Tintswalo is an exclusive safari lodge under traditional thatch, siituated on the private Manyeleti Reserve concession, within the Greater Kruger National Park. A pristine wilderness reserve nestled between the Sabi Sand, Timbavati and Kruger Park, abounding in Big 5 game and spectacular bird life, the Manyeleti is unique for its minimal vehicle traffic and offers a truly exclusive safari experience.

Tintswalo is situated along a seasonal river bed amongst an ancient sycamore tree grove. The exquisitely appointed main lodge overlooks a waterhole frequented by a large herd of elephant and other big game. The suites are linked to the main lodge by raised wooden walkways.

The schedule at the lodge is infinitely flexible, the day's activities are planned around you. A typical day could start with an early morning game drive and perhaps a picnic breakfast. Followed by an al fresco lunch on the main lodge deck and afternoon leisure time to allow for a relaxing treatment in the Elan Vital spa. The evening drive continues into the night, completed by Tintswalo's unique and spectacular sundowner experience, and your day is rounded by an intimate candlelit dinner.

Tintswalo Main Lodge is located in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, on the fenceless eastern boundary of the Kruger National Park.

The Tintswalo suites are authentically decorated to recall the pioneer era of the 19th century African explorers. The air-conditioned suites are situated along the banks of the seasonal Nwaswitsontso River. The rooms provide supreme comfort and privacy, as well as the opportunity to view a large variety of big game and prolific birdlife from the privacy of your suite. An indoor/outdoor shower leads off from a spacious bathroom which opens out onto a private deck. Luxuriate in a private plunge pool or just relax on a lounger under the African sun.
