This was one of the most best travel expeirences i ever had. The Kapama Southern lodge is superb . The staff was amazing. the accommodations were perfect. The food options were plentiful. I recommend this property to everyone, and of of course the safari tours were better than expected with informal guides.

An experience not a hotel

The service is excellent and all staff go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The concept of having the same game ranger / tracker to ensure that you see everything that you want is to be commended. This is an exceptional game experience and hesitate to even classify it as a hotel

Kapama Southern is amazing! I loved everything about it - the Villa was beautiful, the animals roaming free, the food was delicious, but I especially I loved the people who worked there. Titus and Elliot were an amazing Driver/Tracker duo and made sure we got to see some amazing animals, including a leopard eating in a tree. They were always looking out for me and making sure I had everything I needed to have a great stay. And Nkateko always had my favorite tea at breakfast lunch and dinner. I highly recommend this property and upgrading to the Villa with pool. I also suggest you stay about 5 days to enjoy the game drives, but also so you can enjoy some of the experiences like the Elephant encounter, spa and hot air balloon ride.

Amazing South Africa

We should have visited South Africa before, it was far beyond our expectations. We had incredible moments in Kapama, 6 safaris and 2 bush walks, our ranger Jaques and scout Kenny were fantastic, with them we could see the big 5 and much more animals, each day a new adventure. We wish to be back soon with the whole family.

Home away from home

We had a lovely time at Kapama Southern Camp. Family of 5 was treated in the most respectful way and spoiled rotten. We had the best experience of lives. We saw Leopard up close, elephants came and gate crash our bush braai😂, the staff were just wonderful. Deon the best chef, Matt our very wise guide, Lot our eagle eyed tracker, Thuli our sweet singing waiter, Sheila the best bush braai helper, hands-on Hanneli that was ALWAYS near to help, sorry for not remembering everyone, ALL the staff made sure every little detail was on point and the friendliness and smiles went on for miles and miles. I want to ask Tourists visiting our beautiful country: please treat everyone you meet with respect, I have seen such rude people, it made me cringe. No matter of its a cleaner or a manager, treat with respect and you with treated with even MORE respect!
