Nestled between the Blyde River valley and Kruger National Park, Kapama Private Game Reserve is one of South Africa’s largest privately owned game reserves, renowned for its high density of big game animals, including the Big Five. It offers an authentic African safari experience and stretches across 15 000 hectares towards the Kruger area.
Set on the banks of the perennial Klaserie River is Kapama Private Game Reserve’s flagship five-star lodge, Kapama Karula. Meaning “place of peace”, this ultra-luxurious and prestigious lodge exudes calmness and depicts the pinnacle of elegant safari accommodation, with wraparound views of the African bush. Karula offers ten luxury villas and two family villas, each in its own private paradise with a heated plunge pool and viewing deck.

The diversity of wildlife is the main attraction but there are plenty to do between game drives, for example enjoying a pampering session at one of the wellness centres of Kapama Karula. Guests can fly direct into Kapama on a new Pilatus PC-12 plane.
