Kapama is one of South Africa’s largest privately owned game reserves, perfectly positioned in the Limpopo province safari area, renowned for its high density of big game animals. A game drive in Kapama Game Reserve, with a qualified ranger and expert tracker, reveals wild animals and many secrets of the African bush.
Accommodation
Kapama has three styles of safari accommodation, each creating a distinctly different safari experience. To find which of Kapama’s accommodation choices is right for you.
Kapama Lodge - a luxurious traditional safari lodge with air-conditioned thatched chalets positioned around a lake fringed with reeds. Calm atmosphere, good dining and friendly staff.
Kapama River Lodge – an impressive and elegant large safari lodge that can accommodate groups without compromising its high standards. Contemporary African décor in double volume thatch lounges create a cavernous effect and the open plan design extends to the pool deck with a large rim-flow pool looking towards a waterhole.
Kapama Buffalo Camp - timeless tented safari style for only 16 guests, with en-suite rooms perched on platforms high above the riverbed and connected to each other by wooden walkways. This is a favourite because of its intimate rustic feel and al-fresco dinners around the open fire.
Kapama Gwalagwala is a small, intimate safari lodge offering luxury tented camp accommodation. Built to host a maximum of 14 people (7 tents), the individually named units nestle discretely under a canopy of trees in the natural bush to ensure solitude and privacy. The camp is situated on the Klaserie River which provides the perfect setting for this unique camp.
