The name itself sounds powerful and magical. This land of Mount Kenya is a country of diverse tribes, multiple languages and breathtaking African landscapes. In fact, the Republic of Kenya is named after its famous mountain. The earliest recorded version of the modern name was written by German explorer Johann Ludwig Krapf in the 19th century. While travelling with a Kamba caravan led by the legendary long-distance trader Chief Kivoi, Krapf spotted the mountain peak and asked what it was called. Kivoi told him "Kĩ-Nyaa" or "Kĩĩma- Kĩĩnyaa", probably because the pattern of black rock and white snow on its peaks reminded him of the feathers of the male ostrich.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]This became Kenya.

Tswalu’s overall purpose is to leave our world better than how they found it, and they do this through restoring the Kalahari landscape and bringing it back to its own natural beauty. With conservation at its core, Tswalu offers the Motse and Tarkuni lodges, exquisitely designed and decorated, making the best of the vast expanses of the beautiful Kalahari. The Motse is a secluded ‘village’ of nine houses, each with an open viewing deck and open fireplace. Enjoy the comfort and privateness that each room offers.
