Before sunrise, enjoy coffee and light snacks before boarding a private safari vehicle and heading into the reserve with an experienced conservation team. Prior to departure, you will receive a comprehensive safety briefing along with valuable information about rhino conservation and anti-poaching initiatives.
Once a rhino has been located, you will witness the careful wildlife management procedures performed by qualified veterinarians and conservation specialists.

After the rhino has safely recovered and returned to the wild, return to the lodge for relaxation and lunch. Later in the afternoon, enjoy another exciting game drive through Kapama Private Game Reserve followed by dinner at the lodge.
Wake early for an optional morning safari drive led by your experienced ranger. Early mornings in the African bush offer some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities as predators remain active and the landscape comes alive with birdsong and wildlife activity.
Upon returning to the lodge, enjoy a hearty breakfast before spending the day at leisure. Relax beside the swimming pool, indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment, or simply admire the peaceful surroundings from your private suite.
In the late afternoon, gather for high tea before embarking on another game drive through the reserve. Each safari offers unique wildlife encounters and opportunities to experience the beauty of the African wilderness from a different perspective.

On your final morning, rise early for one last safari experience in the African bush. After coffee and snacks, head out on a morning game drive as the reserve awakens with the first light of day.
This is an ideal opportunity to capture final wildlife photographs and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the wilderness before your journey home. During the drive, stop once more in a secluded location for refreshments while soaking in the final moments of your safari adventure.
