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.

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.
I honestly cannot point out anything! It was amazing!

All staff were excellent and always helped without being intrusive.
Could have some paths in the property to walk & get some exercise or possibly even view game from a few vantage points

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

Tents where great and clean. rangers where very
good and very friendly. Due that this a fenced camp you will
for sure see the big5.
Not really great atmosphere. Staff is very friendly
but not personal, we have visited many lodges
during our trip in SA but here we had not a warm welcome . Very commercial feelings. the
The food
was perfect but they overwhelmed you with food. We ahd
not really the experience of a wild camp due that animals
are quit calm due to fenced camp.

The best ever. The welcome by all staff was awesome. The food was delicious from their breakfast, lunch, high tea and supper. The chefs pay attention to detail. The tents are spotlessly clean, a walking distance from the reception and dining area, our rangers Jeffrey and Ntsako were awesome and knowledgeable. The views were amazing.
It was such a short stay

Possibly the best hospitality I have ever experienced in South Africa - this was better than many of the other 5 star hotels I have stayed at. The staff were alert, courteous and extremely hospitable. We were treated very well all through our stay. A big thank you for taking care of us to Elaine.
Fantastic game drives and the guides (Azaria/Milton) were good. We saw some nice game - lions, pangolin, giraffes etc.
The restaurant is beautiful and the food was very good all through. The rooms are very comfortable and entire decor is well thought through. Common areas are spacious, beautifully designed with lot of great decor and views.
This is a must have experience and highly recommended.
Everything was just Superb. Hope to go back to Kapama again.
Note: this review is for Kapama River Lodge as we were upgraded from Buffalo Camp to River lodge./
Nothing. Maybe add a few more vegetarian options for the dinner menu.
