A Day at Kapama Game Reserve, Hoedspruit

Your day at Kapama may begin bright and early with the first safari drive. As you set off at dawn, a professional guide will likely escort you through the lush reserve, providing expert commentary on the wildlife you encounter. From large mammals such as lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo to many bird species, you'll likely have an opportunity to see and learn about the diverse inhabitants of the reserve. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture the sunrise and the waking wildlife!

After the drive, you may return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast. Once you've refueled, it's common to set out on a bush walk. Led by an experienced ranger, you can learn about medicinal plants, insects, birds, and traditional tracking skills. 

Then, the staff may serve lunch at the lodge, after which you can enjoy some downtime. Kapama has an impressive wellness center with various spa treatments to rejuvenate your mind and body. You can choose from massages, facials, exfoliation, body wraps, and beauty treatments, all using natural botanicals like jasmine and geranium. If you prefer a more active relaxation, a fully equipped fitness center and a shimmering pool are at your disposal.

In the late afternoon, it's common to set off on the sunset safari. The reserve takes on a completely different character as the day draws to a close and the light softens. Keep your eyes peeled for nocturnal animals beginning their nightly routines. The drive will likely conclude with a beautiful African sunset before returning to the lodge, where you can enjoy dinner under the African stars.
