We stayed here for 3 nights and had the best trip of our lives. Besides the game drives begin wonderful, the staff and service was absolutely incredible! I cannot say enough about how well we were treated.

We stayed at Tintswalo Safari Lodge for 3 nights and it was exactly what we were looking for in a safari experience. It was very luxurious but still gave you a certain "South African" vibe, unlike some of the other luxury lodges we were looking at that were too modernized. Our private villa was beautiful, extremely private and enormous! It... More

We stayed with another family in Tintswalo Manor House. It sleeps a maximum of 10 and we had 9 in our group. Going on safari is in fact luxury camping. We were happy to sleep in the nets as you didn't have to worry about any insects on you. The home was comfortable, and the sleeping arrangements worked perfectly. The... More

The Tintswalo Safari Lodge was truly an experience of a lifetime. We had the good fortune of staying at three beautiful lodges during our time in South Africa and our favorite memories we during our stay at Tintswalo. The accommodations were beyond our expectations. A combination of beautiful natural architecture with breath taking style and grace. Every detail in each... More

Tintswalo Safari Lodge was the first safari experience on our trip and it far surpassed our expectations. Tintswalo is a smaller lodge that our travel agent recommended and so we were not sure what to expect. We loved this place. The rooms are all separate chalet suites with full decks and plunge pools. We stayed In the Livingston Suite, which... More

We stayed at the Manor House for four nights. All the staff (cook, housemaid, maitre, gardener) were great. We had great breakfast, lunch and dinner. the boma dinners were special and we loved the lions roaring around us. Our tracker, Obert, and ranger, Jamie, were very proffessional and their knowledge of the animals was impressive. Great animal sightings, lions mating... More

We had the unique opportunity to visit both the Tintswalo Atlantic and their Safari Lodge and would not hesitate to recommend either to anyone. The Safari Lodge was certainly world class. Bordering Kruger Park, the property was tremendous, the staff extremely courteous and the food wonderful. My kids (ages 15/14/10) had the experience of a lifetime. The safari was so... More

A friend of mine recommended that if I was going to Cape Town to look no further than the Tintswalo Atlantic. Well, I took her advise and we booked our reservations at the Atlantic. The view, staff, service and accommodations are second to none. I've traveled extensively around the world and stayed at many resorts and lodges. By far, Tintswalo... More

We spent 3 days here as safari virgins and it was everything and more we could imagine. You are welcomed in a friendly and genuinely warm and enthusiastic way that is infectious and made the whole experience more and more exciting as it went on. There are few enough guest that the staff know you by name and although there... More

We occupied the Stanley suite; all the suites are named and themed after famous explorers eg Livingstone, Speke, Burton etc. Furnishings were opulent, dining excellent, management & staff attentive yet discreet, guides & trackers knowledgeable & obliging, game-viewing superb...
