Well, this was my fourth time staying in Kapama. it is certainly a magical place and never disappoints our guide Stjohn was knowledgeable, interesting and made the experience one will never forget. We stayed in A-villa and enjoyed our private pool. We had a group of monkeys that would come see us. We saw all big five within the first day. I’m looking forward to coming back. The service was impeccable, and we were even treated to a safari breakfast. All the staff were accommodating sure our stay was five star.

Situated on a small nature reserve near Hoedspruit, Bundox Safari Lodge is a stylish bush camp located within 50 km of the Kruger National Park. The lodge is surrounded by lush greenery and features a viewing deck and outdoor pool.

The team was excellent! Tanya was great and helped with arranging the airport pickup, all day safari and even the morning and evening drives. Also a shout-out to Emmanuel who made sure our mealtimes were special. His warmth and hospitality was unparalleled. And our favorite team member was Peanut! The property itself is well situated. It’s not too fancy but great value for the price.

    Incredible service from the time we arrived until we had left. We were lucky enough to spot the big 5 in just two game drives and witnessed a lion hunt. The open safari experience was exhilarating in comparison to other 5 star lodges visited previously. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! The luxury tent was superb in every aspect, exactly as advertised. Food was delicious and my husband is vegetarian so his meals were also well catered for and divine. We also tried the River Lodge Spa, this was one of the finest spas I have been too.

    Jabulani Safari is a once in a lifetime+ experience. If you love African elephants, it is one of the best places to be able to experience them simultaneously with staying at an exclusive luxury safari property.

    Its a fantastic private reserve, easily accessible from the Airport with well organised private transfers. You can enjoy a lodge experience here, as well as a boutique hotel feel if you prefer. A perfect balance - the rangers and trackers are excellent, we saw the Big 5, smaller animals and a wonderful array of birds - great safari experience.
