Everything at River Lodge was just amazing, all of the staff are so friendly and the food is delicious, you get to pick from a set menu for each meal which changes each day and all drinks are included. The absolute highlight though is the safari itself, you get 2x 3 hour drives a day which go so quickly. Our guide Phillip and his tracker Kulani were absolutely incredible, they made sure we saw all the animals and got us really close to them. Phillip was so knowledgable and we loved having him as our guide, we got to see the big 5 several times and even a leopard cub! We had the best experience ever at River Lodge and highly recommend to anyone. We stayed 3 nights which was enough to see everything but we definitely didn’t want to leave!! ##### Hannah ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An amazing 4 days spent here. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Thankyou to the Reception team for traxking down our lost luggage. Thank you to the Management team who recognised it was a special occasion for us both and the room upgrade was amazing, thank you. Food, Pools, Hospitality, everything was perfect. But, the best was Nevermind and Anzi who guided us on the game drives where we managed to see the Big 5 and more including Hyena on a kill, stealing it from an out numbered Leopard, and a Leopard dining on its earlier kill. They went out of their way to track the animals. A special Thankyou to both Nevermind and Anzi. We will certainly.be back in a couple of years. ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosaline Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Memories to last a lifetime Sometimes, the stars do align. And it is easier to align if the game reserve staff go above and beyond. This game reserve did exactly that. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and decided on a whim to experience a game drive holiday. From the pickup at the airport to dropping off, our stay and experience here went far beyond our expectations. What makes this game reserve stand out is the friendliness and attention to detail each staff have, and they striving to make us feel at home and welcomed. The all inclusive stay has wonderful food and drinks. We stayed four nights and found it perfectly adequate to enjoy the two daily included game drives. We had the perfect guide and tracker, Edwin and Tokollo, whom we clicked well with, and sharing the vehicle with the cute couple David and Aggie too. Every game drive the six of us have together is wonderfully informative, funny and fun. Thank you both, Edwin and Tokollo for making this a perfect trip. Truly memories to last a lifetime. ##### Rosaline Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leela May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a fantastic property right inside the game reserve with daily game drives to catch the big five. The food and service, including impeccable hospitality were the highlight of staying here. It’s a beautiful, luxurious modern property, right across the HDS airport. Highly recommend staying for atleast 2 nights ideally three! ##### Leela Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amir Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super welcoming, friendly and safe.

They get to know each guest and pamper you, but the amazing staff also give you time and space to do your thing. Whether you want a romantic retreat, epic family vacation or a friend’s get-away, Kapama is an awesome spot. It is where I’ll take all my visitors who make the long journey to Southern Africa to come see me. ##### Kelly Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Karongwe - River Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Karongwe-River-Lodge.h6412853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown London](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-London-London-Hotels.0-n6358345-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Moncton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Moncton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Moncton.h22257772.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Fantasia-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h15466753.Hotel-Information) > > [Clearwater Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Clearwater-Hotels-Clearwater-Lodge.h11074946.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178245-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Welland](https://www.expedia.ca/Welland-Hotels.d7663.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Parking in Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Vancouver-Vancouver-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Parking.0-n6058432-0-tHotelswithFreeParking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Outpost & Pel's Post](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-The-Outpost-Lodge.h912179.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Belleville](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d6057820-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Saint Martin](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Saint-Martin-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6069955-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Toronto-Airport.h8051.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Guatemala City (GUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/gua/kelowna-to-guatemala-city) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/las/winnipeg-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Hyderabad (HYD) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hyd/yyc/hyderabad-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Entebbe (EBB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ebb/edmonton-to-entebbe) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Incheon (ICN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/icn/los-angeles-to-seoul) > > [Flights from ogdensburg intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ogs/flights-from-ogdensburg-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyj/toronto-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/cun/moncton-to-cancun) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Inverness](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Inverness.d1607.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Guelph](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Guelph.d8237.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages ### General
