From the momend we arrived we felt at home. You can see the management has a passion for what they are doing and not just doing a job to get paid. The game drives were great and Mike was really going out of his way to show us it all, you can see he has a passion for the bush... More

Wow! As we stepped out of the car, hot and dusty and tired, the cook greeted us, Eugene the very wonderful host, and someone brought us a wet towel to wash our faces. While we had lychee juice at the bar/lounge and personal welcome from Eugene, our bags were taken to our luxury cabin/suite. The lounge and the dining room... More

For first-time safari enthusiasts, the Kapama private game preserve is for you! Located next to the Kruger National park, we saw everything and loved every minute during our two day stay. Scenic, romantic, decadent! Our guide, Richard, picked us up in an open jeep at the Hoedspruit Airport. Kapama is located across the road and a 20 minute ride to... More

With four camps to choose from, we were recommended Southern Camp by a South African friend, in the travel industry as we have an 8 year old son. This camp was perfect for... More

My fiance and I stayed at the Southern Camp for what was supposed to be 5 nights. We previously stayed at Kapama River Lodge so it was absolutely great to go back to the private game reserve to experience a different side of it. The southern camp is more private and exclusive than the river lodge, but when it comes... More

I had a great time at Kapama Southern Camp and saw all of the big five. Those and all the other animals we saw were so beautiful. We had a great time safariing around with Richard and Orange, our guide and tracker, who both had a good sense of humor and seemed very experienced. The food was also really good,... More
