Kapama is home to the “Big Five’ – lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo – as well as giraffes, antelope, aardwolf and the chance to spot over 350 types of birds. Return for breakfast, then unwind with free time at the lodge, enjoying its amenities that include a spa and wellness center, pool and lounge, and more. This afternoon, we’ll head out for another game drive, with a special private dinner under the stars, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
