Built from organic materials and outfitted to the highest standards, they manifest the warmth and hospitality of the people of the Kalahari.Designed and sited to make the best of Tswalu’s dramatic and expansive views, Tarkuni provides exclusivity, privacy, and unfettered access to one of southern Africa’s last true wildernesses.
Rooms
The private suites include a spacious bedroom with king-size or twin beds, a luxurious bathroom with a bath and outdoor shower, and comfortable seating and study areas. The suites embrace the natural outdoor experience with organic-shaped flowing outdoor decks off the bedrooms and the addition of natural Kalahari stone walls to add privacy and seclusion to each deck space.
The sunny decks lead onto private terraces with daybeds which can be made up as evening star-beds for guests who would like to experience the thrill of sleeping under the vast Kalahari skies.
