The weekend of 14th November 2021, Kapama River Lodge welcomed our first guests to enjoy the newly built dining experience: Xitsumbeni – meaning: “where meals are prepared and enjoyed”.

The expansive restaurant, with romantic nooks and relaxing lounge areas, wraparound windows & stargazing fire-pits, will submerge guests in an African culinary indulgence.
 
The official opening was in December and since then we have enjoyed numerous special events including weddings and birthday celebrations.
 
We look forward to sharing more about this new chapter in River Lodge’s story in the weeks to come so be sure to check back soon.
