Kapula Camp

The Kapula Camp (Hwange Zimbabwe) is situated adjacent to the famous Masuma dam picnic site. Located in the heart of Hwange National Park. Among others the largest National Park in Zimbabwe. The Kapula Camp is a stone’s throw away from Victoria Falls and the neighbouring countries.

Hwange National Park occupies roughly 15 000km2 in the North West corner of Zimbabwe. You can easily access Hwange and the camp from Botswana, South Africa and Zambia. Game viewing is also excellent in the dry winter months from June to October. During the full moon you can also expect spectacular moonlit game viewing from your tent deck.

We would recommend Selfdrive4x4.com to our friends

We booked a last minute 17 day self drive trip through Namibia with this company and everything was just perfect. Contact with the company was very pleasant and they kept us posted with updates about the progress of our trip. Gps, maps, book and 12V equipment was sent to our home as soon as our trip was confirmed.

Price wise it was a great deal and everything in Namibia (car and layovers) were to our satisfaction. We would definitely book again with this company and we would recommend it to our friends.
