Kapama River Lodge

We stayed only one night at this beautiful lodge, as we had a reservation at another property within the reserve, but it was more than enough to make our stay truly memorable. Upon arrival, we enjoyed a beautiful and delicious lunch — the food was excellent and the service, outstanding. Afterwards, we went on our first game drive in a private vehicle, which, in my opinion, makes all the difference. During this very first drive, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five — an incredibly exciting experience. Back at the lodge, we had a very enjoyable dinner as well. In fact, the food throughout our stay was consistently excellent. The rooms are superb — very comfortable and seemingly new or recently renovated. The shower is great, and the bed is extremely comfortable. The following morning, we went on another game drive, which was just as beautiful. We saw many animals again, except for the leopard, which seems to be the most elusive. After returning, we went straight to breakfast, which was abundant and delicious, with a wide variety of buffet options. Later, we enjoyed a massage at the spa, which features a beautiful pool. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and quite cold, so we couldn’t fully enjoy the outdoor area. We really liked the lodge. As we were on our honeymoon, we chose to stay just one night to experience it. One thing to note is that the lodge is somewhat larger than others in the reserve, with more rooms and groups. For those seeking a more intimate

We enjoyed every aspect of the lodge, from the room to the spa to the restaurant to the safari! The staff are genuinely kind and very helpful. Unfortunate for us, a tropical cyclone moved in on just our second day and we were all forced to stay in and not go out on safari for our safety. The staff took such good care of us all, ensuring we were comfortable and cared for. While other lodges were closing and being evacuated, Kapama River Lodge did not miss a beat. In addition, they took in guests from other lodges and gave them the best experience possible. I will say, we had such an incredible first two safaris, seeing so many animals and learning so much from our guides, that despite everything we still left fulfilled and happy! I cannot wait to return to Kapama, and will be telling everyone who will listen about this amazing company!!

we got a stomach bug from the hotels food which compromised half or stay. We had to skip half of the game drives which was really bad. Hotel management could have handled the situation but they couldnt care less

Super welcoming, friendly and safe. Very attentive to details.
