Staff cater to the visitors every need - there are no set times for anything, and travellers determine the pace of their visit
Family
Unlike many other luxury African game reserves, Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is a place where children are gladly welcomed. With a range of fun activities and accommodation especially suited to kids, this is a place where your children will feel stimulated, happy and above all, at home.

A visit to Twalu is one that is highly educational, but without the boredom of sitting in a stuffy classroom. While on game drives and bush walks, children will be able to learn fascinating lessons about wildlife, birdlife and vegetation from our knowledgeable rangers. However, we know that mom and dad are bound to need some solitude during long and languid Tswalu afternoons, so to keep the tiny tots occupied, children will have access to a wealth of colouring-in books and crayons.

Because Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is in a malaria-free area, there is no need to worry about preventative malaria medication for yourself or your little ones.

Children's accommodation comprises two sets of bunk beds, sleeping four. Nannies room accommodation comprises of two single beds and bathroom on suite. A private game viewing vehicle and a dedicated Chef allow the luxury of flexibility. Children aged 12 and under stay free.
