"A highly personalized camp within South Africa’s vast, 282,000‑acre Tswalu Kalahari conservation reserve, Loapi Tented Camp comprises six safari homes each paired with a vehicle, guide, tracker, private chef, and butler—ideal for families and multigenerational groups setting their own pace. Architectural finishes mix steel and canvas pavilions with wood, leather, and woven grasses, and helpful in‑home information boards highlight recent wildlife sightings and ongoing conservation work across the reserve." - Jennifer Flowers
"Tswalu Kalahari offers access to the wilds of the Kalahari with childcare and luxurious accommodations. The resort features three distinctive camps: Loapi’s six ultra-private under canvas microcamps, Motse’s nine sand-toned suites and shared camp, and the five-bedroom Tarkuni. Families can enjoy safaris together, with the option of leaving children with a nanny for adult activities. The camp provides private guides and vehicles, allowing families to customize their adventures. The Junior Ranger Program offers kids independent opportunities for discovery through bush walks, crafting, and private game drives." - Kathryn Romeyn, Devorah Lev-Tov
"Similarly, Tswalu is a South African safari camp with star beds set on a sleep-out deck in the Korannaberg mountains."
"Tswalu Kalahari Reserve and its Motse Camp, in South Africa, is a lodge that goes above and beyond for autistic travelers, offering customized experiences such as private weeklong ranger-training programs for children with Asperger’s syndrome." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This is South Africa’s largest privately protected conservation area, preserving roughly 281,000 acres of semi-arid Kalahari landscape in the country’s north. The reserve emphasizes conservation and wildlife research, and the open, expansive terrain is presented as the primary attraction for visitors. Its remoteness means most guests arrive via scheduled charter flights (about two hours from Cape Town or 90 minutes from Johannesburg), and the property is malaria-free. Hospitality on the reserve is noted for warm service and expert safari guides, while accessibility can vary across properties and terrain." - AFAR
