About Kapama Game Reserve
Kapama Game Reserve is situated in the Limpopo Province, South Africa and was proclaimed a private nature reserve in December 1993. Covering approximately 13 000 hectares of prime big game territory, Kapama Game Reserve has succeeded in combining the wilderness of the bush with the comforts of five-star hospitality and facilities.
Did you know? Twelve African elephants arrived at Kapama in 2002, relocated from Zimbabwe where their safety was in jeopardy. Today they take visitors on comfortable game rides, single file through the bush, their silence only adding to the momorable experience.
The name comes from Kapama, a Swazi king, whose tribe inhabited and hunted the northern Drakensberg mountain region around Mariepskop back in the 1880s.
A game relocation programme was introduced and the Kapama reserve now supports a wide variety of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, and large populations of giraffe, impala, blue wildebeest and kudu.
Predators include lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena and many smaller species.
Bird-watching is most rewarding and more than 350 bird species have been recorded, including the rare Gymnogeg and Knob-billed duck.
Game viewing during the hot summer months (October to April) is more comfortable in the early mornings and late afternoon when it is cooler. Late afternoon rain showers and not uncommon and provide much relief for both humans and animals.
