The Experience

In the native Shangaan language, Tintswalo means “the intangible feeling of love, gratitude and peace bestowed upon someone offering you a meaningful and worthy gift.”

Tintswalo Safari Lodge is an exclusive lodge located in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa in the Manyeleti Private Game Reserve concession. This lush, 5-star lodge is nestled between the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve to the North, Sabi Sand Reserve to the South, and open to the Greater Kruger National Park on its fenceless eastern boundary.

Resting amid an ancient sycamore tree grove that overlooks a waterhole frequented by large herds of elephant and other big game, this luxury resort is a pristine wilderness reserve abounding in big game and spectacular bird life.

“As a bit of a Safari geek who has been to lodges throughout Eastern and Southern Africa, I can confidently say that this is one of the best around. The staff was absolutely superb, and the accommodation simply stunning. The food was also to a very high standard. The game viewing was outstanding, and the guides didn’t simply rush you from one viewing to another, you actually got to spend ‘quality’ time at each viewing. Simply could not recommend this lodge enough.” – Steve
