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.

This property is incredible! The rooms were stunning and so large. I had no idea how amazing the safari rides would be- Justice and Elvis did such an amazing job at making us feel safe and finding/getting up close to the big 5. The service is impeccable- Tinyiko our server was so kind and we felt so cared for. I wasn’t expecting much for the food- due to it being all inclusive- but it was absolutely amazing quality, ingredients and preparation.

Buffet and continental breakfast options with warm dishes, fresh pastries and fruits are available each morning at the villa. Guests can grab a bite to eat in the in-house family-friendly restaurant, which specialises in African cuisine and also offers vegetarian, vegan and dairy-free options.

From the moment we arrived we knew this was going to be a special place. Last year we also stayed in a game reserve very close to Ukanyi and thought this would take some beating but Ukanyi certainly did. The Villa was sensational and words or photos can never show you what it’s really like. From the pick up at the airport to the short drive to the game reserve we knew then we were in for a spectacular treat. On arrival to the Villa we was greeted by the manager Junce who introduced us the our chef Riaan, our waiter Jim and our housekeeper whose name escapes me and proceeded to show us around this spectacular Villa. All I say is this place is an incredible experience and one we will never forget. The food prepared by our chef Riaan was sensational and he described every dish that he cooked like he was on Masterchef having to explain it to his peers, Jim our waiter also left nothing out in his presentation and service and of course the Villa was spotless clean every day apart from the odd bug that chose to come in during the day which of course is hard to avoid living in the bush. As for the game drives they too didn’t disappoint with seeing all of the big 5 and much more. With it being our 31 year old son first every Safari he was blown away by it all, for him to see in abundance Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, Leopard, Rhinos, Giraffe, Warrhog, Cheetah, Hippo, Nyala, Waterbuck & many many more on his very first visit was amazing. The information given by our game drive team of Coswell & Jika was second to none, their knowledge of this area(16,500 hectares) was incredible. The highlight of the game drive was the spotting of a male Leopard just as the sun was going down will live with us all forever.

Set 20 km from Drakensig Golf Club, Little Africa Safari Lodge offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

A buffet breakfast is available every morning at the lodge. At Little Africa Safari Lodge you will find a restaurant serving African and South African cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options can also be requested.

We stayed at the Little Africa Safari Lodge as part of a 10 day exploration of Kruger and the greater Kruger area. This place stood out in that being a boutique size meant that we received great service in a relaxed setting. We saw all of the top five and often at very close proximity. We also saw two bonus cheetahs. At night you could hear lions roaring near by during the full moon. The food was delicious and plentiful. The pool was refreshing on a hot day. The bed was very, very comfortable and the glamping tent has all that you need. Would stay again and recommend to others.

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.

    Everything was exceptional- from our welcome through to our departure at the airport. This was a family holiday - my husband and two daughters hadn’t been on safari before and really had an experience which will stay with them for life. we stayed in the newly renovated deluxe suite rooms which I’d highly recommend

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food was delicious, the drinks were lovely and available throughout the day at different areas all inclusive in the price. The view at the spa and the bathroom were breathtaking and we enjoyed the game drives. We arrived late on the first day however the staff was kind enough to arrange dinner for my family.

    Pick up from the airport Hoedspruit in an open jeep, you see animals few minutes after leaving the airport: great start. We stayed in a very large, modern and comfortable family villa. The rangers and game drives were fantastic: we saw the big 5 from very close and many other animals. Food & drinks were really good, too. Nice pool area. We fully recommend Kapama, it was such a unique and memorable stay!
