The Tswalu Foundation (TF) was created as a result of the forward thinking and love of the Kalahari by Mr Jonathan Oppenheimer in 2008.
His founding vision for the Foundation was to develop a platform on which local and international visitors could contribute and involve themselves in community and environmental research on Tswalu Kalahari.

The Kalahari system is a unique, vast and understudied area, thus this Foundation assists in developing research programs and protocols and therefore assists in the development of a better understanding of its unique fauna and flora in a direct, hands-on manner. The establishment of the Foundation is fundamental in not only developing a greater appreciation for the beauty of the Kalahari and its abundant wildlife, but also provides encouragement and support to gain knowledge to better manage this unique part of Africa. In short the Foundation is structured to provide funding and support to all aspects of nature conservation and community development on Tswalu through the involvement of individuals and organizations interested in conserving and understanding this system.
We strongly encourage guests and friends of Tswalu to become involved in the Tswalu Foundation. For more information on initiating, funding, or carrying out research projects please contact or .
