KAPAMA PRIVATE GAME RESERVE
Limpopo, Luxury Safari Lodge
Kapama Buffalo Camp is set in Kapama Private Game Reserve, a Big 5 reserve near Hoedspruit, only 48km west of Kruger National Park.
Kapama Buffalo Camp offers accommodation in luxury tented safari suites and is set in the popular Kapama Private Game Reserve, Limpopo Province.
The camp was built to reflect an East African Safari Camp of days gone by, and offers visitors a unique and intimate safari experience. Guests can look forward to experience an exceptional safari, from sightings of wildlife on safari game viewing drives, close encounters with elephants, sleeping out in the bushveld and many more.
Kapama is a Big Five reserve and seeing lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo is possible over a two-day safari.
ACCOMMODATION
Reminiscent of a traditional African safari camp from a bygone era, Buffalo Camp offers the ultimate luxurious tented accommodation experience. Built from natural stone and wood, the luxury game lodge has an olde worlde atmosphere while being completely contemporary. All comforts are catered for in the plush tented suites and throughout this carefully appointed luxury safari lodge, with décor accent colours of burnt red and gold.
Tents
The 10 spacious suites that comprise Buffalo Camp are set on stilted wooden decks built on an elevated riverbank. Wooden walkways connect the suites to each other and the main lodge area. Buffalo Camp is set among tall shady trees, with a seasonal river below. In the dry season, antelope use the river course as a natural pathway to search for grazing.
Buffalo Camp’s suites are ultra-luxurious tents that evoke the feeling of old Africa. Each en-suite tent can accommodate two people, in either a double or twin beds dressed in white cotton linen and African design throws. There’s air conditioning for summer and heated underblankets to keep the cold at bay on winter nights. Everything and more than you’d expect in a luxury safari lodge is here - including a well-stocked minibar, Nespresso coffee machine and lock-up safe. Wooden floors, leather and dark wood finishes give the tents a nostalgic air.
At night, oil lanterns illuminate the walkways to create subtle light and ambience. Just 20 guests can be accommodated at Buffalo Camp, and the focus is on personal attention, superb service and complete comfort.
