Condé Nast Traveler has announced the results of its 37th Readers’ Choice Awards, which this year, includes two of Tintswalo’s iconic properties in South Africa.
Tintswalo Safari in the Greater Kruger area was cited as one of Condé Nast Traveler readers’ ‘favourite places to view wildlife in South Africa’ and was scored at 96.49 to take the 7th place in the prestigious line up of Top Resorts in South Africa.
Facing stiff competition in the Top Hotels in South Africa category, Tintswalo Atlantic was ranked in 12th place with a score of 95.83. Condé Nast Traveler describes the Cape Town hotel as ‘perched on stilts between ancient milkwood trees, the wood-and-glass suites are so close to the pounding waves that it’s possible to toss pebbles into the rock pools from your private deck.’
More than 575,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the United States submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they anticipate revisiting. The 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards, with its legacy as the travel industry’s longest running and most prestigious accolades, remain the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector, including resorts, hotels, cruises, spas and islands.
Tintswalo’s unique bush lodges and beach boutique hotels are situated in some of South Africa’s most magnificent and unspoiled locations. Lisa Goosen, the CEO of Tintswalo Collection says: ‘We are delighted to add the prestigious 2024 Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards to our list of accolades and are proud to offer our guests a unique Tintswalo experience to showcase our beautiful country.’

The Tintswalo Collection
The Tintswalo Collection comprises of six family-owned and managed properties situated in five unique locations, stretching from the beach to the bush, across Southern Africa. Perched oceanside on a pebbled beach at the foot of Chapmans Peak, the award-winning boutique hotel, Tintswalo Atlantic is surrounded by the Table Mountain National Park, and is renowned as one of Cape Town’s most precious hidden gems. In Simon’s Town on the southern side of the Cape Peninsula, Tintswalo Boulders is located on Boulders Beach with views across the world-famous colony of endangered African penguins. Sharing an unfenced boundary with the Kruger National Park, Tintswalo Safari is hidden within the pristine Manyeleti Private Nature Reserve, known for some of the best game viewing in South Africa. In the same private concession, Tintswalo Manor offers a luxurious, fully-catered private lodge for families or small groups seeking a tailor-made stay on an exclusive-use basis. Only three hours’ drive from Johannesburg, Tintswalo Waterberg is a comfortable family-friendly or corporate safari retreat within Limpopo’s malaria-free Welgevonden Game Reserve, complete with the option of a kosher kitchen. In Zambia, Tintswalo Siankaba presents an authentic African adventure with luxury tented accommodation on two small, private islands in the mighty Zambezi River.
