- • The game drive. Too many game vehicles departing at the same time and also returning all at once. The dust that this created was awful
An incredible experience

I recommend visiting here at least once in a lifetime
Everything was perfect. I wanted to cry when leaving. Everything is customer-oriented. High-level service. The environment and room are amazing.

The most amazing place for a safari. It far exceeded our high expectations!
We stayed at Kapama River Lodge, in a Tamboti suite for 9 nights in May 2026 for our 30 year wedding anniversary. Our expectations were high as this is not a cheap place to stay. We were definitely not disappointed but amazed that it could be so good. Being met at Hoedspruit airport in an open safari vehicle and being able to see Buffalo and Giraffe on the short drive through the reserve to our lodge was unexpected. The River Lodge was immaculately clean in all areas, the staff very friendly and helpful, our suite spacious and peaceful, delicious food, a wonderful selection of wines and other drinks (all included). The best part was the morning and evening game drives. The vehicles are completely open making viewing and photography easy. Despite being so open we always felt safe. Our guides were ‘magicians’ in the way that they could find animals, including a very rare Pangolin and Lion cubs not previously seen by anyone. We especially liked their extensive knowledge, respect for the animals and the environment. In short, if you want to go on safari in Africa go to Kapama but stay a week to fully enjoy the experience. These are just a few of the pictures we took.

Amazing place to stay. Safaris were well organized, and we got to see the Big 5 close up and more. Staff were amazing, we received a bonus upgrade even though we were prepared to pay! Food and drinks all inclusive, even in our room bar. We highly recommend a stay here!
