Kapama boasts accommodation of various types, but the overall size of the reserve and the road running through it mean you inevitably "hit" the fence. There's a bit of a "Jurassic Park" feel to all of it, and the rangers tend to be very young, lacking a bit of experience.

Imagine Jurassic Park only with modern African fauna and flora and you're at Kapama.
Now, as regards the wildlife, the experience at Kapama was something we can all only hope that future generations will be able to enjoy as much as I did. This is no zoo. You will find yourself very often so "up close and personal" with lions, elephants, etc. as to cause you to wonder how safe you really are, but don't worry, you are. These people know their business and the way the wildlife will react to your proximity. You will feel fear at times regardless, and that will definitely be part of the story you will tell when you get home.

only problem with the accommodations was that I got so comfortable that when my four day stay ended, I didn't want to leave. My room was quite luxurious and one morning I got to share my back porch with a Kudu buck. Scared THE HELL out of me AND it when I walked out on to the porch with my coffee. It's another story I tell often.For the skittish eaters among you, don't worry. Meals at Kapama are much like eating in a better New York City restaurant, only with friendlier service and often served outdoors.
The scenery is spectacular. You are in the African Bush. In the words of Simon and Garfunkel, you are "under African skies". We lucked out with the weather too. We never saw a drop of rain and the mildly hot days turned into downright chilly evenings.
I could easily spend a week or more at Kapama, not necessarily doing day and night game drives every day but just relaxing by the pool, sipping wine and chilling out.
By the way, be SURE to do the elephant back "safari" offered as a side excursion. This was yet another experience at Kapama that I tell people about regularly.

Absolutely Incredible - Fabulous First Safari and the most amazing experience of our lives
Everything was PERFECT. Accommodation was excellent and the staff so friendly and accommodating. The meals were great and plentiful.
We had the best safari guide Rassi (we called him our Indiana Jones) and tracker Witness who were very knowledgeable about the animals and nature. We saw the big 5 and not only once together with so many animals in the wild. The landscapes are so beautiful and the animas are breathtaking. Kapama river lodge and the drive was our highlight of South Africa.10/10. Thankyou to Rishen at MoAfrika for booking this tour for us.

Saw all of the big 5 in this resort. No guarantees but I felt like because it was also more trees/shrubs than open, if you did see animals they were almost on top of you - very close!

Sevin was a wonderful guide with superb knowledge of the game and how to find them. The accommodation, food and staff were superb. Everything about this trip was better than I could have imagined. The trip of a lifetime

The 4 days on safari were the perfect end to our 3 weeks in South Africa. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the food was awesome and we had the best safari guide and tracker who were so knowledgeable about all the animals and birds we saw. The only disappointment was that we didn't manage to find the leopards.
