Tutwa Desert Lodge
Tutwa Desert Lodge is situated on 16 000 hectares of Private Game Reserve, in between the barren Green Kalahari and mighty Orange River in the Northern Cape. The cool, spacious interiors of the lodge provide an oasis of tranquil luxury and offer a unique and private wildlife experience. The colours of Tutwa Lodge are organic and muted, with polished floors, high ceilings and original artworks. Natural game paths pass the lodge, and it’s likely antelope, giraffe, zebra and other African game may wander past.
Area Info
Situated in the remote, North Eastern mineral-rich region of South Africa, and bordering on the border of Namibia’s border the Northern Cape is a vast, sparsely populated region of wide-open spaces, spectacular scenery, and ancient heritage.
Tutwa is actively engaged in a leopard protection project, in addition to other conservation initiatives aimed to conserve the natural flora and fauna of this fragile environment. The lodge is also committed to conservation on the Orange River, as Tutwa's river activities and excursions offer guests world-class adventure in a pristine wilderness area.
What the Northern Cape lacks in people, it gains invaluable natural resources, particularly diamonds. These are found in the east of the province at Kimberley and the extreme west of Alexander Bay. Tutwa is situated in a region referred to as the Green Kalahari.
Essentially a scenic region where Klipspringer and Kokerboom (quiver trees) stand in stark silhouette against the African sky, silent sentinels in a strangely unique environment where only those who have been able to adapt, have survived.
The Northern Cape is known largely for its annual display of wildflowers, a popular tourist attraction bringing thousands of visitors to this magnificent region to enjoy this annual spectacle.
The Northern Cape is also a popular destination for adventure enthusiasts and travelers alike. Renowned for fantastic and diverse adventure activities encompassing both the Orange River and the desert regions, it's not surprising that the Northern Cape has claimed its spot as South Africa's premier incentive and corporate travel destination.
