Stayed over Christmas in one of the family suites. Would highly recommend. Warm greeting on arrival, the staff already knew the kids' names, very personable and lunch laid on even day of arrival. Game drives were done very well and the guides tracking a leopard for us (after a sundowner drink) a real highlight of our visit. I heard from... More

I travelled with my boyfriend in the first week of January 2012. It was just perfect!!! From the pick up at the airport to the magnificent private pool in our suite we loved everything. I'm a birdwatcher and since the very first time I said this, our fantastic ranger, Darren, had all efforts to show me new species. The service... More

Our review of Kapama is a bit different from most of the reviews posted on trip advisor. I will start with the positive: The tents were beautiful, luxurious and very comfortable. There is an understated modern charm to Kapama Karula which is evident in the tents and throughout the intimate lodge. The safari guide and tracker were extremely knowledgeable and... More

My family of 7 had the pleasure of staying at River Lodge, Buffalo Camp and Karula while staying at Kapama over the holidays. And, while all of the facilities were beyond fantastic, Karula was our favorite. At all three facilities, we stayed in incredible accommodations, ate fantastic food and were attended to by the most incredible team. Each of the... More

The new modern rooms at Karula are fantastic. What a refreshing take on a bush lodge room. Modern, airy, beautiful. Very generous in proportions too. The bush is being rehabilitated from old farmlands and is not quite the authentic experience one looks for at a bush break away. Food was fancy but not great. More

Kapama Karula was the most amazing place. My boyfriend and I went there 3 nights, as it was also my birthday too. This was my first time to South Africa and although he is oringinally from there, this was his first time in a private reserve. We did game drives twice daily with Jordan and Collin (who were both amazing... More

It can be challenging to maintain an impeccable quality when your guests have high expectations. I believe I am well travelled with 56 country stamps in my passport, and I booked into Kapama Karula following their number one ranking on TripAdvisor. It was my third trip to South Africa and I had already been to five different camps/reserves in the... More

We wife and I stayed here for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon. Hands down on of the best decisions we have made thus far! The place is just so beautiful, modern, but rustic. 5 star service, awesome staff, great food, and you cant beat the game drives. Our driver was Mike and our tracker was Petro, they were... More

The days at Kapama Karula was amazing. We are a family of 4 and have never experienced a safari and coming to your resort made it a trip that we will never forget. Jordan and Collen made our safaris unforgettable, their eagerness to please and their ability to spot animals in combination with their professionalism was second to none. While... More
