A great resort! Top shelf staff, food, safari rides and location. We had a great vacation with no hesitation to refer anyone to spend time here. We spent 5 nights and had a great time. Geoffrey was our guide and went out of his way to allow us to see a leopard with a fresh kill in a tree as well as a cheetah will a impala kill

We spent 3 days here in November and had a fabulous time. 2 game drives a day -early morning and late afternoon and we saw many, many animals- many close sightings of 4 of the Big 5 and countless other animals. We had the great luck to have Big Al as our ranger and Benson as our tracker. They were wonderful. Al obviously had a real interest in the land and the animals and this made for great explanations and interesting detail on all the animals and birds that we saw! Benson seemed supernatural at finding animals. They fed us 5 times a day and the food was generally excellent, and the accomodation was lovely cottages/tents on stilts jutting out over the game preserve. We sat on our decks and watched animals wander below us. We went on to Mala Mala game preserve for 2 days after this and did not see a tenth of the animals, though we did see the elusive leopard there. Can't say enough about how pleased we were with Kapama Buffalo Camp. Claire was great as well for helping out with any needs whatsoever. Would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Kapama. From the pick up to drop off at Hoedspruit (across the street, literally) we were thrilled. These folks had thought of all the extras.

We went at a very cold snap, with temps at -1 in the morning. Layer up in July. The staff had hot water bottles waiting for us for each morning drive, and fleeces to keep the wind off. Our driver was knowledgeable and legitimately cared about us having a great experience. The viewing was very private and considerate of the animals, allowing only 1-2 vehicles when a good spot was made. No random tourists. We were right in the middle of a herd of elephants, we watched lions eating (no kill this time), and managed to find a leopard. We got the african buffalo and rhinos as well. We took a walking tour to learn more (beware- if your guide looks at lots of stool, then handles edible leaves and you eat it, you may have the runs the next day). Managed to come face to face with a rhino, but felt very safe with our capable guide. The meals were all well portioned and tasty. Had a nice supper on the last night out in the big fire pit area, with a huge spread. I thought I did a job of raiding the bar also, but my tab was surprisingly small!

The tents were warm and spacious. Again we found hot water bottles at night to warm our feet. Shower was hot. Views of the wildlife were great. I think there was a jacuzzi tub too! Couldn't believe the luxury in the heart of wilderness.

This was a fantastic 2 days. Should have spent one more to take some time to ride the elephants, but if you're strapped for time 2 was enough. Hope to go again some day.

- we were welcomed in very nice and personal way by Melanie and Lizel
- magnificent environment to have a drink and lunch
- the rooms are tents, but: huge, safe, clean, comfortable: watch my pics! I never stay / sleep in a tent but in one like these I'll sleep every day!
- lunch was nice, but not the rest of the hotel's standards
- afternoon safari: great guides ( Collen and Foster ) and the big 5!
- dinner: nice food ( but less than we expected from a place like this ) I'm convinced they can serve more than stew and chicken.
- good beds
- bathroom with shower and bath with view on the trees
- morning safariwas great with a stop for a cup of coffee and a biscuit ( African style: hard to chew )
- breakfast: perfect

My best 24 hours in SA! I'll be back and will recommend this to everybody who plans to visit SA!
Not cheap, but worth every cent!
