The word Tintswalo is a Shangaan word that holds the very essence of this philosophy - "The intangible feeling of love, gratitude and peace that you bestow upon someone who has given you a meaningful and worthy gift".

The gift? Ah ha, this is where the story becomes interesting. Sun burnished low veld, endless azure skies, the beat of another day in the African bush loses a degree or two as the herd of elephants stride purposefully towards the river. How did the pride of lions get so close unseen? To experience this is to grow, learn and understand.

This is the gift of magnanimous proportions we as humans have been granted through the observations of Mother Nature at work. The Tintswalo Group brings this gift into vivid reality for us to experience.

With three different lodges, each tastefully decorated to either islands around the world, Equestrian breeds or travellers of history, Tintswalo glorifies what we value most, excellence.

Each suite of every lodge is creatively decorated with either magnificent views or fine living, you'll be enchanted to stay a while.

Imagine that you are watching the African sun set over the western horison from the Tintswalo Atlantic deck, or the stars awaken in their festive chatter in the bush veld with the call of a lion not so far away, or you sit with an open view of the far off Magaliesberg in front of you while you enjoy fabulous cuisine, you remain in utter awe as a feeling of elation, humility and gratitude well up within.

We have all been given the gift, now it's our time to acknowledge the effect.
