Tswalu Kalahari Reserve – Loapi tented camp

Embracing the principles of low impact architecture, Loapi is a perfect fit with its unique environment, reflecting and celebrating both the spirit and magnificence of the place, offering a heightened experience of being immersed in the African bush.

The suspended, steel framed structure is combined with panels of glass, canvas, cork, and sustainably sourced, modified timber.

Randomly placed slatted screens, throw shadows across the façade creating a shimmer effect similar to the soft swaying grasses of the area.

The effect of light and shadows moving across the canvas envelope, dissolves the surfaces, allowing the structures to blend seamlessly into their surroundings.
