Sociable weaver nest colonies are a prominent feature of the Tswalu landscape. They may house hundreds of individual weavers, often living in small family groups, but collectively building and maintaining the structure.

Cheetahs have an affinity for these weaver colonies, using them as vantage points, resting places, and territorial scent-marking sites.
