The tour of the place at the beginning was a good touch with someone available on arrival. The place is well stocked and inviting for a relaxing time at the Den. Hosts were extremely friendly, quick to respond and happy to help where possible. Animal viewings in the morning were unexpected treat!

What a fantastic lodge this is, super comfy room with the best outdoor shower of Africa (love it 🚿). Great food, very friendly staff and perhaps most of all, giraffes 🦒 walking around your room. Highly recommended 👌

The place and the space was really good, home away from home we enjoyed our stay and the animals were visiting us while relaxing outside. Yooh! And the shops are very close by. We'll visit again 😃

It was a brilliant experience, in particular the game drives and being out in the wild.
The resort is excellent!
Tips:
No loo on a 3-hour game drive so don’t drink too much before heading out.
For photographers - consider using two cameras - short lens and long lens ones. Saves having to switch lens if you have two cameras ready. Speed if reaction is required to capture some shots.

A great location for some rest and relaxation.
A great location for some rest and relaxation. I went on a Big 5 safari game drive, and got to see the animals up close. I also had a heavenly spa experience at Karuna, and visited the nearby reptile park to see some rare snake species.
Lots of restaurants around to try out a variety of meals, I went to the Club House and had tasty ribs. Then the breakfast at Aragula is to die for.

The food in River Lodge was superb, and the service from all staff from game drives and walks, bar and restaurant, spa and house keeping were fabulous. A 3 day stay minimum would be recommended, but we did 5 and didnt want to leave.

Great central point for exploring the Kruger Park, private game reserves, Blyde River Canyon and many other spots in the region. Many lodges to choose from, tours, charters, restaurants, shopping centers in the town. Agricultural hotspot, with many mango and citrus farms, plus macadamia and avocado farms nearby.

This is part of the Greater Kruger Park and the game move freely across a huge area. Klaserie offers a more private and quieter experience that the main Kruger Park. The game is plentiful and it's not unusual to encounter the big 5 on any one day.

This was my fourth time at Kapama.
This was my fourth time at Kapama. Saw the big five within the first day. It never disappoints. This is a magical place that makes me happy. The guide and the tracker are very knowledgeable and make the ride enjoyable. The food is exceptional with different options at each meal. The staff is accommodating and pleasant and makes you feel like you’re at home. They go above and beyond to make your stay the best experience ever.

Impressive little town with lots to do in town and in surrounding areas. The town had great little shops and amazing restaurants with lovely ambiance and views. It felt clean and the roads recently tarred. The grass of the game reserves' boundaries next to the main roads were all cut which looked well kept and neat.
It was just disappointing that it was not possible to do self drives or walks inside any of the surrounding game reserves unless you were staying in the reserve. The Kruger was your only option.
My favourite restaurants were the Blue Mountain restaurant, The Argula Experience at Zandspruit and Aerotel.
Great trips in the surrounding area were Blyde river canyon boat excursion, Mango Mohlatsi and Maholoholo rehabilitation centre.
Had a great trip to the Kruger Park entering at the Orpen gate and taking the Timbavati road to Olifants camp and the river dirt road to Letaba and exiting via the Phalaborwa gate. Saw lots of game following the dirt roads next to the rivers.
