This was a home away from home. It’s a small camp and and because of that you get very personalized service. The tents were wonderful with air-conditioning since we came in the summer. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Overall, the tent was a very good size. The food was delicious and the game drive was exciting. In the evening from the tent, I could hear the lions roaring. We had a wonderful Boma in the evening with chicken curry. I would definitely come back here again,it was quiet and comfortable. Our guide and tracker were very knowledgeable and personable. All the staff were helpful and pleasant.

This property is incredible! The rooms were stunning and so large. I had no idea how amazing the safari rides would be- Justice and Elvis did such an amazing job at making us feel safe and finding/getting up close to the big 5. The service is impeccable- Tinyiko our server was so kind and we felt so cared for. I wasn’t expecting much for the food- due to it being all inclusive- but it was absolutely amazing quality, ingredients and preparation.

All the facilities, the staff, the surrounding nature, the food, and the drinks. I honestly loved every single piece of our experience. I've never been treated so well in my life. Our guide and driver Busani, the waitress Beatrice, and the tracker Opa were true friends to us during our stay. We know it's the crew's job to treat us well, but the way they do that with joy and affection made everything more special. Two nights at the Kapama were enough to impact our lives forever.

Game drives, Never and Mateo's excellent knowledge and personalities. They truly provided a once in a lifetime experience for us, getting close to animals and doing their best to take on any requests. Their local perspective, knowledge and stories added a unique twist compared to other game drives we've done. Never was the outgoing friendly Energetic personality while Mateo added a sense of safety in the bush. As mentioned they both have outstanding knowledge. Never's game drives are like a fun learning experience while driving through the African bush. Mateo has many years of experience in tracking and we enjoyed his in depth knowledge. Breakfast and lunches and service by Munya. Pool area Pick up service from the airport. Birding around the camp Air conditioning in the room

    We were greeted warmly by owners Michael and Vicky who were always happy to chat and find out about our experience at the lodge. When I mentioned a couple of minor issues they were quickly addressed. Our tent was comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed seeing antelopes just outside. They also came to drink from the swimming pool, giving us some great photo opportunities. The driver Dennis and spotter Phomani were very knowledgeable and found some wonderful sites to spot the animals, especially the lions killing a buffalo.

    - Ranger Roux was a great guide and super knowledgeable, it made the game drives unforgettable. - huge room, very isolated from other guests, peaceful private deck overlooking the reserve. - very personal experience (only 4 rooms at this property). - nice pool and deck by the waterhole.
