Kapama Southern Camp
Kapama Southern Camp is an idyllic safari destination, set within the heart of the Kapama Private Game Reserve.
Offering five-star luxury, it combines warm hospitality, exceptional service, and a serene, nature-embraced setting.
Take in the breathtaking beauty of South Africa as you sip refreshing cocktails on the lodge’s wooden deck. Indulge in gourmet meals, served either in the privacy of your suite or beneath the starlit African sky — a dining experience as memorable as the landscape itself.
The reserve is home to over 40 species of mammals, including the legendary Big Five — elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino, and leopard. Guests are treated to two game drives each day, offering exceptional opportunities to encounter Africa’s most iconic wildlife up close.
For a truly magical escape, the Kapama Romantic Sleep-Out awaits — a private open-air platform elevated above the ground, where you can experience the African wilderness in its most intimate and enchanting form.
