Kuganha
Many come to South Africa for a safari—but Kuganha tented camp wants you to come for a spa-fari. Following an extensive redesign, the former three-tent camp reopened in March as a 10-suite retreat, set within the 25,000-acre Karoo Reserve in the Western Cape. In addition to supporting a conservation-led Big 5 private reserve, Kuganha offers total privacy just a few hours from Cape Town. And let it be known: These are “the biggest tents in Africa,” says Cunningham. “They’re drop-dead gorgeous,” each with their own in-suite spa, which includes twin massage beds, hot/cold plunge, steam room, sauna, a flotation therapy pool, salt halotherapy chamber, and dual outdoor tubs and shower.
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app, where members save venues, book tables and use the concierge.
