Escape to a remote wildlife reserve on the edge of Kruger National Park, in what’s known as the Greater Kruger Region – far from the crowds and deep in the heart of the wild. Your journey to Kapama Private Game Reserve, often called Africa’s Garden of Eden, begins with a scenic detour along one of South Africa’s most spectacular routes. Start the trip from Hoedspruit Eastgate Airport. Enjoy a guided road trip through the breathtaking Blyde River Canyon, with a stop at the iconic Three Rondavels viewpoint.

By late afternoon, arrive at Kapama, where safari dreams come to life. Home to a high density of wildlife, this 13,000-hectare private reserve offers incredible sightings of buffalo, elephants, antelope, and more — all roaming freely through vast savannahs and riverine forests.

Daily 4×4 sunrise and sunset game drives give you ample opportunities to spot the Big Five, while guided bush walks bring you closer to the region’s fascinating flora and smaller fauna. When you’re not out exploring, unwind in style — take a dip in the main pool as giraffes wander nearby, or enjoy a world-class spa experience infused with African-inspired treatments. Leaving won’t be easy, but the transfer service will take you to Nelspruit Airport for your flight – arriving home with full memory cards and an even fuller heart.
