Overview
About Kapama Buffalo Camp
Kapama Buffalo Camp is an intimate, adults-only luxury tented camp set high in the treetops of Kapama Private Game Reserve, near Greater Kruger. Ten elevated tented suites are connected by raised wooden walkways through a riverine canopy, each featuring floor-to-ceiling glass panels, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and rich safari-era finishes. Guests enjoy guided game drives, lantern-lit dinners in an open-air boma, an elevated rim-flow pool, and access to the award-winning Kapama Karula Wellness Centre via a complimentary shuttle.
“Adults-only treetop camp suits couples; elevated tented suites and award-winning wellness centre emphasize romance and seclusion.”
