Tasteful, thatched Olifants floodplain lodge surrounded by Balule's pachyderms. Particularly elegant premium suites with natural design elements and some outdoor baths. Owner-led walking and driving activities. Ambitious cuisine and decent wine cellar.
Chacma is a tiny traditional thatched camp offering 3 family friendly chalets in diverse, rugged Balule landscape. With the Olifants river running through the reserve close by, elephants are omnipresent and Big Five are excellent. There are plenty of secret viewpoints and sundowner spots.
Buffalo Camp is basic, small yet elegant, and keenly priced. It exudes charm and character. Ten luxury tents are raised on stilts and, whilst there is no air conditioning, fans and a lovely pool provide relief from the heat. Big Five sightings are reliable and Kapama is easily accessible.
Large family-owned private reserve one fence away from Greater Kruger. With 13,000 hectares of its own enclosed land to traverse, it is large enough to feel wild and give you a good chance of seeing the Big Five in a 2 night stay. Good quick private lodge experience.
Karula is Kapama's most luxurious lodge with huge suites and private pools, two of which are lap length in size. Sublime tented suites contrast with elegant modern architecture in the central area. Remote and secluded, it is the most tranquil and exclusive of the five lodges.
Southern Camp is a medium sized lodge priced at the lower end of the five star bracket and, being fenced, offering decent chances of Big Five. Proximate to Eastgate airport and the R40, it is ideal for the full private lodge safari experience in short order when time is limited.
River Lodge offers the largest private bush accommodation in the Lowveld, with appropriately sized views of the Drakensberg mountains. On a private fenced reserve, it is fully featured with an excellent spa, offering good value and a quick way to see the Big Five when time is limited.
