South Africa’s largest private game reserve offers, without doubt, a unique experience, set against the backdrop of the Korannaberg mountains and surrounded by endless rolling dunes and red Kalahari sands.
Here guests may encounter colonies of meerkats, enjoy a horseback safari across the plains or marvel at the sheer size of the Kalahari black-maned lions – with a maximum of 10 vehicles on the malaria-free reserve, an uninterrupted experience is assured. As well as zebra, buffalo, lion, giraffe and cheetah, the pristine wilderness plays host to some rarer species such as roan, sable or tsessebe antelope, or enjoy the thrill of tracking the desert black rhino on foot.
The reserve is regarded as one of the best places in the world to spot an aardvark or pangolin-these shy, nocturnal creatures are rarely seen but the cold Kalahari winter nights mean that they are occasionally spotted outside in daylight hours. Bush walks to sites of ancient San rock art, horseback rides and sundowners on the dunes are followed by gourmet meals at the lodges.

Loapi Tented CampThis eco-friendly tented camp is the newest addition, where you can disappear into the nomadic life in a one- or two-bedroom home surrounded by open grassland, with only a personal butler and private chef to disturb you. Sleep in cocoon-like sanctuaries under canvas, relax on the shaded decks next to the eco-friendly plunge pool, and sip on an early morning coffee by the fire pit, while the sights and sounds of nature engulf you.

Not to miss…A unique opportunity to spend a night under the stars and drift off to the sounds of the Kalahari’s nocturnal animals. The experience begins with a game drive to the Malori, sundowners around the fire and a meal as the sun sets. The raised sleeping platform is part thatched, giving a choice of sleeping under cover or completely open to the night skies. Wake in the morning to the sounds of the birds as the sun rises. An unforgettable experience.
