Luke Dale Roberts will launch a new restaurant at Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, South Africa’s largest private wildlife reserve, owned by the Oppenheimer family. The menu, developed with Carla Schulze (executive chef of Salon, former head development chef at The Test Kitchen) and Dillan Kannemeyer (currently Salon’s head chef), will showcase locally inspired, globally influenced cuisine in one of Africa’s most remote dining locations. Salon will close at the end of March 2026, with much of the team moving to Tswalu.
