Kapama Private Nature Reserve is situated close to the Kruger National Park and was proclaimed a private nature reserve in December 1993.
Covering approximately 12 000 hectares of prime big game territory, Kapama Private Nature Reserve has succeeded in combining the wilderness of the bush with the comforts of five-star hospitality and facilities.
The name comes from Kapama, a Swazi king, whose tribe inhabited and hunted the northern Drakensberg mountain region around Marieskop back in the 1880's.

Game Sightings At Kapama Private Nature Reserve
Bird-watching is most rewarding and more than 350 species have been recorded, including the rare Gymnogeg and Knob-billed duck. The vegetation is typical of the lowveld: mixed woodland, which is dominated by a variety of acacia and bushwillow species, but also includes tamboti, marula, silver clusterleaf and jackalberry.
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 in summer and provide much sought-after relief for both humans and animals.
