    We had three fantastic days at Kapama Game Reserve, Buffalo Camp. The tents were incredible and the food very good. The game drives were amazing. Our game driver did a great job. Very knowledgeable information given during the drives.

    We found the lighting in our tent to be very dim. A hook to hang small towels and facecloths would be helpful. Shelves or drawers to put things would be more useful than the tub which we didn’t use. I didn’t like the window on the world in the shower!

    Food was excellent. We appreciated the bottle of wine for our Anniversary, thank you. Our guides, Themba and Kenneth, were the best! Friendly, knowledgeable, sense of humour. They did everything they could to ensure we saw the animals we wanted to see. Highly recommend them!

    It was perfect

    The Buffalo Camp provides a wonderful experience. The rooms are spacious and beautiful, and the food is creative and delicious. But the main reason for going is the chance to see the wild animals. We had never expected to be in such close proximity to such a wide range of African animals. The driver and tracker were exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable, and every excursion into the bush was a memorable experience. It completely exceeded our expectations. We were so so sorry to leave.

    We (couple) LOVED everything there. I cannot overstate my appreciation of this stay at Kapama Buffalo Camp. We felt warmly welcomed and looked after, it was lovely from start till the end - all the hospitality staff were wonderful at their job. We were very fortunate for the safari game drives as well being able to spot all the Big 5 and the experience was made amazing by Themba and Foster. It was a life-changing experience. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    I honestly cannot point out anything! It was amazing!

    Incredible service from the time we arrived until we had left. We were lucky enough to spot the big 5 in just two game drives and witnessed a lion hunt. The open safari experience was exhilarating in comparison to other 5 star lodges visited previously. The staff are so friendly and welcoming! The luxury tent was superb in every aspect, exactly as advertised. Food was delicious and my husband is vegetarian so his meals were also well catered for and divine. We also tried the River Lodge Spa, this was one of the finest spas I have been too.

    The Kapama game drives are probably the most memorable thing of my entire trip in South Africa. The staff is so lovely and knowledgable and they made so many variations for my food restrictions. The room was quiet, luxurious and so comfortable. I will be back again and again. We missed a day due to our flight being late by a whole day and not having the third day of our stay will always haunt me because it was an unforgettable stay
