    Presidential Suite

    The Presidential Suite is also decorated in the same elegant way as the luxury suites, but offers comfortable accommodation for a small family or two couples.

    The two-bedroom suite is connected to the main lodge by a raised walkway, offering more privacy but remaining close by. The two air-conditioned rooms are connected by a beautiful lounge, dining and open plan kitchen area, and each room has individual indoor/outdoor showers and spacious en suite bathrooms.

    The large private deck has a plunge pool while the lounge has satellite and a Play Station. Presidential guests enjoy their own private safari vehicle, private guide and tracker, and private chef and butler, creating an exclusive experience that is tailored to your needs.

    • Tintswalo Safari Lodge Suite

      Explorer Suite

      The rooms at Tintswalo are all individually designed and decorated to reflect the pioneering era of the 19th century African explorers, and each suite is named after one of these historical figures.

      Situated along the banks of the seasonal Nwaswitsontso River, each of the six suites offers supreme comfort and privacy with either an extra-length double bed or two twins, spacious en suite bathroom, and in indoor/outdoor shower.

      Relax on your private deck on one of the comfortable loungers or cool off in your own plunge pool while overlooking the river bed and magnificent Sycamore groves.

      General Facilities

      The main lodge has a small, but exclusive, library that holds many rare books and creates a cosy atmosphere for quiet, evening reading.

      The wine cellar is also worth a browse, especially if you feel like picking out your own wine to accompany your evening meal.

      The Vital Source Spa is slightly removed from the main lodge and brings you professional, internationally trained therapists to relax your muscles and rejuvenate your senses.
