Safari Houses of South Africa - for African family safaris (part 2)
Continuing my blog about exclusive use Safari Houses which are perfect for family safaris or family vacations in South Africa. Today I’m going to talk about Tintswalo Manor..
Tintswalo Manor House
Tintswalo Manor House is a little gem of a place in the Manyeleti Private Game Reserve (with open borders into the Kruger National Park). The Manor House is a rather a grand name for a comfortable, rather than luxurious, private homestead in the bush overlooking an active waterhole. There are two reasons why I particularly like this lodge. Firstly it is not over-decorated and really does feel like home from home. It’s the sort of place that you and I might have if we owned a private lodge in the bush (!) – not at all pretentious with a relaxed feel about it. There are five bedrooms, one of which is accessed from the outside so that it’s ideal for a teenager or a nanny, wishing for more privacy. Another bedroom is only suitable as a children’s bedroom as its not en suite and is decorated in that way. The second reason is its reasonable pricing policy. It’s priced per person assuming a minimum of just four people, unlike most private safari houses which are priced per lodge. This means that it is still affordable even if only 5 or 6 people take the lodge, even though it can sleep up to 10.
