I don't even know where to begin... Kapama River Lodge is hands down the best trip myself and my boyfriend have ever been on. When arriving in our vehicle we were greeted with refresher towels and they offered to park the vehicle for us. Our luggage was taken to our room by staff members. Before we checked in they offered... More

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend to celebrate his birthday. Because Kapama is adjacent to the Eastgate airport it is a great location. Quick flight from Johannesburg and quick transfer to the lodge. Our room was spacious and comfortable and overlooked some grasslands. Despite being a hotel like lodge it was pleasingly quiet. There is a spa... More

Very confotable and large room, nice shower, and bath. The hotel is awesome, and the staff very attenptious and friendly, trying to talk in portuguese when we said that we were from Brazil....The game safaris was wonderfull.... I recommend. You could think that is expensive, but is an all inclusive hotel, with safaris included....

Just returned from our stay at the Kapama River Lodge. There were 3 of us that went and we all enjoyed our time there very much. Our guide, Nelson, and tracker, Mateo, were wonderful!!!! The only animals we weren't fortunate to come across were the leopard and cheetah. On our last day we saw a group of female lions and... More

Upscale experience with destination that gives the regular and experienced traveller the feeling that still exists right people doing the right thing. Proper decoration in every single place around the property, excellent rooms,friendly and corteous staff and the food couldn't be better.

Being our first visit to South Africa and our first game resort experience, Tripadvisor reviews, near location in relation to airport, and price were the main deciders for us to choose the River Lodge. We could easily have paid much more for other game park accommodation and experiences; however, our choice did not want for anything. Without exception everything during... More

I read reviews about Kapama River Lodge before I visited and from my observation, the reviews were pretty accurate. However, the photos online did not do justice to the actual setting. Kapama River Lodge is a beautiful hotel, located in the bush and offered the perfect balance of luxury & nature. The rooms were spacious, clean and warmly decorated, yet... More
