Tintswalo Safari Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Situated within the private and lesser known Manyeleti Reserve on the border of Kruger National Park, Tintswalo Safari Lodge offers an intimate and exclusive safari experience.

Accommodations at the lodge consist of six luxury suites and one presidential suite. Each room here is so unique and full of character, it has its own name. The Baker Suite named after Samuel and Florence Baker has an air of romance and includes a hand-carved four-poster bed. The Kingsley Suite, an homage to spinster explore Mary Kingsley who collected insect and fish samples for the Royal Geographic society is a double or twin room. The Livingstone Suite, I presume is a colonial twin or double. The Burton Suite is an opulent room for the man who translated the Arabian Nights into English. There is also the Speke and Stanley Suites. All rooms have an attached bathroom with beautifully-appointed shower and bath. The Baines Presidential Suite sleeps four and comes with a private game vehicle, ranger, chef, and butler. The suite all enjoy a private deck overlooking the magnificent sycamore groves.

The safari lodge is ideally situated within the Manyeleti Game Reserve. It is nestled amidst the unfenced borders of the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands, and the Timbavati Reserves. This South African reserve flourishes in Big Five game and spectacular birdlife. Manyeleti means place of the star in the local Shangaan language and is owned by the Mnisi Tribe. The stars being the wide array of diverse animals who live here. Nearby Kruger National Park has more mammals than any other game reserve in Africa including 517 species of birds, 147 species of mammals, 114 species of reptiles, 50 species of fish, and 33 species of amphibians.

There are many exciting activities available from the lodge. Since only three lodges are permitted on the Manyeleti Game Reserve, it has less traffic than the other nearby game reserves, thereby providing quieter game drives. Daily game drives are conducted in open, four-wheel drive game viewing vehicles and led by expert rangers. Game walks provide a closer view of the landscape and animals and are conducted by local Shangaan tribesmen. With such a wide variety of bird life living here, it’s the perfect spot for avid bird watchers. For those looking for some more culture, a Manyeleti Community trip offers a two to three-hour excursion to a local community where many of the lodge’s staff lives.

An all-inclusive property, rates include accommodation, all meals, house wine, local beer, soft drinks, teas and coffees, game activities, and one complimentary back and shoulder massage per guest. The Manor House has a full-kitchen. There is also a private pool for relaxing after a dusty game drive. The traditional boma fire is the ideal place for swapping stories over a drink. Children of all ages are welcome to stay here. Those over two may participate in game drives with their families based on prior discussion with guides. Babysitting services and a kid’s program are also available.
