KAPAMA RIVER LODGE
Kapama Private Game Reserve
Dates: May 28-31, 2026
Step into the untamed wonder of Kapama Private Game Reserve, a place where nature roars, stalks, and soars in breathtaking harmony. This isn’t just a safari–it’s a front-row seat to the greatest show on Earth, where every moment pulses with adrenaline and awe.
Here, the legendary Big Five–lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros–aren’t just names in a guidebook. They’re living, breathing forces of nature, roaming freely across vast landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Kapama teems with extraordinary creatures–graceful giraffes, elusive cheetahs, vibrant birds, and curious antelope–each playing their part in this wild symphony. Whether you’re tracking footprints at dawn or sipping sundowners as the bush comes alive with nocturnal calls, every experience is a story waiting to be told.
