Kapama River Lodges offer a range of air-conditioned suites all stylishly furnished and set against the backdrop of the Drakensberg Mountains. Each suite has a private bathroom fitted with a bath and shower and is complete with complimentary amenities as well as a minibar and coffee machine.

The overall experience of Kapama River Lodge stay was above the expectations. The location couldn't be better, with Hoedspruit Airport just at the end of the Kapama Reserve. All meals were exceptional, with diferent menus everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The wellness center is a magic place with an infinite pool with a river view and with complete services. The safari experience was one of the big highlights of Kapama River Lodge with rangers Marcus and Ringo doing an outstanding work of tracking animals. The service and sympathy of all staff members of the hotel was 5 stars, and all logistics well planned.

Well, this was my fourth time staying in Kapama. it is certainly a magical place and never disappoints our guide Stjohn was knowledgeable, interesting and made the experience one will never forget. We stayed in A-villa and enjoyed our private pool. We had a group of monkeys that would come see us. We saw all big five within the first day. I’m looking forward to coming back. The service was impeccable, and we were even treated to a safari breakfast. All the staff were accommodating sure our stay was five star.

Set 20 km from Drakensig Golf Club, Little Africa Safari Lodge offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

A buffet breakfast is available every morning at the lodge. At Little Africa Safari Lodge you will find a restaurant serving African and South African cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options can also be requested.

food was excellent, property was great, tents were nice, game drives were absolutely fantastic in a large private animal reserve. Thanks to our fantastic and knowledgeable tracker and guides Mateo and Never and our tough topless safari car we were able to get incredibly close to all animals including the big five by driving on small dirt roads at all times. No need for telephoto lenses - we just used our iPhones and only used our binoculars a couple of times.

Situated on a small nature reserve near Hoedspruit, Bundox Safari Lodge is a stylish bush camp located within 50 km of the Kruger National Park. The lodge is surrounded by lush greenery and features a viewing deck and outdoor pool.

This is an absolutely amazing facility… secluded tents right next to Kruger National Park. The room and en-suite were gorgeous and the whole place was immaculate. The staff were incredibly hospitable and made everything perfect. We had a great couples massage that was even better due to the natural setting.

    Everything about our stay here was exceptional and we were lucky to see the big 5 and stay in such a beautiful setting. We felt our safari drivers/guide Mary and Michael went above and beyond - they were both incredible at spotting animals and extremely knowledgeable. All the staff were kind and we can’t forget our waiter Gloria who greeted us with a big smile every meal time. Overall the very best holiday we could have asked for.

Game drives all stunning, good fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. already plotting our return, and this time we will bring friends and family to share it with. Justice and Elvis were the best of hosts on the game drives.

    Incredible service from the time we arrived until we had left. We were lucky enough to spot the big 5 in just two game drives and witnessed a lion hunt. The open safari experience was exhilarating in comparison to other 5 star lodges visited previously. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! The luxury tent was superb in every aspect, exactly as advertised. Food was delicious and my husband is vegetarian so his meals were also well catered for and divine. We also tried the River Lodge Spa, this was one of the finest spas I have been too.

    The Kapama Game Reserve is the best cost benefit Lodge in Hoespruit! Everything is well organized and carefully planned. They pick you up at the airport, give you all the support during the stay and prepare the schedule perfectly for you to enjoy a memorable Safari Game, swimming pool, gym and meals in there. I spent my honeymoon and I couldn't chose any other place. All the team are so friendly and kind that I am sure I will be there a second time.

    Its a fantastic private reserve, easily accessible from the Airport with well organised private transfers. You can enjoy a lodge experience here, as well as a boutique hotel feel if you prefer. A perfect balance - the rangers and trackers are excellent, we saw the Big 5, smaller animals and a wonderful array of birds - great safari experience.
