The Tintswalo Collection will be expanding into the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve when it opens Tintswalo Scops Rest in September 2025. The 4-bedroomed luxury bush villa, named after the Scops Owl which occurs in the area, will accommodate a group of up to eight guests on an exclusive-use basis. It joins three other safari products within the Tintswalo Collection, spread across three of South Africa’s premier conservation areas, including the Manyeleti and Welgevonden nature reserves.
Family-friendly Tintswalo Scops Rest guests will enjoy the dedicated services of a private chef and butler, two daily safari activities in a private game drive vehicle, and full board hospitality. With spacious living areas, a large patio, and a private pool overlooking the wilderness, it promises the perfect setting for unforgettable bush escapes with all the comforts of home combined with the luxury of a premier safari lodge. For an exhilarating sleep-out experience, guests may also book their choice of two private tree houses, one overlooking a dam and the other secluded within a forest.
The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve was established more than 50 years ago when 36 farm owners merged their land to unite. Today the Big 5 reserve boasts unfenced boundaries onto the Kruger National Park and the transboundary Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area. Its 60,000 hectares of pristine wilderness is part of a greater, free-flowing ecosystem that conserves biodiversity, protects endangered species, and supports the sustainable future of local communities.
