This is a very special combination of 2 extraordinary lodges. Morukuru Ocean House is an incredible beautiful lodge, located in the pristine and remote De Hoop Reserve. Despite it being only 3 hours by road or 45 min by plane from Cape Town, it feels you are completely off the grid (in this case it is also literally). The Ocean House is comfortable and probably one of the best places to spend quality time with a family or group of friends. The nearby situated Beach Lodge only has 5 rooms and here you will also experience the intimacy of a small lodge.
Tswalu, 2 hours by plane from Cape Town, and therefore easily reached, is the only luxury lodge in the vast and dramatic Kalahari Desert. This completely different landscape offers wildlife unlike anywhere else. Here also you will be hundreds of KMs away from anything else. Tarkuni, the private villa with also 5 suites, is similar to Ocean House in creating a perfect getaway for a family or group of friends. Imagine this luxury villa in one of the continent’s most isolated National Parks. Nearby Tarkuni you can find The Motse, 9 luxury suites where you will be staying when travelling with 1 or 2 couples.
Below here you will find some more details on the properties. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Morukuru Ocean
The idyll Morukuru Family retreats offer the perfect environments to reconnect with friends and family, get back to nature and experience an escape in the truest sense of the word – say goodbye to schedules and outside interferences. The Ocean House sits within the De Hoop Nature Reserve; 3 hours by car from Cape Town. This private home enjoys the services of a private guide and tracker, chef, butler, hostess and housekeeper – a nanny can be arranged as required.
In the company of experienced guides, activities are tailored to suit the family’s individual requirements – sip sundowners on the beach, go sand boarding or see the wildlife by bike or 4X4.
Tswalu
In an increasingly busy world, many are seeking two elusive luxuries: silence and space. Indulge in an abundance of both at Tswalu Kalahari Reserve in the southern region of South Africa’s Kalahari savanna. With your private home or in the lodge with a maximum of 18 guests at any given time, Tswalu feels like your own private and vast grassland paradise. But you are far from alone: on safaris and tracking expeditions, meet majestic black-maned lions, black and white rhinos, zebras, leopards, and a wealth of other rare and endangered species. You are on their turf now.
