Ten safari tents, all decked out in classic safari nostalgia style and connected by wooden walkways, make this a wonderful bush experience – as with the best tented camps, you get that sense of closeness to the African bush without compromising on comfort. The classic look spills over into the main wood-and-stone lodge building, a conversion of Kapama's original farmhouse.
