Jun 12, 20200 comments

With South Africa moving from level 4 to level 3 on the 1st June, leisure accommodation is still not permissible Kapama Private Game Reserve decided to use this time as productively as possible, and commenced with the next phase of the Kapama River Lodge refurbishment project on 1st June.

To ensure our valued guests receive the best quality, service and value, Kapama has always maintained a regular refurbishment plan to keep up to date with global luxury trends and standards. This includes accommodation, facilities and features. This has been to maintain the incredibly high standard for which Kapama is renowned.

This next phase of refurbishment will include the lounge and pool deck which will be completed by July 2020. The upgrading of the 2 Royal suites as well as 33 of the standard suites into deluxe suites will be completed by 15th December. Guests can be assured there will be no interruption and no compromise on quality, luxury, value for money and more importantly the Kapama promise, during the refurbishment phase.

After the very successful addition of the 1st phase which included the new River Lodge reception area, game drive access bays, cocktail bar and pool, revealed on 1st November 2018, Kapama remains confident that this next phase for River Lodge will only heighten the luxurious feel of the 5-star establishment.

Each week, updates will be circulated with video and photos showing how the project is progressing.

We are very excited about this project and the benefit it will bring to Kapama River Lodge as well as the Kapama brand. We look forward to sharing this next chapter of the Kapama story with you.”

Harsh Times

Africa can be a harsh environment for animals. If there is little or limited rains, animals have to find a way to survive. During these harsh times, animals need to discover ways to access as much water, nutrients and moisture as possible. Being out on a game drive can give you a front row seat to witness just how amazing nature can be!
