Remote, charming and touched with a hint of romance, Kapamba’s four en-suite chalets redefine the standards for luxury in the bush. Unencumbered by a fourth wall, each chalet is open fronted affording guests sweeping views of the Kapamba River. As a turn down service, the camp staff tucks in every guest each night by drawing close the beautiful wrought iron gates that span the front of each chalet. The spider web effect of the iron gates offer guests protection from any unwanted night visitors and serve as a stunning backdrop against the expansive African sky.
Kapamba boasts the most intimate game viewing setting in the park; guests can relax and unwind while watching wildlife from the privacy of their spacious sunken baths. Combine this luxurious experience with a refreshing beverage and guests describe the unique experience as absolute perfection.
When not unwinding in the privacy of their chalets, guests can be found wading through the shallow waters of the Kapamba accompanied by their guide on the way to a special sundowner or intimate dinner party.  Kapamba is synonymous with luxury and guests seeking the ultimate in bush indulgence are sure to enjoy the spoils of this intimate camp.
