BEYOND LUXURY
KAPAMA KARULA
With its light, airy, open spaces and views from every angle, Karula is truly the pride of Kapama Private Game Reserve as our flagship lodge. Effortlessly elegant and stylish, Karula will steal the breath of even the most seasoned traveller. This luxury safari accommodation lodge near the Kruger National Park is every discerning traveller’s perfect escape.
The lounge area leading onto the viewing deck is an excellent vantage spot from which to game view. The friendly barman is on duty all day to entice you with tantalising cocktails.
The superbly decorated library, adorned with relaxing loungers and couches is the perfect spot for a game of chess or to curl up with a good book and escape to a place away from time. Step out onto the viewing deck to watch the Klasserie River flow below you and be on the lookout for wildlife coming to the water for a drink.
An additional lunch dining option can be experienced at the bar and viewing deck or around the Kapama Karula fire pit deck area. The perfect place to soak up the surrounding scenery and watch as antelope graze in front of you. Each of the superior luxury villas has its own heated pool.
