This was not my first visit to South Africa or my first safari. I have been in the Kruger National park and whilst beautiful and exciting, it was not as enthralling as Kapama Game reserve. The River lodges were clean and well presented and the surrounding facilities were all top notch. However, you don't go on safari for the accommodation.... More

We stayed three nights at Kapama River Lodge in January 2012. Wonderful facilities, but if you are looking for a true african adventure, there are better options. The rangers are reluctant to take the vehicles off road, so most of the viewing is from existing dirt roads. Lots of animals to see, but felt more like being in a rather... More

We spent 2 nights at the Kapama Lodge and loved every moment. We brought our three kids, ages 7, 9 and 12. We were greeted with refreshing tropical drinks and shown to our rooms. They really make kids feel welcome here. They created a special room with three twin beds, each with a treat bag. Our room had a very... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights in January 2012 . Lodge is very well equipped and a very short distance from the airport , where we were met by the rangers in there Landcruisers. The food here was excellent , drinks were good also , the rooms were of a good size and standard and the Spa area looked... More

This lodge is perfect for families, couples and friends looking for comfort, good food and game. The spa was really the highlight for our group, it was beautiful and just what we needed after adventures in Zambia. The breakfast was fabulous. The other meals were sufficient. The biggest flaw is the fact the drinks are not included in the 'all... More

Our stay was a study in contrasts. The rooms are nice but noisy when others were around. The click of shoes and clack of cleaning carts penetrated the room making sleep impossible. The food was top, top, quality but had a samey taste. On day one, I thought the food was fantastic and worried about fitting into my clothes, by... More

This hotel was outstanding, I would rate as one of the best stays anywhere. We were picked up from the airport by one of the rangers in the same sort of vechicles that the drives take place in and quickly taken to the lodge, it was quite funny to arrive at the main park gates, literally 1 minute drive from...

My family of 7 had the pleasure of staying at River Lodge, Buffalo Camp and Karula while staying at Kapama over the holidays. At all three facilities, we stayed in incredible accommodations, ate fantastic food and were attended to by the most incredible team. Each of the guides and trackers did an AMAZING job, providing incredible animal interactions. There were... More

The Lodge is beautiful and luxurious, the spa is awesome, the staff is FANTASTIC. The only reason I rate it average is bc I found it very tacky that you have to buy your water while there...I understand it's all inclusive except for drinks - but making guests pay for WATER is absurd for such an otherwise classy place. Also... More
