Remarkable, Rare Creatures
& Incomparable Culinary Excellence

Rare and elusive species – including those absent from most parks – call Tswalu Kalahari Game Reserve home. Aardvark, pangolin, bat-eared fox, brown hyena and aardwolf are joined by black-maned lion, leopard, wild dog and cheetah. Considering the harsh landscape, the diversity and concentration of wildlife is unexpected and humbling. Here, conventional notions of luxury are replaced by the abundance of time and space amongst rust-orange dunes where sunsets and sunrises transport your soul. The authenticity and intimacy in this mystical wilderness are practically indescribable. Still, sensory seduction continues with dining at Klein JAN where every ingredient has a purpose and place – the first restaurant on home soil of Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, chef and patron of Michelin-star Restaurant JAN in Nice. Jan Hendrik and La Motte Wine Estate recently launched JAN Franschhoek in a charming 19th-century farmhouse in the estate’s lavender fields.
