Tintswalo Safari Lodge Overview
Tintswalo Safari Lodge is one of the most relaxing and beautiful places of accommodation in the Manyeleti Game Reserve, with everything you require from private plunge pools to hands-on personal service.
The Tintswalo Safari Lodge is a quiet and peaceful place with a total of only seven well-appointed suites. Choose one of the six beautifully-styled standard suites, or perhaps arrange yourself an extremely luxurious getaway in the magnificent and ultra-spacious Presidential Suite. The Presidential Suite offers guests complete exclusivity with their own safari vehicle and dedicated chef and butler. Here you can determine your own itinerary, and enjoy lots of space and room amenities, such as DSTV and a playstation. Families are welcome to come and enjoy a fabulous vacation in this suite.
The other six suites are all very spacious, and are equipped with air conditioning, as the summer heat can become fairly intense. They have lovely en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers. Many guests really enjoy spending time in the outdoor showers as it is such a free feeling to be a little less enclosed whilst under the spray of clean water! Guests also have the privilege of enjoying private plunge pools on their outside decks. There is no better way to spend the afternoon than in your private pool with a favourite drink viewing the animals at the lodge’s waterhole. Elephants, as well as many other animals, wander by along the dry riverbed.
To get to the main lodge building from your suite you will follow a raised wooden pathway. At the beautifully designed and decorated lodge you will dine in the restaurant, and have the opportunity to enjoy the best wines from the extensive wine cellar. You are welcome in the main lounge area that has a warm and romantic fireplace. The lodge has an intimate safari library and a spa as well.

Reviews
“The lodge is beautiful and service impeccable. It is intimate and private with just the right mix of socialisation with other guests. The staff are genuine and professional and nothing is too much trouble. A very special thanks to Ronel and Sharmaine and also the chef who prepared a wonderful surprise birthday cake for my husband delivered with the staff singing happy birthday. The twice daily safaris were more than we could have hoped for.” –LangersAus

The food was supreme and what a treat to have dinner in the cellar and breakfast in the riverbed with elephants as our guest.” –joeybe2
