Tswalu
Kalahari, South Africa, Africa
Amid dramatic dunescapes on South Africa's largest game reserve in the Kalahari, Tswalu's foundation supports conservation work reversing years of damage from farming, providing education and healthcare to the families that live on the reserve. Spot black-maned lions and aardvark by day, and stargaze on your deck by night, where your private guide hosts first-class comfort in one of the two lodges.
Bouteco loves: Challenging though it is in the Kalahari, rather than add to the carbon footprint by transporting food over long distances, Tswalu grows fresh produce and continues to investigate sustainable approaches to small scale horticulture. Combining traditional techniques with modern, minimal water irrigation techniques has enabled them to reduce their food supply radius while providing the kitchen with new inspiration. Nourishment extends to providing the ideal educational foundation for staff members’ children and Adult Basic Education and Training programmes assist team members with literacy and gaining formal recognition for their skills and knowledge.
