Sharing an unfenced boundary with the renowned Kruger National Park, the pristine private Manyeleti Game Reserve is home to the luxurious Tintswalo Safari Lodge. Boasting one of the lowest vehicle densities in the Greater Kruger, Tintswalo Safari Lodge guests are spoiled to uninterrupted game viewing experiences in an untouched African wilderness. The lodge suites are authentically decorated to reflect the intricate luxuries of colonial times and evoke the adventures of 19th-century explorers after which they’re named.
I had the greatest pleasure in popping in on my recent bush break, to have a look around and enjoy an al fresco lunch, with a couple of elephants. The lodge excludes old world charm with antiquated interiors.
My brief visit had me begging for more – and when I went onto the site I was very surprised by the value in their rates, in comparison to other 5* lodges in the area. They also have a ‘pay your holiday off’ option where you can pay the holiday off through interest free instalments!
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 guarantees uninterrupted, intimate encounters with a great variety of animals, including sightings of 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 2-bedroom Grant Family Suite. Travellers are accommodated in these luxuriously decorated suites which reflect 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 the privacy to relax and soak up the African sun and wilderness from the comfort of their suite.
