Do NOT miss this!

From the moment you are met at the airport, the adventure begins! The staff, the food, the accommodations, the safari drives, the hospitality - amazing!! I won’t spoil details - you’ll want to discover them. But then you’ll know! This is an adventure that is a lifetime memory - do it at least once!

Exceeded expectation

What a fantastic experience we had at Kapama Buffalo Camp. This was our first safari and we were told by several experienced safari goers that we couldn’t have chosen better. Our rangers were brilliant, so knowledgeable and caring with the animals. Our sightings were awesome and every day was different. The staff were lovely and we were made to feel so welcome and looked after. The food was incredible, you don’t go hungry! Just loved it all

A brilliant experience

This was the most amazing experience we have ever had on holiday, when we arrived at Hoedsprut airport we were apprehensive of what was going to happen. We were met by Tambo our guide/tracker/driver even waiter, he could not have been more helpful. Leaving the airport to go to camp 30 minutes away on our safari jeep he explained we were now on safari, sure enough he was showing us Impala giraffe and many others. Arriving at camp we were met by the lovely Natalie who oversees the camp and made us so welcome. We left on our evening safari with Tambo and spotter Kenneth who again were so friendly, they showed us the wildlife, looked after us, it was astounding how they could find them, track them, even the lions were 6-10 feet from us, elephants, leopards, saw the big 5 in a few days, absolutely brilliant. Out early in the morning to find animals again and they sure did, zebra, rhino, hippos, it was amazing, something we will never forget. Food in the camp was first class, you’ll never eat the amount of food that’s on offer and certainly up there with Michelin star cuisine. We certainly will be back, God Willing

Easy and wonderful

I found booking a safari very intimidating but Buffalo Camp could not have been easier and it far surpassed our expectations. The blend of luxury and friendliness is just right. We had an extraordinary time and immediately when we got home started looking to see when we could return.

Stupendous Experience

There is nothing we can criticize about our 4-night stay at Kapama Buffalo Camp - food was good variety and excellent quality, staff was friendly and helpful and just the best, the game drives were awesome with different experiences each time out and one of the best drivers we have ever had, the tents were extremely comfortable and clean and had everything we could have asked for. Just can't imagine it being any better.

Bucket list safari at first-class resorts

We loved having the experience of two excellent & very different resorts with excellent staff. Kapama River Lodge was larger with more than one restaurant. Kapama Buffalo Camp was an intimate tented camp - loved watching the mischievous monkeys playing near the one restaurant every day. Both resorts had terrific food and very responsive service-oriented staff. Our drivers and spotters at both resorts were very knowledgeable, personable and really great.
