My husband and I Just spent two nights at Tintswalo. The lodge and facilities are totally five star but the most incredible memory is the game viewing with Duncan our guide and Simon our tracker. We saw over 30 different animals including 8 lion cubs with 3 lionesses and 2 male lions. We saw numerous elephants including from our lunch... More

Our group spent 4 days and loved every minute of the luxury treatment and sightings of lions within 4 ft of our vehicle, elephants surrounding us and an education regarding animal behavior. We saw a memorable and heartwarming reunion of 2 male brother lions who allowed us observe them for over an hour. No crowds and you can stay with... More

Our family just returned from a four night trip to Tintswalo. It was AMAZING. We were fortunate enough to stay in the Presidential Suite, a two bedroom gorgeous suite with its own plunge pool and an enormous back deck. It had claw foot tub, great linens and a full kitchen completely stocked. I loved the attention to detail like the... More

We recently stayed at Tintswalo for our Honeymoon, words cannot describe this amazing resort. My husband and I are already planning our trip back. The rooms are incredible, the staff is so attentive, and the food was gourmet but you could still get the south african flare. Our guide was Fritz and our tracker SiSi, we can't imagine going on...

Tintswalo Safari Lodge was the second stop on my safari experience and it is a unique place. The lodge welcomed our group with a specially prepared lunch outdoors. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the beautiful scenery as baboons attempted to “join us” for lunch! The lodge common area is a great space for lounging and enjoying an evening cocktail.... More

We stayed at Tintswalo Safari Lodge for 3 nights and it was exactly what we were looking for in a safari experience. It was very luxurious but still gave you a certain "South African" vibe, unlike some of the other luxury lodges we were looking at that were too modernized. Our private villa was beautiful, extremely private and enormous! It... More

We stayed with another family in Tintswalo Manor House. It sleeps a maximum of 10 and we had 9 in our group. Going on safari is in fact luxury camping. We were happy to sleep in the nets as you didn't have to worry about any insects on you. The home was comfortable, and the sleeping arrangements worked perfectly. The... More
