We stayed for my husband's birthday at Kapama Buffalo Camp for 2 nights, 10-12 May 2021. Wow! What a place! Value-for-money, cozy, small and intimate with professional, friendly and helpful staff. Everyone go out of their way to make you feel welcome, to give you your privacy if you need it and to make sure you see good game on the drives. Some place I will definitely recommend, and the only way to experience 5 * plus is to stay there.

Great lodge to visit when in South Africa. Excellent bush experience.

Our stay was 5 star. Everything about this camp is exceptional and the staff really push it to a higher level. We wanted for nothing during our stay and the stand out for us were the daily game drives with Jeffrey and Jack. Both these guys are real experts in the bush and we had such a great time on their drives, having good fun, learning a lot and getting the opportunity to see animals in their element.

Amazing experience. Wonderful place.We had the best time at Buffalo Camp on Kapama Private Game Reserve. It really was a trip of a lifetime - although I'm sure we'll be back! The service, food, friendliness of staff, setting, rooms, facilities and cleanliness were all 5* and cannot be flawed, but the game drives were by far the jewel in the crown. Being with Monika and Foster every day for a week was a real pleasure - they were a joy to spend time with and incredibly knowledgeable. We could ask them just about anything to do with nature and wildlife and they would know the answer. Great people. Great place. Utterly brilliant holiday.

I've had such an amazing time at Buffalo Camp with my boyfriend. It's been incredible to see all the animals in the wild, in their natural habitat. Special thank you to Jeff and Jack for being awesome super experienced guides and showing us everything that we wanted to see. We were very lucky to get you as our guides. And thank you to all the staff at Buffalo Camp for making our stay so special! We felt truly spoiled.

Amazing Amazing Amazing. Our guide Jeff and tracker Foster were so skilled in finding every animal there was to see. We were fortunate enough to see rare leopards, twice. Animals every safari and each time something very special. The staff, food , drinks accommodation were all ten stars. The whole experience is life changing.Highly recommended .

And when we are not on game drives we are eating...3 meals a day...when away from the cities with its resturants my expectations around food are not very high.Therefore, when I stumble on a place which delivers on the safari experience PLUS good food, I am beyond happy as all my needs are met for an amazing holiday. The food here gives yet another layer of pleasure....awaiting each meal eagerly ..subconsciously aware of the kilos you are piling on but shrugging the thought off for regret later.Since our arrival the kitchen consistly serves tasty, well plated and delicious food...cluedos to the chef who clearly knows what she is doing ...each plate visually beautiful and followed through with great taste. Breakfast dishes are diverse and wholesome; loved the crispy, buttery, and heavenly tasting croissants and lunch dishes are light and refreshing. I especially enjoy the evening meals as they take on the ambience of the night...soft dim lights in the dining room ( given my aging eyes I do have to squint to select the wine), the cool reflection on the pool and the beautiful sounds of the bush... complimenting the food. Some meals have lingered longer: the yummy pumpkin curry soup that was taken to another level by the coriander sauce, the caramelised onion soup with cream cheese, the salad: pear poached in pinotage, gorgonzola and caramelized onion; the creamy gnocchi dish with fresh crunchy broccoli. The off menu customized dishes for the pescatarian were always enjoyable! As the rates are all inclusive I was somewhat skeptical about what would be on offer, but this was unnecessary...the wine list is impressive; the method de classique and the gin are brands we regularly drink.The service is impeccable and one can easily attribute this to the fact that the Camp hosts 20 guests max...but this would be a lazy observation and deny the attentive, personal and yet unobtrusive service we received from arrival, on the game drives to the ever attentive waitrons. The service simply stated is STANDOUT!I will be leaving here feted and pampered.and as weighty as the African buffalo...no regrets!!!

A boutique type of resort, peaceful and quiet (only 20 guests). The luxurious tents" are very comfortable.Friendly and relaxed staff

We had the most amazing time at Kapama Buffalo Camp! From the beginning to the end and everything in between, our stay was nothing short of exceptional. The staff, food, location, rooms/lodging, and the game drives were all unbelievably incredible.This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will always remember and cherish. We can't wait to come back!
