Tswalu Foundation

Tswalu is a labor of love for the Oppenheimer family, who took responsibility for this remarkable reserve in 1998 – continuing the vision of the late Stephen Boler, from Manchester in the United Kingdom, whose dream it was to return this land which had been farmed, to its former state. Since then, their commitment to conservation has seen indigenous species re-introduced, and real strides made towards the restoration of the Kalahari, and the undoing of years of neglect

Tswalu is a conservation-in-progress. Damage caused by previous, farming endeavors is being repaired, with fences and structures being removed, and natural processes are being restored
