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.

Local é incrível, a vila que fiquei é super espaçosa, confortável e de muito bom gosto. Toalhas, travesseiros todos ótimos . O atendimento é muito cordial, faz com que vc se sinta especial. Tudo é pensado para agradar. A comida é excelente . Só tenho elogios. O Safari vale muito a pena , ver os animais soltos na natureza é incrível. O passeio com o ranger é muito divertido!

Sem dúvida um dos melhores hotéis da minha vida , os colaboradores ficam o tempo todo te “mimando” o atendimento é personalizado , fiquei doente enquanto estava lá , eles foram até a Farmácia comprar remédio para mim , fizeram dieta especial , levavam chá no quarto , um espetáculo , a reserva é magnífica vimos em 2 dias os 5 big fives , os guias não medem esforços para encontrar os animais e deixar o hóspede satisfeito , perfeito

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.

Excellent stay at Kapama Southern Camp. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Game drives are excellent. The food is great. The lodge is small enough to feel intimate and relaxing. 5 star stay for sure.

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.
