South Africa’s wild Limpopo Province is home to the fantastic Kapama Private Game Reserve – 13 000 hectares of wilderness, authentic and rugged, with the mammoth Drakensburg mountain range to the West and the world famous Kruger National Park to the East, this is also a place of luxury. Relaxing five star accommodation, professionally guided trips out into the bush aboard open 4 x 4s, and impossibly large populations of birds, impala and blue wildebeest combine with the relief of warm afternoon rains to create an atmosphere not easily found anywhere else.

Stylised and traditional, warm and inviting – Kapama Buffalo Camp is a quaint and exciting accommodation experience, five star luxury tented rooms, and intimately lit pathways, strategically placed help to create a romantic atmosphere of sepia glows and warmth.

Kapama Buffalo Camp is infused with the character of a serene destination with all the colour and wonder of the bush making you feel at home.

The main area of Hoyo Hoyo Lodge centres around a sunken fire pit, surrounded by a circular timber deck with magnificent views of the waterhole and surrounding savannah. The spacious and comfortable lounge and dining rooms, each with large fireplaces, reflect the flowing circular shapes of the suites. The rim-flow swimming pool is the perfect spot to chill-off, with drinks served in an authentic calabash.

A healer or ‘nanga’ plays an important role at the Lodge, providing guests with a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Tsonga people. Staff, in traditional Tsonga dress, entertains with storytelling, song and dance around the fire at night. Meals are a highlight at Hoyo Hoyo, with a fusion of traditional fare and European flair.

Experienced rangers lead early morning and late afternoon game drives in open game-viewing vehicles. Alternatively, guests may head out on self-drive game drives.

If required, Hoyo Hoyo can accommodate a maximum of 12 delegates in an informal conference set-up. Relaxing spa treatments are available on request and can be enjoyed in the privacy of the guest suites.
