Kapama Private Game Reserve Safari Trips & Tours

Modest in size but not in wildlife, Kapama is perfect for a laidback safari in very capable hands.

Supremely easy to access (you can even fly into the private airstrip), Kapama Private Game Reserve is a fenced-in wilderness area, separated from the vast expanse of the Kruger. Mostly made up of grasslands, forested riverbanks – it’s crossed by two winding waterways – and woodlands, Kapama is home to impressive amounts of wildlife including elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo and prides of lions. There are just six properties within the reserve, with amenities and styles to suit all tastes. As a private fenced reserve, Kapama extends your safari experience with night drives, boat cruises and guided bush walks, where you can get to know the landscape and its inhabitants in a far more intimate way. The reserve is home to around 350 species of birds, so keep your eyes peeled for beautiful flashes of colour as you explore.
