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.”

Leopard Cubs Spotted

The Leopard is probably the most desired animal to be seen when out on a game drive but yet is the most difficult animal to find. They can be incredibly elusive at times and hide very well with extremely good camouflage. Not to mention they love to keep to themselves. We left Buffalo Camp for our morning safari, which in the summer time starts at around 6 am. We were extremely lucky and came across a female Leopard with her 2 cubs shortly into our drive.
Kapama Jackal vs Vulture

The Little Jackal that Could

On this particular day, I think the jackal thought Christmas had come early, with the huge carcass of this giraffe lying there for the taking, just for him. Or so he thought…!
