It’s most unusual for luxury hotels and safari lodges to offer discounts and special offers during the peak Christmas holiday season, but as we all know, 2021 turned out to be a most unusual year in many ways!
In the wake of the devastating and disappointing international flight bans introduced in response to the identification of the Omicron Covid strain, a tsunami of hotel cancellations has come in from international travellers. Many of them were planning to spend their end-of-the-year break in the African sun, whilst lots of South Africans in turn were looking forward to long-awaited family reunions and holidays overseas.
These offers for SADC residents are set to them ‘tick their bucket lists’, whether it is by booking a luxurious seaside break with their loved ones at the iconic Tintswalo Atlantic and Tintswalo at Boulders Boutique Villa in Cape Town, or a once-in-a-lifetime safari at Tintswalo Safari Lodge in the greater Kruger region, or in the malaria-free Waterberg at Tintswalo Lapalala and the Tintswalo Family Camp at Welgevonden Nature Reserve.
Valid during peak season for travel until 15 January 2022, locals now qualify for up to 50% discount. Special fly-in deals are also available with Cemair, flying directly into the bush landing at Hoedspruit from Johannesburg or Cape Town, with a quick road transfer to Tintswalo Safari Lodge.
Tintswalo Lodges is an exquisite collection of five family-owned and run properties situated in unique locations within South Africa.

Located in idyllic, remote locations close to nature, each lodge offers privacy and exclusivity. Here the clean, fresh air affords the opportunity to escape, connect with nature and relax in a stress-free natural environment where there are no crowds.
All Tintswalo lodges have child-friendly accommodation options too, making them ideal destinations for families to spend quality time together. Wifi is offered throughout to make Tintswalo’s lodges ideal destinations for both relaxation and working remotely. Private dining is available if preferred, and in addition to swimming pools, the bush lodges also feature private plunge pools at each guest suite.
Perched on a pebbled beach at the foot of the Table Mountain National Park, directly overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the award-winning Tintswalo Atlantic boutique lodge is renowned as one of Cape Town’s most precious hidden gems.
