Set in the exclusive Manyeleti Game Reserve, the Tintswalo Safari Lodge & Manor House borders the Timbavati, Kruger National Park and Sabi Sands. It’s South Africa’s most pristine wildlife area where animals roam free – and with only three lodges located in this reserve, it’s perfectly secluded. If you’re coming to Africa for the wild animals – Tintswalo Safari Lodge & Manor House is for you!
