What do past clients say about this destination?

12/03/2023

We found such exceptional hospitality and not five star but six star amenities and food at Kapama River Lodge, it was amazing. Never mind the Big 5, we saw so much more besides and the guides told us so much we never knew about the wildlife. Come and see this special place, the beautiful views and bush, the beautiful skies at night. It’s so exciting seeing game in the wild like this, very real. Thanks to all our guides, trackers, the chef and the lovely staff, we had a ball.
