- "Stunning facilities and amazing game drives" - "Beautiful grounds, very comfortable rooms, blended really well with landscape!" - "We had the best 3 days. A beautiful, luxurious lodge - immaculately clean with excellent, friendly service. Gloria looked after our every need with her warm personality. The hotel being immaculate is a bonus as it’s all about the game drives - wow! Indescribable and exceeded all of our expectations. Our guide Rassie was so knowledgable, friendly and persistent, doing his utmost to make sure we had the best sightings. Our trackers Bianca and Mike also did a great job. You spend a lot of time with the group over the days and we had a great laugh, it was like been with friends. Every need is taken care of when it comes to the logistics, timings etc. and there is really no need to think - just enjoy this amazing experience. Thank you everyone at Kapama. I am crying happy tears to be leaving x"
