Fodor's Expert Review The Motse
Farm Korannaberg 296, Van Zylsrus, Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, Northern Cape, 8467, South Africa Fodor's Choice
Antelope often wander by Tswalu's exquisite main lodge, where the communal area features a series of terraced indoor and outdoor lounges that spill down to a pair of pools and a floodlit watering hole and where guest quarters consist of beautiful, freestanding, thatch-and-stone suites, known as "legae." The decor is minimalist and infinitely stylish, echoing the landscape in color and texture and incorporating local stone and wood, interesting art and artifacts, and unique light fixtures. The atmosphere, like the magical Kalahari surroundings is enchanting, and the service is intuitive and warm-hearted. The lodge is also resoundingly child-friendly and flexible, allowing you to set your own agenda (for example, having breakfast and lunch served whenever and wherever you wish).
PROS
- you feel immersed in the surroundings from the moment you arrive
- gorgeous, bespoke room decor
- special children's room and babysitting services and nannies available
CONS
- as it's child friendly, you might want to request a room away from the communal areas
- hard to leave your cosseting quarters for game drives (worth it, though)
- you will need very, very deep pockets for a stay at this once-in-a-lifetime lodge
