This luxury tented camp is set among tall shady trees with a seasonal river below, and combines old world charm with contemporary design. The lodge's tented suites are set on stilted wooden decks, built on an elevated riverbank. Each tents has wooden floors, leather and dark wood finishes and each is equipped with a mini-bar, a Nespresso coffee machine and a lock-up safe. Meals are à la carte, and breakfast and lunch are served under a canopy of thatch, while dinner is usually enjoyed in the traditional outdoor boma around an open fire. Kapama Buffalo Camp arranges game drives in open safari vehicles, accompanied by experienced rangers. For relaxation, guests can unwind in the pool.

Pros +

  • Pretty much everything, the tent is so spacious and comfortable and truly makes you feel youre out there in the wild, all the staff was so friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and the tour definitely the best part of it all, thanks to Thabo and Daniel for making our experience absolutely amazing, we wont forget this easily.
  • Loved the adult only concept. Staff were amazing and the limited numbers on viewers were great! The food was fantastic.
  • Kapama Buffalo camp exceeded all expectations. Its a small and more interment accommodation compared to their other camps on site. We stayed 3 nights, and managed to see the Big 5 and the Ugly 5 within our stay. Each game drive had no more than 6 in the vehicle which meant everyone had a side seat with a perfect view. While its obviously not guaranteed I found the team did everything possible to see all animals. Saying this, I do think we had the best guide - Ben. The wake up calls at 5am were made manageable when you have an amazing guide like Ben. And, an all inclusive stay made everything so easy - great food, awesome local wines.

Cons -

  • I would suggest a pizza night on the menu lol but thats me just being fussy
  • The property needs attention and maintenance. 5star rating but pool loungers are in bad condition with cushions thorn and dirty really old. Very un hygienic. Towels in rooms are similar old and over used!
  • My only feedback would be stop making coffee from the machine at the bar, the in-room coffee-pod machine makes it so much better lol the team is obviously not baristas.
