capable of accommodating up to 4 people. A far cry from simple stone and thatch accommodation, the suites have been carefully designed to exude the necessary elegance and charm to make your stay at Tswalu a special one. Expect contemporary furnishings melded seamlessly together with exciting safari chic. All suites possess broadband WiFi access, an open fireplace (a welcome addition in winter months) and both indoor and outdoor showers. There's also a private sun deck on which to relax, they overlook a waterhole so enjoying some casual game viewing is a must.

Honeymoon to
South Africa & Seychelles
Absolutely amazing!! Everything happened with zero issues or stress from beginning to end. We appreciated the thorough itinerary, guides, and hotel concierge. We were treated like their most important client everywhere we went. We have Steve to thank for setting up the most perfect honeymoon!!
We absolutely loved this trip. The lodges were all fantastic and well located and our guide with Predators Safari Club always made us feel safe, cared-for and welcome. The experience of being on safari with so few other travelers was a once in a lifetime experience.
Nicki and Mahlatini took care of absolutely everything on this trip - we didn't have to worry about a thing knowing Nicki was multiple steps ahead of us every leg of our journey!
