Kapama Karula

Set on the banks of the Klaserie River which flows throughout the year, the seven luxury tents and five exclusive chalets that make up Kapama Karula - "the place of peace" - are in every way true to their name. The river glides smoothly forming sparkling pools that attract smaller riverine animals and a myriad of birds in every season.

This extraordinary camp, based on the recently acquired Gwalagwala camp has now been rebuild into one of the finest Camps in many respects. Consisting of seven luxury air-conditioned tents and five large exclusive chalets are the epitome of luxury. Each with a his and hers basin, inside and outside shower and sliding glass doors that will wrap around the chalet 260 degrees to offer guest the opportunity to have unrestricted views onto one of the most sought after locations - the Klaserie river. The 115m² chalets are air-conditioned and comes with every form of luxury most can think of.
