Once the Oppenheimer family home at Tswalu, Tarkuni Homestead offers a natural, home from home bush camp feel with understated elegance and, a sense of luxury, relaxation and tranquillity. With your own private chef and guide, guests experience comfort and an incredible sense of space in their own secluded piece of the Kalahari.

Located in a secluded valley below the Korannaberg mountains, Tarkuni is our exclusive-use, private homestead with luxury accommodation for a maximum of 10 guests in 5 suites. All the accommodation is under one roof, making the homestead ideal for families with children of all ages or a group of friends. Tarkuni becomes your private home for the duration of your stay with a dedicated host and private chef on hand to take care of every detail from dining to safari activities. The homestead also comes with a private safari vehicle, guide and tracker.

The entire homestead has been thoughtfully redesigned with sustainability in mind. All the bedrooms have spacious bathrooms and private verandahs. A graciously proportioned lounge and dining room with a feature back-to-back fireplace leads onto a deep, shaded veranda for easy, relaxed living around the water-wise plunge pool or at the sundowner fire pit. There is an intimate boma for barbecue dinners under the stars and a gazebo for massages or afternoon naps. There is also a spa treatment suite. Guests staying at Tarkuni have access to the Gym, Photographic Studio and the Gallery, a boutique stocked with art, jewellery, clothing and souvenirs, all located at the Motse.
