Tswalu Kalahari Reserve

Meaning ‘new beginning’, Tswalu lies at the foot of the Korannaberg Mountains in the Northern Cape Province. It’s the biggest privately owned reserve in South Africa at about 100 000 hectares in size, and offers a unique opportunity to experience the sweeping Kalahari and crimson African sunsets.

When the Oppenheimer family acquired Tswalu, their goal was "to restore the Kalahari to itself" and to make Tswalu one of the premier wildlife destinations in Africa. Today, conservation projects range from butterflies to mole-rats and black rhino research. The rare sable and roan antelope are also bred on Tswalu.
