This luxury tented camp, in Kapama Private Game Reserve near the Kruger National Park, is a quiet and intimate lodge where you can unwind in the shade of the trees and simply absorb the surrounding peace. The perfect luxury South African Safari escape. The camp’s exclusive suites are positioned on elevated platforms and surrounded by forest canopy. There’s a seasonal river below, and suites are connected to each other and the main lodge by raised wooden walkways. Rustic elements of roaring campfires, lantern light and outdoor dining under the stars contrast with the opulent comfort of air-conditioned suites, crisp white linen and every conceivable in-suite comfort.

Considered one of the finest safari spas in Africa, the Spa situated at River Lodge has six sumptuous treatment rooms in a setting surrounded by stillness and sweeping bushveld. Arranged around a generous central lap pool the spa evokes a sense of calm.

10 luxury custom-built safari tents, each accommodating two guests, are set on elevated decks between the canopies of ancient trees which line a seasonal river. The tents feature a wildlife viewing deck, full en-suite bathroom, King sized bed, air-conditioning, and tea and coffee making facilities.

Across all of Kapama’s lodges, two daily game drives are offered and are included in the tariff. Accompanied by a skilled ranger and tracker, guests can expect to encounter a diverse range of animal and bird species on game drives. Since this is a Big Five reserve, seeing lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo is possible over a two-day safari in Kapama Private Game Reserve.
