About Tswalu Loapi Tented Camp

In the heart of the Kalahari Desert lies Tswalu Kalahari Reserve's Loapi Tented Camp, which embodies the spirit of pioneering luxury and nomadic adventure. Six exclusive glamping homes, designed for ultimate privacy, blend seamlessly into the natural landscape of open savannah grasslands. The sustainable, environmentally sensitive design places each tented home within the contours of a valley between the Korannaberg mountains. Ranging from 303 to 433 square meters, these homes provide a cocoon-like sanctuary under canvas, offering a unique connection to nature with exceptional comfort and insulation from the Kalahari's extremes.

Personalised service is a huge drawcard, with dedicated house managers, private chefs, and a guarantee of a private safari vehicle, guide, and tracker for each home. Contemporary glass and steel pavilions form the heart of each living space, featuring fully equipped kitchens, environmentally friendly plunge pools, fire pits, and shaded decks for relaxation. The name "Loapi" signifies 'the space below the clouds' in Setswana, reflecting the magical experience of this exclusive retreat.

Reviews

  • Exceptional

    My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Tswalu's Loapi tented camp, which is truly a magnificent experience unlike any other camp in Africa. You are not obligated to interact with other safari-goers, and you only see the support team of guide, tracker, butler, and chef. You can plan your own experience, including your schedule for drives and walks. Tswalu is an exceptional place.
