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 Kalahari has populations of both black and white rhino which are thriving under the protection of our conservation team. Rhinos are identified by notches in their ears as well as microchips under the skin and in the horns, to assist in combating the illegal trade in rhino horn. Here our guests have the opportunity to follow and participate with Conservation Director Gus van Dyk and his team in the important process of ear notching.
