Funviralpark Three suppliers have announced plans to open new lodges in 2023 as tourism to Africa is back on track.
Roapi Campis a new facility in the Tswar Kalahari Game Reserve in South Africa, currently under construction and expected to open in March. The eco-friendly luxury tented camp has six private safari homes, including four one-bedroom homes and two two-bedroom units. The six houses are at least 50 meters (about 165 feet) apart to ensure privacy and solitude. A dedicated butler provides personalized service, and all meals are prepared in an interactive kitchen by a private chef. As with all camps, a dedicated safari vehicle, guide and tracker are guaranteed. For more information, visit tswalu.com/our-camps/loapi.
