The Kapama Private Game Reserve occupies an immense area between the northern Drakensberg Mountains and the Greater Kruger National Park. It is the largest single-owner game reserve in the entire region and is perfectly situated to receive guests flying into Eastgate Airport (Hoedspruit), just minutes from the reserve.

There are four lodges in Kapama; Kapama Lodge, Kapama River Lodge, Kapama Buffalo Camp and Kapama Karula. These camps and lodges can accommodate a total of 208 people between them.

Kapama Game Reserve is in the Limpopo Province, an area which is renowned for outstanding safari holidays. Kapama's 13,000 hectares has all the big game of Africa with 42 mammal species and approximately 350 bird species. This equates to huge natural diversity and includes the famed 'Big 5' - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino.  

Game drives are conducted through the rolling savannah grasslands and riverine forests that make up this appealing African reserve. Kapama's natural environment and sweetveld ecosystem offers guests the opportunity to have close encounters with all the African animals that traditionally roam this area.

Kapama lodge:
Sweeping views across a tranquil lake create a sentiment of feel-good as soon as you arrive at 5-star Kapama Lodge. The twenty thatched chalets and 2 honeymoon suites offer fresh white bedding surrounded by four great swathes of mosquito netting creating a fairy-tale four-poster effect. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and decorated to reflect the rich textures and colours of Africa.

A team of chefs create an array of fine food served in the Kapama Lodge main dining room, the traditional circular outdoor boma lit by lanterns or at a secluded bush venue under a starry African sky. A dip in Kapama Lodge swimming pool is most refreshing when the heat of the African sun becomes too intense and you want to finish your day relaxing on the pool's wooden sundeck which extends right over the lake.

Kapama River Lodge:
The northern Drakensberg mountain range provides a majestic backdrop to the Kapama River Lodge which presents the perfect blend between luxurious safari accommodation and a generous bed capacity of 64 bedrooms. Although large, it is so stylish, roomy and beautifully positioned along a dry riverbed, that guests fall in love with it.

Each spacious room at Kapama River Lodge features a full en-suite bathroom and terrace with uninterrupted views into the leafy-green Big 5 game reserve. Kapama also offers alternative accommodation in spa suites and a specially designed 70 sq metre family room. The central guest entertainment areas include a large swimming pool, long L-shaped relaxation lounge and bar which curves around the pool and on either side is a huge double-sided fireplace creating a wondrous open-plan yet cosy atmosphere.

The River lodge provides three choices of dining venue, all of which cater well for both adventurous and non-adventurous eaters as well as a good choice of vegetarian food.
