Southern Camp offers luxury game lodge accommodation, warm hospitality and friendly service in a tranquil setting that will be savoured by even the most discerning nature lover.
It is the proud new addition to the Kapama Private Game Reserve family, and is situated in the south of the Big Five game reserve.
All 15 suites at Southern Camp have full en-suite bathrooms with picture windows to enjoy the surrounding scenery and birdlife. Air conditioning, minibars and tea and coffee stations are standard in all suites of this five-star safari accommodation.
Private patios offer the opportunity to enjoy relaxing sundowners, while game watching at the same time.
Breakfast and lunch are served in the elegant, open-sided dining room, which offers an enchanting dining experience. Décor is contemporary, understated and inspired by surrounding nature. The wine cellar is a focal point in the room, with the fine South Africa estate collection showcased behind frameless glass.
The traditional outdoor boma is the favoured setting for dinner, weather permitting. Illuminated by firelight and starry skies, diners will enjoy diverse and tasteful cuisine conjured by chefs right before them. Open fires are often used for cooking too, in true African style.
For a body workout, the fitness centre is equipped with state-of-the-art cardio and weight-lifting equipment from Technogym.
To find peace in paradise look no further than the ultra-luxurious Kapama Karula Lodge and Spa, where tranquillity resides.
An ideal place to relax with a good book or soak up the surrounding scenery, the lounge and pool deck are excellent vantage spots from which to game view too.
