Loapi Tented Camp, Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, South Africa

A Tented Camp in South Africa

Camp Details

Loapi means ‘the space below the clouds’ in Setswana.

Backed by the foothills of the Korannaberg mountains, Loapi is a tented camp made up of six private safari homes under canvas. Each tented home is positioned to make the most of unimpeded views south across the reserve’s characteristic arid savannah. With at least 50 meters (165 feet) between each private home, guests are assured of solitude and seclusion. Staffed by a dedicated butler and a private chef, Loapi heralds a return to a true wilderness experience that is both private and exclusive. In Setswana the camp’s name means ‘the space below the clouds’, aptly reflected in its environmentally sensitive, modular design, combining canvas, glass and steel. Uncluttered, sculptural interiors, enriched by nature’s colours, forms and shapes, optimize the sense of space and evoke the carefree, nomadic spirit of camping.
