The Tintswalo main lodge complex, connected to the suites by raised boardwalks, houses the dining area and wine cellar as well as a library, luxurious lounge and fire place, all set on elevated decks overlooking the permanent waterhole and Fig Tree forest, offering guests luxury accommodation in Manyeleti Game Reserve.

The exclusive suites are decorated to recall the pioneering times of explorers; with every modern luxury added. Each suite has a private plunge pool and bar facility for trouble free accommodation in Manyeleti Game Reserve.

All the spacious air–conditioned suites are positioned along the seasonal Nwaswitsontso river with a view of the waterhole below the majestic Sycamore grove. The indoor / outdoor shower leads off from the spacious bathroom, which opens out onto a private deck.

The exquisite lounge area of the main complex also overlooks the Sycamores and watering hole, and all parts of Tintswalo's accommodation in Manyeleti Game Reserve are linked by wooden walkways.

Additional to the 5 standard explorer suites, there is the secluded honeymoon suite, The 'Baker' suite, decorated in opulent fabrics and four-poster bed. The presidential suite, The 'Baines' suite, has 2 full suites joined by a large living area with open-plan kitchen, where a private chef prepares meals.

This suite, if required, has completely private activities and can operate independently from Tintswalo main lodge. Children are welcome to stay in this suite.

Activities

Daily schedules on a South Africa safari are infinitely flexible to accommodate any preference and activities include day and night game drives, professionally guided bush and bird walks, nature enlightenment, as well as cultural activities highlighting authentic community involvement.

Tintswalo Lodge staff are always on duty and leisure time on your South Africa safari may be spent enjoying the many activities, at rest or relaxing at the Clarins Spa enjoying select beauty treatments or pampering by qualified therapists. Weather permitting, outdoor dining, moonlight sleep outs and Shangaan stargazing are also available on this South Africa safari.

Tintswalo is a private concession within the 23 000 hectare Manyeleti reserve. Guides escort guests on game viewing drives and share their wealth of knowledge on folk lore, bush legends, the medicinal properties of fauna and flora, ornithology and entomology as well as the fascinating lives and habits of the game species to be found in and around Manyeleti.

Game viewing on a South Africa safari is enjoyed in luxury individually seated open Land Rovers with trained FGASA accredited guides and trained trackers. Night drives are equally as exciting, as 30% of African wildlife is seen at night. Only red filtered spotlights are used, to avoid disturbing the animals during the South Africa safari. Visits to local authentic communities, where some of the staff reside, can be arranged.

In addition to the inclusive activities on your South Africa safari, Elephant-back safaris can be arranged at an additional cost, as well as visits to the Cheetah research foundation, panorama route excursions and scenic flights.
