Day 1
Kapama is the most beautiful private reserve game concession to enjoy safari game viewing of the Big Five and the secret seven of the African bush! There's a whole myriad of other animal and birdlife that is special and unique to the region. Each day you will enjoy 2 game drives at 6am and 4pm (each a duration of 2.5 hours) guided by a professional and highly experienced game ranger in an open sided land-rover. After the morning drive, you'll return to the Kapama River Lodge for breakfast and subsequently enjoy the surroundings on the viewing decks or by the pool. You can also take a spa treatment or simply read a book. You then lunch before getting ready for the afternoon game drive starting at 4pm, during which, you will stop at a secluded and safe haven in the bush for a sundowner. You then return to the lodge for a special dinner in the 'kraal' or open boma around a fire. This is one of the most luxurious bucket list adventures in the world, enabling you to reconnect with nature.

Expect warm hospitality, extraordinary scenery and unforgettable game viewing opportunities, including the chance to spot the Big Five. Motswari means “to conserve and protect” in Tswana, which is exactly what the team is committed to doing. You'll go on excellent game drives in over 60,000 hectares of land. You might be lucky enough to spot the two white lions! With some of the finest game viewing in South Africa, you can also enjoy bird watching (with over 360 species) as well as the plethora of Big 5 free roaming game.

5.0/5We had always wanted to experience South Africa and do "The Big 5" game park stay. We looked at booking locally from Australian companies but they all seemed so expencive and didntgive us the experience we wanted in a small personal tour without breaking the bank. During my searches of the internet i discovered Greatest Africa, a local SA company specialising in tailor made trips. Vanessa was amazing from start to finish, some 3 years ago i had my 3rd throat cancer surgery leaving me unable to eat any food via my mouth and all meals need to be pureed to a fine liquid somi can tube feed via a PEG. Vanessa was able to understand my needs and after knowing what type of high powered blender was needed she was able to book us into an amazin hotel in Capetown and 2 x 5 star game lodges with the correct blender to make all my meals. My wife said it was her best holiday ever, the game lodges were perfect, the food amazing and the total experience and game drives ons to remember forever. Thankyouever so much for our mazing holiday and for your personal and profestional service. Highly recomended to all, not just us "Tubies"

We have used Greatest Africa several times during our visits to South Africa. It's easy to communicate with them and always good suggestions and quick answers to our requests and questions. They have a very good software generating your itinerary with good tourist information. Each time we take a vine tour with Rickard. Then we have come to very nice wine tastings at the best vineyards. We have also visited some very interesting cultural places of interest. The hotels we have been booked at have been of the highest class and very varied. Central in Hermanus, where you could see the whales from the balcony. Nice vineyards, where you had very good wine and food. Far out in the wilderness, where the antelopes passed a few meters from the tables when we finished the dessert. Central in Cape Town, where it's very close to Waterfront. I can really recommend Greatest Africa for a nice vacation in South Africa.

Having spent my youth in South Africa, I returned with a group of friends for my 70th birthday. The 2-week stay in the Cape was terrific. Greatest Africa contributed significantly for a pleasant stay in the Stellenbosch Winelands, a 3-day game safari a 3 hours drive from Cape Town, all culminating with several days in CT itself : a unique city & setting with incredible diversity. Greatest Africa provided a very attentive & responsive service that resulted in a highly successful trip. They understood our needs & found solutions in all situations.
