3-Day Kapama Buffalo Camp Safari

The team at MoAfrika was very quick to respond to my inquiry and ensured I stayed at the resort that best fit my needs. They handled everything seamlessly!! The resort was beautiful and we saw the big 5. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and I highly recommend.

MoAfrika Tours was fantastic from first to last. They gave us several packages to choose from, so we were able to easily pick the one that fit out goals and budget. We chose Kapama Buffalo Camp. From the first, Ruben at MoAfrika was responsive and friendly, and answered all my many questions quickly. He checked in all through the trip to make sure everything was going well. Kapama Buffalo Camp was perfect for us. All inclusive but not bougie, it really fit the bill. The staff was attentive and cheerful, the tent house was gorgeous and incredibly comfortable, and the food was delicious! And the safari! Our guide Themba and our tracker Kenneth made a great team, and we saw everything, including leopards, lions, baby elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, zebras, kudu, you name it. Themba's deep knowledge of the country and animals was informative and moving, and really connected us to the wonders around us. We went on a fascinating and informative bush walk with another of the guides, Hancho. On our last day we also went to Elephant Moments, an orphanage for rescued elephants inside Kapama, where you can feed, touch and interact with these magnificent creatures. The trip of a lifetime.

I want to break down my review in 3 sections: 1) Trip Planning with Mo-Afrika Tours, 2) Kapama Buffalo Camp Experience, 3) Kapama Game Reserve Experience 1) Trip Planning with Mo-Afrika Tours: EASY and PERFECT! We worked with Rishen. From the moment. When I come back to plan my next trip I will request to work with him and this tour company. From the moment I got in touch with MoAfrika Tours Rishen made everything so easy. He asked me what experience I wanted, whom I would be traveling with and their needs, my budget, and timeframe. From there he sent me different options but also offered his impeccable insight which was invaluable. I trust his expertise. Everything he said was spot on and it was exactly what I wanted. The coordination Rishen did to make our trip possible was seamless. I tend to get stressed out about traveling in places I have never been, and he made sure I knew every detail, and took care of every detail from literally the moment I left from my house in cape town. Finally, Rishen is so patient, nice, and easy to talk to. I felt like any concerns, questions or issues I had I was able to voice, and he found suggestions and very reassuring. 2) Kapama Buffalo Camp Experience: WONDROUS! For my first time safari experience I wanted to stay at a place that had attentive staff, accommodating to my families needs (for reference: some of us have severe allergies and dietary restrictions, elderly with disability), warm and cozy vibe. This is exactly what Kapama Buffalo Camp was.From the moment we were picked up at the airport, Hancho (our guide) picked us up and was welcoming and easy to talk to. Langu was our coordinator in the camp and she was so wam and sweet. She was so organized, had our itinerary down to the last detail outlined for us. The staff was so prompt, attentive, and always available to help at any given time. The rooms were stellar. They rival any 5-star luxury hotel. So clean, they thought of everything. The food was excellent. Hancho and Thambo were our guides and they were so fun to go on the game drives. They were so knowledgeable and patient. 3) Kapama Game Reserve: PLENTIFUL and AMAZING! It is separate from Kruger National Park. But that does not mean anything in terms of seeing wildlife. Rishen and honcho told me there would be so many animals and they were so right! We saw a myriad of birds, Big Five (over and over again multiple times, multiple days), Giraffes, Hyenas, Different species of Antelope, Warthogs, Small Cats, and Monkeys. There was such an abundance. The thing that was astonishing to me was that we were able to see all of this in our 3D/2N trip. OVERALL: I was very happy with my experience with MoAfrika Tours, Kapama Buffalo Camp, and going to Kapama Game Reserve. I definitely will be coming back and doing everything the same. The only thing I would change is I would love to stay extra nights because I loved it so much. There is nothing I would otherwise change. I was so so so happy and appreciative with everything. Thank you guys so much (Rishen, Lungu, Hancho, Thambo, Pete, Mpho, Mark, Carlos)!
