Bridge & Wickers have come up with the perfect grown-up alternative to the much loved Easter Egg hunt this year: truffle hunting.

Guests are welcomed to the exclusive Tswalu Kalahari lodge in South Africa – a fantastic destination at this time of the year – for a unique take on the traditional safari. With the use of a private vehicle, personal guide and tracker, you will go in search of the elusive Kalahari Truffle.

The chances of finding truffles are better than ever this year, after a period of excellent rainfall promises a flourishing truffle season. In between hunting for, digging up, cooking and tasting truffles, you can also enjoy game drives, game walks and horseback safaris or relax in the spa and the surrounding dunes.

The Tswalu Kalahari is South Africa’s largest private game reserve covering 100,000 hectares, with the only accommodation found at these 2 luxury lodges, catering for only 30 guests at a time: this is an exclusive opportunity to do something a little different for Easter – with children under the age of 12 staying for free, this is also a great family option.

Bridge & Wickers are offering the Kalahari Truffle Safari from £2,520 pp. The price is inclusive of 4 nights in a Motse Suite at Tswala Kalahari, all meals, local drinks, walking and horseback safaris as well as the use of a private vehicle and personal truffle tracker.

Also included in the offer are return internal flights from the Oppenheimer private hanger in Johannesburg to Tswalu Desert Reserve. International flights are extra and children under 12 stay free.
