Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on January 31, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Courtesy of Respective Travel Advisor With an encyclopedic knowledge of the top camps in Botswana, Kenya, and Uganda, Beal is adept at luxury stays. He’s also particularly excited about two new South Africa destinations: the six-tent, eco-friendly Loapi Camp, in the Tswalu Kalahari private game reserve, and the Farmstead at Royal Malewane, a high-end lodge next to Kruger National Park. One of Beal's strengths is navigating challenging logistics. "Even pre-pandemic, I was offering sound advice and counsel about transiting through and between Southern and East Africa," Beal says. "I have immediate knowledge about the commercial and light aircraft options in these regions, from flight schedules to popular connections. That's especially helpful because the best experiences are often found in Africa's more remote locations. And in using private planes or helicopters, I can ensure the privacy, luxury, and exclusivity my clients expect."
