Tintswalo Manor

Tintswalo Manor is a five-bedroom safari villa a few minutes' drive from Tintswalo Safari in the Manyeleti Nature Reserve, which is unfenced from the Kruger National Park. It is booked on an exclusive-use basis only, for families or friends of up to ten, and comes with its own chef, butler, guide, tracker and ten-seater game drive vehicle.

Each of the five king or twin suites has a full en-suite bathroom, including an outdoor bath. Around them are a lounge and kitchen, a large patio, a pool, a boma and bar, and a sleep-out deck for a night under the stars.

The Manor is especially good with children: young guests get their own programme, from a goody bag and activity book to tracking and bush walks inside the fenced camp, and babysitting can be arranged. Game drives run twice a day in search of the Big Five, cheetah and wild dog.
