Manyeleti Reserve

Situated on a private Manyeleti Reserve concession, within the Greater Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga province. A pristine wilderness reserve nestled between the Sabi Sands, Timbavati and Kruger Park, abounding in big five game and spectacular bird life. The area is unique for its minimal vehicle density and so offering a true exclusive safari experience.

Tintswalo in the Shangaan language means the intangible feeling of love, gratitude and peace that you bestow upon someone who has given you a meaningful and worthy gift. This is what guest’s experience!

Activities

Tintswalo’s schedule is arranged around you and a typical day could begin with early morning game-viewing, breakfast in the bush, more game-viewing, an al fresco lunch or high tea and leisure time at the lodge. You can browse around the small but exclusive library of rare books or relax completely in their Vital Source Spa. Visits to surrounding areas and attractions can be arranged at an additional charge.

Afternoon game-viewing follows with a sunset sun-downer stop, thereafter, your day will be completed with a superb candlelit dinner. They go out of their way to allow guests to dine privately, but can dine with other guests. You will never dine in the same place twice!

Game viewing at Tintswalo takes place on foot or in individually seated open game vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with spot lights for night viewing, radios for communication, mosquito repellent, ponchos for wet weather and individual blankets for the night chill. A canvas bag containing binoculars, reference books and treats is also placed on each seat for your use.

Walks in the reserve are guided through the ever changing environment of the African bush. This experience allows the guest the opportunity to come away with information on wildlife, nature enlightenment and insight into the local Shangaan traditions - this is only obtainable with an ‘on the ground’ experience.

All the experienced and professional guides are accredited and they are always accompanied by skilled trackers who know their surrounding well.

Stargaze with guides and trackers well versed in the folklore of the Shangaan people who revere the stars with the aid of a powerful Mead telescope.

Private birding or photographic safari’s are also available on request.
