When to visit Tswalu Kalahari
The Tswalu Kalahari Reserve is spectacular any time of year, but undoubtedly our favorite time to visit is the winter (June to August) when sightings of Aardvark and Pangolin increase. The clear evenings result in a sky powdered with stars. The days are pleasantly warm and at night you can get cozy around an open fireplace.
