The Motse is Tswalu's main game reserve accommodation, and nestles at the foot of the Korannaberg mountain range, facing westward across the grasslands of the Kalahari. Motse' is a Tswana word meaning 'village' - Tswana is one of South Africas 11 official languages and is spoken in Southern Africa including the Northern Cape.

Designed to blend inconspicuously into the mountain range surrounding the game reserve, the Motse consists of eight spacious legae (a Tswana word for small house/suite), all designed with a distinct African feel while remaining elegant and stylish.

The legaes are built of local stone, rich red clay and typical Kalahari thatch roofs, and altogether can accommodate a maximum of 20 people.

Six of the legaes are for two guests each, while two legaes were designed with families in mind, each accommodating four people. As an added bonus for any game reserve in South Africa, each legae overlooks a game watering hole.

Each suite comprises a spacious bedroom, an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor walk-in shower, large private lounge with an open fireplace, private sun deck overlooking a waterhole, direct dial telephone, safe, mini bar and outdoor heated swimming pool. This is luxury game reserve accommodation at its best.

Dining at Tswalu offers guests many choices: meals can be enjoyed either in the dining room or in the privacy of the lounge contained in each suite. Of course, some would argue that luxury African safaris are simply not complete without a dining experience under the stars, in Tswalu's traditional African boma.

At the main house in the Motse, guests can relax in the spacious lounge leading onto a patio overlooking the outdoor heated swimming pool and pool terrace. Other facilities include a walk-in wine cellar stocked with South African wines, a mezzanine library with TV/satellite, Dimpho (a gift shop) and Jwa Bana (children's room).
