With Vast Hospitality experience

Nestled in Manyeleti Game Reserve sits Tintswalo Safari Lodge

The name Tintswalo is derived from a popular Shangaan expression, meaning “the intangible feeling of love, gratitude, and peace that you bestow upon someone who has given you a meaningful and worthy gift”. Tintswalo honours these beautiful words by offering its guests an unforgettable getaway amongst Africa’s finest wildlife, enjoyed in the comfort of a five-star lodge.

Tintswalo Safari Lodge is one of only three commercial lodges located in the pristine Manyeleti Game Reserve. Boasting 23,000 hectares of untouched African wilderness, this is a slice of private wilderness within the world-renowned Greater Kruger National Park.

Fully-accredited, qualified guides and local trackers take guests on authentic African safari experiences, with exceptional game viewing offered twice daily in open safari vehicles. The abundance of wildlife ensures uninterrupted, intimate encounters with a great variety of animals, including the Big Five, as well as a plethora of fascinating insects, reptiles, and 300 species of birds found in the region.

A landmark of luxury accommodation and service, Tintswalo Safari Lodge offers six Explorer Suites, as well as the expansive Baines Presidential Suite and the two-bedroom Grant Family Suite. These luxuriously-decorated suites reflect the opulence of colonial times, evoking the adventures of the 19th-century explorers they are named after. Each air-conditioned suite is furnished with a lavish en-suite bathroom, as well as a private deck with a plunge pool, allowing guests privacy and the chance to relax and soak up the African sun and wilderness from the comfort of their suite.

The five-bedroom Tintswalo Manor House presents the perfect private vacation option for families or friends travelling together and seeking a tailor-made stay. The Manor House is child-friendly and offers personalised children’s programmes and a fun, educational safari for children of all ages.

Dining is a culinary adventure at Tintswalo Safari Lodge. Mouthwatering cuisine is served throughout the day, often in surprise locations hidden in the wilderness. From a bush breakfast cooked over the coals to a starlit dinner around a blazing boma fire, whether guests opt to dine alone or decide to join their fellow travellers, they are guaranteed to experience the ultimate in five-star dining.

Within the modern comforts of the lodge, the spoils continue with pampering spa treatments, High Tea, and romantic dinners in the wine cellar. With bush views from the sprawling wooden decks and all living areas, guests may enjoy game viewing from the lodge as elephants, buck, and troops of monkeys pass by.

Tintswalo Safari Lodge is easily accessible via a short drive from Hoedspruit airport, or guests can opt for a leisurely sixhour drive/shuttle service from Johannesburg, ideal for those who prefer a scenic road trip.
