Gwalagwala ….. discovering the
wild naturally.
4 Star Gwalagwala, a luxury tented
lodge, is owned and staffed by individuals who are sincere in their
desire to share with their guests their passion and understanding of the
African bush. They are sensitive to the guests needs and are flexible
enough to accommodate most. Guests are invited to rediscover their
connections with nature. They are proud to offer experiences including
the Big 5 and beyond. Gwalagwala is located in the Mpumalanga
/ Limpopo Province Lowveld just outside the Timbavati / Klaserie Nature
Reserve. The Reserve is some 40 minutes’ drive from the Kruger National
Park. Gwalagwala is a reserve of approximately 500 ha. It has a
variety of ecosystems with at least seven plant communities having been
identified. The Klaserie River forms the Eastern boundary of the
Reserve. The Drakensberg Escarpment provides breathtaking views to the
west.
Activities are geared to enable guests
to get the most out of their bushveld experience. Itineraries are
usually custom designed to meet the guest’s requirements. Game viewing,
bush walking and bird watching are the three main activities at
Gwalagwala. Bird life is both prolific and varied and Gwalagwala have
enhanced this experience by positioning bird hides at waterholes.
Gwalagwala offers guests the opportunity
of enjoying a safe walking safari. A Game Drive on a Big Five reserve is
included in the daily itinerary (included in daily rates), which takes
place on neighbouring Thornybush Game Reserve. The guests will be
accompanied by a professional ranger, in open vehicles. All tents have large en suite bathrooms
with a dressing room area. All are built on wooden platforms off the
ground with verandas. All double tents have private bush seating areas.
Bedrooms are insect proof and equipped with a fan, insect pads and
repellents, torches, hairdryers and tea/coffee facilities. In winter,
heaters and electric blankets are provided. All linen and towels
(including swimming towels) are provided, together with walking sticks
and umbrellas. Each tent has a refrigerator with mineral water and can
be stocked to the guest’s specifications as a honesty bar.
