Kapama Buffalo Camp

Reminiscent of an East African safari camp of old, Buffalo Camp offers visitors a unique and intimate experience of the African bush. It is ideally suited to those who wish to discover the bush without compromising on comfort.

Ten luxury canvas tents, each accommodating two guests, are set on stilts amongst the canopies of ancient trees which line a seasonal buffalo. Each of the en suite tents are inter connected with wooden walkways, which run high above the Riverbed. Landscaped by mother nature herself, the entertainment facilities which include lounge, dining room and boma are surrounded by an indigenous garden.

A tranquil swimming pool lies tucked away and provides the perfect spot to while away idle moments between dawn and evening safaris, for the more adventurous join your ranger on a bush walk. An elephant back safari is also available to Buffalo Camp guests.
