8 day Kapama River Lodge and Bazaruto Lodge
Kapama is one of South Africa’s largest privately owned game reserves, perfectly positioned in the Kruger National Park safari area, renowned for its high density of big game animals. A game drive in Kapama Game Reserve, with a qualified ranger and expert tracker, reveals wild animals and many secrets of the African bush.
The Bazaruto Lodge is situated on Bazaruto Island surrounded by the Indian Ocean, approximately 800 km to the north of Maputo, the capital of Mozambique.
The rooms have been luxuriously furnished with the entire amenities one expects. Each palm-thatched room is air conditioned and includes ceiling fans to relieve guests from the natural tropical heat. Mosquito nets are draped from each bed and there is an outdoor porch with wood furniture. The rooms have en-suite bathrooms and a private open air shower.

DAY 1 - JOHANNESBURG TO KAPAMA RIVER LODGE
Depart Johannesburg by road to Kapama River Lodge. Discover this amazing wilderness and extraordinary scenery en route to the lodge.
DAY 2 - KAPAMA GAME RESERVE
Expect a wake up call at between 5am and 5.30am and gather for tea or coffee and rusks before heading out at first light. If you are lucky, the big cats will still be around after their night of hunting. This is Big 5 country (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo) all of which are possible to see during a two-day safari in Kapama Game Reserve.
There are also many other species to be seen, large and small, as well as fascinating plants and colourful birds. Stop halfway through the morning game drive for hot drinks and rusks from the Landrover snack box and return at around 9am for breakfast. During the rest of the day, you are likely to see wildlife like nyala antelope and vervet monkeys around the lodges.
At about 3.30pm everybody convenes for high tea, before departing with the same ranger/tracker team for the day's second African bush safari.
Enjoy a sundowner drink along the way (not included in the tariff), and get out of the vehicle to stretch your legs and watch the sun go down over the distant Drakensberg Mountains.
As darkness descends it's time to return to the safety of the Landrover and let the tracker scan the landscape with a spotlight picking out the glinting eyes of nocturnal animals. Return to the lodge at around 7pm, where there is time to freshen up before dinner. (B, L, D)
DAY 3 - KAPAMA GAME RESERVE
Spend your days engaging in the wonders of nature on game drives or just relax by enjoying what the lodge has to offer like the Wellness Centre. Nestled in the African bush is a piece of paradise designed to uplift your mind, body and soul. Complete with a state of the art gym, equipped with cardio and weight training facilities, the centre energizes and uplifts in the healing presence of nature.
While connecting with the call of the wild indulge in an array of uniquely designed spa treatments. These include facial, body and beauty treatments. Two signature treatments romantically merge the needs of couples. The Marula Rasul Steam Treatment is a sensual experience for two. Merging the wisdom of the Orient with the raw energy of Africa, this magical treatment balances the elements of water, fire, earth and air within the body. Another unique treatment for couples is the Kapama Pinotage Bliss; combining a deep body massage with an aromatic bathing experience in a detoxifying vine extract.
Stepping from one invigorating treatment to the next, a lap pool welcomes you to lie back and relax under a breathtaking bushveld sky. Reconnect with your inner beauty and strength as you lose yourself in an African panoramic vista. (B, L, D)
