Since arrival in Hoedspruit Airport and pick-up by Kapama staff we were blown away by the quality of service. The Kapama pivate game reserve itself is hard to describe, the nature, it's smells and sounds are another dimension. The co-existence of animals and people, the respect from rangers towards flora nad fauna within the reserve - it makes you rethink your way of living. Kapama River Lodge is one of the best resorts we've ever stayed. Number one is the people, who are working there, number two is the quality of food served in restaurant and the rooms are large, beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. Our tracker Fanie and driver-guide Happiness made the 4 ride's unforgettable. They were not only professional and friendly, but they shared their knowledge, interesting facts and stories about flora and fauna in Kruger. They were not only chasing the Big 5, but did so much more. We can't wait to return someday, thank You!

Exceptional service in an exceptional location. once you’ve done a safari in a private reserve you will never look back, and this is the best lodge in the best reserve.

Game drives all stunning, good fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. already plotting our return, and this time we will bring friends and family to share it with. Justice and Elvis were the best of hosts on the game drives.

We spent 2 nights here and loved every second. The lodge is pristine and finished to perfection. So many beautiful details in the decor and the outdoor area. The staff were welcoming and super attentive, we never had to ask for a drink refill. The food was AMAZING, three course meals with some choices. But of course, the highlight was the twice daily drives, guides were super friendly and we saw 4 of the big 5. Tea and coffee and snacks and drinks served during the drive. The fine detail of our stay was incredible. This newly opened lodge is a gem and we feel lucky to have experienced it.

We had the best time at Phelwana! We’d really recommend staying at the lodge. We stayed in the tent and it was immaculately clean. Every morning we were greeted with different animals at the tent like monkeys, baboons, bunnies, deer and even a baby giraffe! The staff were exceptional, really friendly and helpful. Every member of staff went above and beyond for us to ensure our stay was excellent. We especially loved Jeffrey who made sure our every meal was amazing and that we had everything we needed. He even taught us some of his mother tongue language and we loved his jokes! Sly was an excellent guide who was so knowledgeable on our game drives. The game drives and bush walk were so cool and we saw so many animals like hippos, zebra, giraffes. The food was so nice, every meal we had was perfect! Inkomu swinene 🙏

Incredible location well located in Hoedspruit! Ruan and his family (owners of the lodge) were super welcoming and so friendly. They let their home become ours which was a very personal touch! Would highly recommend!

We can recommend this accommodation 1000%. Nothing is missing, it is pure luxury! We have traveled all over the world but have never experienced anything so great like this. The hosts will do everything possible to make you happy. The best wines are available. If you want, you can also sleep under the stars. The daily breakfast is a work of art that the hostess prepares herself. The entire complex is decorated with a lot of love down to the smallest detail. If you want to feel like a superstar, you should definitely book here. We can only say thank you very much and hope to come back again.

Makuwa Safari Lodge is a hidden gem, Simone and Morne are the kindest hosts you could wish for, managing everything with the lightest of touches. They make sure everything is excellent for you without being intrusive. Simone's cooking is exceptional and it's worth staying just to experience the quality. The incredible bonus of staying at Makuwa is its cost. I'm not sure that its value can be matched, and the very high customer rating average indicates that many visitors agree. We'll be back!

    The Kapama Game Reserve is the best cost benefit Lodge in Hoespruit! Everything is well organized and carefully planned. They pick you up at the airport, give you all the support during the stay and prepare the schedule perfectly for you to enjoy a memorable Safari Game, swimming pool, gym and meals in there. I spent my honeymoon and I couldn't chose any other place. All the team are so friendly and kind that I am sure I will be there a second time.
