Overview of The Motse at Tswalu
Located on the edge of the Kalahari Desert in a remote corner of northern South Africa, Motse is set in Tswalu Private Game Reserve, the largest privately owned reserve in the country. Motse is also Fair Trade accredited and the recipient of a number of awards, including National Geographic Adventure’s Top 50 Eco Lodges and the Spa Awards.
A stay here is all about experiencing the wonders of the Kalahari in luxury and in comfort. Relax and unwind at the Sanctuary Spa, around the swimming pool or in the comfort of your suite. If you have children with you, let them be entertained on fascinating bush walks, star-gazing trips and sleep outs. Motse offers amazing Kalahari game viewing, rewarding birdwatching and a number of exciting safari activities. Enjoy guided walks across the dunes, game drives in open-air safari vehicles, hot air ballooning, and trips to Bushmen rock engravings sites in and around the reserve.
