Giving back

The Thulamahashe Children’s home for orphaned and abandoned children is 4o kilometers outside of Kapama Private Game Reserve. A trust was established in 2009 and with fun raising and contributions from Kapama, this children’s home is a safe haven in the area. One of the highlights of the year is when Kapama treats the children to a game drive and Christmas dinner.  This is a wonderful time for everyone involved!
