Tintswalo Safari stands as a prestigious 5-star safari destination in the Manyeleti Nature Reserve, which shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands, and Timbavati Game Reserves. The reserve, whose name translates to "Place of the Stars" in Shangaan, encompasses 24,000 hectares of pristine wilderness, featuring diverse landscapes from savannahs to lush river ravines, marshes, and scenic hills.
The lodge offers exceptional game viewing opportunities with one of the lowest vehicle densities in the Greater Kruger area. The reserve is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including 147 mammal species, 517 bird species, 50 fish species, 33 amphibian species, and 114 reptile species. Visitors can readily observe the "Big 5" and the "Magnificent 7," which includes cheetahs and wild dogs.
The accommodation reflects colonial-era luxury, with suites named after 19th-century explorers. The property features six Explorer Suites, the Baines Presidential Suite, and the two-bedroom Grant Family Suite. Additionally, the Manor House offers five bedrooms for larger groups. Each accommodation option includes full board, twice-daily private safari activities, and modern amenities.
Tintswalo Safari provides immersive conservation experiences, including rhino dehorning operations, hyena collaring, bush walks, and night drives for observing nocturnal predators. As part of the family-owned Tintswalo Collection, the lodge maintains high standards of luxury while offering authentic wildlife encounters in an unspoiled African setting.
