Domestic Destinations: Kapama Southern Camp


Going Bush

The pristine Kapama Private Game Reserve extends across 13,000 hectares of savannah and riverine forest between the northern Drakensberg Mountains and the Greater Kruger National Park in Limpopo. Perfect for the discerning traveller, this unforgettable African bush experience distils the finest in both modern and traditional safari offerings.

  
The reserve plays host to over 40 different mammal species, including the famed Big Five. Plentiful predators roam amongst vast herds of buffalo, elephant and antelope, while 350 species of birds grace the skies. This sweeping expanse of unadulterated wilderness offers itself as a haven for man and beast alike. Daily game drives, bush walks, elephant-back safaris and supervised elephant interactions provide intimate encounters with the area’s spectacular flora and fauna.

Kapama’s Southern Camp is one of four different lodges on the reserve. Offering luxurious accommodation, warm hospitality and attentive service in a serene setting, it is perfect for avid nature lovers.

A variety of accommodation options are on offer at this five-star lodge. Standard Suites offer en suite bathrooms, private patios and standard modern conveniences. Luxury Suites include private lap pools, inside and outside showers, espresso machines and fireplaces. Family Suites boast Luxury Suites with an extra bedroom and bathroom for children. All options complement the awe-inspiring surrounding scenery, which can also be enjoyed from the lodge lounge, bar and pool area.

Dining at Southern Camp is a truly memorable experience. Breakfast and lunch are served in the elegant open-sided dining room, which takes its decorative inspiration from the surrounding natural landscape and features a wine cellar showcasing a fine collection of South African sips. Illuminated by firelight and starry skies, the traditional **boma** (an enclosed outdoor eating area) is the favoured setting for dinner, and offers guests the chance to savour delicious and diverse cuisine conjured right before their eyes in true African style.

Kapama also provides a romantic sleep-out experience on a lavishly furnished raised platform under the open sky for those who wish to venture outdoors for the night. A breathtaking sunset and a five-course dinner served by a personal chef at an intimate table for two complete this unforgettable experience.

A sensual daytime escape can be enjoyed at the Kapama Wellness Centre. Elevating the safari spa experience to new heights, the centre rests within the stillness of the sweeping bushveld, and comprises six treatment rooms arranged around a generously proportioned central lap pool. For those who would like to work up a sweat, the mini-gym is fully equipped with both cardio and weight-lifting equipment.

For a truly memorable reserve experience, guests can take off in a candy-striped hot air balloon, sipping champagne and marvelling at the splendour of the reserve below.

Kapama’s three other lodges – River Lodge, Kapama Karula and Buffalo Camp – offer a luxurious African wildlife experience similar to that presented by Southern Camp.
