5 Star Experience!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 May 2024
Everything from the accommodations and meals to the game drives and guides were exemplary at Kapama Buffalo Camp. The upscale tents are spotless (you hardly feel as if you're camping), very well appointed with a comfortable king size bed, plenty of refreshments, a lovely verandah for even more game viewing.

We enjoyed the fact that the camp is small, it accommodates only 20 people in 10 tents is quiet and peaceful. The food is outstanding, the selection of wines is excellent and the wait staff are delightful. Everyone at the camp was so friendly and helpful.

Our guides Mark and Brighton were excellent and added to our overall enjoyment of our visit, with great tracking of animals and birds.

Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Kapama Buffalo Camp in May 2024. We saw lots of wildlife and spent one night on the platform under the stars - highly recommend if you are eager to listen to the sounds of the Bush at night! The accommodations were very clean, food was great and the staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Kapama Southern Camp provided an exceptional safari experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived until we departed, we felt truly special and well taken care of. Our guides, Oupa and Jabu, ensured that every safari was memorable with sightings beyond our wildest dreams. The deluxe suite with our own private pool was absolutely worth it, offering a luxurious retreat after thrilling days of adventure. The food was exceptional, and the company was fantastic. A weekend away with my sister that I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend!

5 Stars excellent game drives at Kapama. We love our professional and experienced guide Themba Mkansi as well as the strong network of additional spotters on each jeep from this private safari. With a stroke of luck we found the big 5: Lions, Leopards, Rhinos, Buffalos, and Elephants - all in a single day. Worth every penny to visit any one of the five Kapama lodges (Buffalo Camp, Karula, River Lodge, Southern Camp, Kruger Homestead), over any of the hotels in Hazyview - a day in Kapama wins a week outside at the public safari hands down. We are definitely coming back again to Kapama! Thank you for the hospitality and memories of a lifetime. Thank you Themba Mkansi ♥️

Our stay at the camp was amazing. Nothing to wish for. Quality of food was great, the room was terrific so quiet except for the lions roaring or other animals in the night. The tracker and driver went the extra mile to find animals for us including a cougar and lions stalking at night. Highly recommend the camp for all your safari wants and needs.
