Gwalagwala - Accommodation in Klaserie Game Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Gwalagwala, owned and run by Ann and Dorian Harcourt-Baldwin is a luxury tented safari camp built near the Timbavati / Klaserie Reserve on the banks of the Klaserie river. This unspoilt gem is a well managed game farm which aims to restore and maintain the enviroment in its natural state. The central boma, ingenuously built amongst the branches of a Jackalberry tree, offers a well stocked bar, kitchen and deck - with cool comfort in the nearby swimming pool and a lounge overlooking the Klaserie River; the perfect setting for  relaxation. The Reserve boasts an abundance of plains game, night animals and excellent birding. Experience the exhilaration of approaching wild game on foot, meander along the many walking trails or join them for an afternoon / evening game drive in an open Landrover on Gwalagwala or go on an exciting Big Five Drive on a neighbouring Reserve.

Gwalagwala Tented Camp accommodation consists of 5 East-African style luxury safari tents on raised wooden platforms, with en-suite bathroom, hot and cold water, electricity and fans to combine privacy and outstanding bush-comfort with everything that nature has to offer. Each unit is fully serviced by Gwalagwala's friendly staff and provides complete privacy for its guests. Evening meals can be enjoyed around a campfire in the lapa (a circular reed enclosure built on traditional African lines as protection against wild animals). A central 'treehouse' is built among Jackalberry and Tamboetie trees, on a wooden platform about 3 metres off the ground. This consists of a bar, breakfast and a reading area. It is a quiet place where guests can discuss the day's excitements or simply sit quietly, listening to the sounds of the bush or bird watching. There is a deep swimming pool around which guests may relax during the heat of the day.

A feast for the senses. Do it on your own or allow us to guide and enjoy it with you, either on foot or in open vehicles. Game drives and guided, educational walks around Gwalagwala are included in the tariffs. Canoe, for bird watching on the dam, is available. Big 5 Game Drives included in the tariff.
