Tswalu is South Africa’s largest privately owned reserve and, as one of a few desert biomes, arguably its most unique. Loapi is the newest camp, where each of the six villas is like its own mini safari lodge. Add desert landscapes teeming with life, and you get the most delightful, out-of-the-ordinary, Mars-like safari.
Choose from a one or two-bedroom tent, each boasting generous space, indoor and outdoor showers, and a shaded outdoor sala perfect for dining or lounging. Did we mention the plunge pool and fire pit?
If, like us, you’ve dreamt of living like royalty, your dedicated entourage will make this dream come true. Your team includes a private guide, tracker, butler, chef and a private vehicle—all just for you. We’re betting you probably don’t live this way at home unless you’re Prince Charles (Charles, if you’re reading this, hi).
Your private chef crafts meals in an interactive kitchen tailored to your tastes. Lazy brunch? Midnight snack? It’s all on the menu. For something unforgettable, dine at Boscia—a culinary journey inspired by the Kalahari landscape and ingredients, with a fine-dining flair that elevates every bite to an art form.
Safari experiences are as exclusive as the camp itself. Your guide and tracker will tailor an experience so you can explore Tswalu’s diverse habitats at your pace—your guide, your vehicle, your safari. Track the legendary black-maned Kalahari lions, spot endangered desert black rhinos, or share a sunrise with a family of meerkats as they pop up from their burrows and go about their day in an utterly charming way.
In the Kalahari, the silence is profound, and the exclusivity is unparalleled. It’s not just a safari; this is bush therapy at its finest. So, ready to channel your inner queen? Loapi Tented Camp awaits.
