The lodge is situated along a seasonal river bed among 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 luxury Explorer Suites and Presidential Suite are all linked to the main lodge by raised wooden walkways. 

Besides incredible game viewing and luxury accommodation there is also the Vital Source Spa where guests will have the opportunity to relax, unwind and let one's mind, body and soul be pampered.

Tintswalo in the Shngaan language means the intangible feeling of love, gratitude and peace that you bestow upon someone who has given you a meaningful and worthy gift. That is what guests will experience!
