As we settle into the New Year with new goals, dreams and aspirations set before us, why not add your dream vacation to the list.
If a bush experience, luxury accommodation together with a complete wellness indulgence is part of your bucket list this year, Kapama is ready and waiting to submerge you in a holistic connection with nature.
As part of the greater Kruger area, vast herds of buffalo, elephants and antelope are resident on Kapama Private Game Reserve, along with plentiful predators. The reserve is a slice of wilderness paradise. For your wildlife experience, accompanied by a skilled ranger and assistant ranger, guests can expect to encounter a diverse range of animal and bird species as well the Big Five.
Besides the wildlife experience, a stay at any one of the four Kapama Lodges and Camps’ offers incredible luxury accommodation, exquisite dining and of course our award-winning Spas.
A concept that forms an integral part of the Kapama experience is our focus on wellness. The Spa & Wellness Centres at Kapama Karula and Kapama River Lodge offer a wellness retreat where the mind, body and soul can blossom. Now more than ever we need to focus on self-care and seek out sanctuaries to destress and connect with nature.
A visit to Kapama’s African oasis is just the answer.
MENDING THE MIND
Rejuvenate the mind and soul with Kapama’s holistic wild wellness indulgence. Let the tranquil surroundings become a sanctuary for your mind and a wellness shift. Restore balance and regain vitality through a daily guided movement session and one of our unique African inspired wellness treatments. From guided bush walks to yoga and meditation, Kapama’s Wellness Centres will take you on a holistic wellness journey.
SPLENDID SPA
Being surrounded by the beauty of nature and all its splendour is the perfect place to relax, recharge and re-centre. A splendid spa experience at one of Kapama’s spas allows you to unwind and destress with unique pamper treatments and luscious aromatherapy oils. Let our expert therapists spoil and pamper you with any one of our African-inspired beauty treatments like the marula steam treatment or a unique body massage using a rungu or calabash.
FUEL FOR THE SOUL
Guests enjoying the peaceful setting at River Lodge and Karula Spa can extend their time in the tranquillity of their surroundings and enjoy a delicious and health-conscious menu. No need to immediately rush back to your suite or villa, rather relax on one of the loungers and soak up the ambience.
With a selection of lighter meals made from carefully selected local, seasonal and fresh ingredients, the menu compliments a holistic wellness experience that fuels the mind, body and soul. Kapama caters for multiple dietary requirements. Our dedicated team are happy to accommodate your preferences for the ultimate Wellness experience.
