Large private reserve
Limpopo, South Africa
Kapama is a Big Five reserve on the western edge of the Greater Kruger, next to Hoedspruit's airport, which makes it one of the easiest reserves in the country to reach: a scheduled flight and a ten-minute transfer. It is a family-owned reserve with several lodges under one operator, guided drives included, and elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo and leopard on the property. It is inside the malaria area of the Lowveld. Hoedspruit's cheetah and rehabilitation centres are next door, and the Blyde River Canyon and the Panorama Route are within an hour.

Why book here
Wild places survive when the communities around them earn more from protecting wildlife than from anything that would replace it. Every stay you book through Spekboom carries a conservation contribution built into the price, never added on top, so choosing where you sleep becomes a way to fund the people and projects keeping this landscape intact.
