Set in a densely wooded valley, the lodge has been thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with its lush surroundings, offering guests an intimate connection with nature. Perfectly balancing style and substance, Tshwene Lodge caters to those seeking relaxed luxury and exceptional wildlife sightings. Surrounded by dramatic rocky outcrops, the lodge is a secluded oasis in the rugged valley of the Taaibos River.
