Tswalu offers every photographer and film-maker a unique chance to capture their own observations of the Kalahari. But the desert and its eco-system are too complex to be defined in one image or film. The dunes and the grasslands hold too many secrets; the landscape can change in an instant with the first drops of rain.
Tswalu’s population represents one third of South Africa’s entire remaining, critically endangered Desert Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis). Their conservation and protection is a success story we are very proud of at Tswalu.
Even though their eye sight is relatively poor, Rhino’s have got an incredible sense of smell and will respond to human scent from approximately 800 meters. Join one of our Field Guides, Christo De Jager, and some of our recent guests as their adrenaline surges while in search of this magnificent mammal in its natural environment.
