Kapama Private Game Reserve features a selection of luxury lodges and camps, each offering opulent accommodations and blending modern comforts with African elegance. Guests can expect spacious suites or villas, private decks, and panoramic views of the surrounding bushveld.
Kapama River Lodge (2 nights)
The largest of the Kapama Private Game Reserve camps, River Lodge’s wide, open spaces and airy design will be a constant reminder that you’re sleeping under the African sky.
Besides the luxury five-star accommodation, River Lodge is more festive and social than the game reserve's smaller, quieter camps, which is why young couples and groups of friends are often among their guests.
