Wonderful place. We had an absolutely amazing stay, from start to finish. Saw every kind of animal and the guides and staff could not be faulted. The food was incredible as well, and nothing was too much trouble.

This hotel is amazing with everything you need for a safari vacation We stayed in explorer suite and the decorations were flawless. Your stay includes 2 daily safari at dawn and dusk, the guide is very informative and they are extremely safe. During the safari you embark to see the big5 , in your journey you will stop over for some nice treats. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and make the stay very special. They have elephants that regularly visit the property.

Had the most wonderful safari experience. Every day was an adventure and the staff went out of their way to make sure your stay was perfect. Our guide Christoff was knowledgable and a joy! The accommodation was idyllic. Could not speak highly enough of Tintswalo.

The trip was amazing. We were supposed to stay at Imbali, but we got a cancellation text day of check-in. We ended up staying at Tintswalo Lodge instead. Dave and Eric were our guide and tracker. They are amazing people and we learned so much from them. It was my wife's birthday and one day we went back to out room and a gift was waiting for her. We want to thank everyone at Tintswalo for making our stay so memorable. We feel like part of the family and look forward to seeing them again.

What a fantastic experience! The staff at Tintswalo were more than accomadating. They recognized our honeymoon with a private wine cellar dinner and spa lunch! We are both big foodies as well! The dining was exquisite. The game viewing in the Manyeleti was superb. Both of the Tintswalo guides Christof and Allister worked tirelessly to find the big 5. They went out of their way with additional hikes. My wife and I were particularly thrilled following the lioness and her pride while we watched other competing males enter their territory. Thank you to our guide Christof, our spotter Happy, our butlers Shermaine and Kenneth, and the coordinating staff Emily and Simoné. Thank you!!

We came here for the first leg of our honeymoon and were blown away! First - the staff really cares and is motivated to make your stay perfect. They cater to your every need and request. The guide and tracker really make your trip. Tell them what you hope to see and they'll do their best to make it a reality. Andrew was our guide and he couldn't have been better for us. Our luck in animal sightings was abnormally good - we were fortunate enough to see EVERY animal that we came to see. This is unusual so do not be disappointed if you do not see everything - our friends who have been to South Africa multiple times said it just depends on animal behavior. We also liked that Tintswalo did not overcrowd their game drive vehicles as other nearby camps seemed to do. Dinner settings changed every night and they kept us entertained and excited. Extremely clean facility

This is the most wonderful place we have ever been (frequent Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz Carlton guests) - the service at Tintswalo was equal or better to these great five star hotel chains. Wonderful experience - authentic setting - unbeatable hospitality - everyone strived to ensure that we were happy and that we had everything we needed. We were so sad to leave and can't wait to be back!!!!

I recomend this lodge a 100%. Every thing was perfect, rooms, food, etc and the staff very friendly. Andrew was our game guide and was incredible. And Pardon the tracker was very nice. We saw the big five many times and a leopard hunting a baby impala.
