    Overview

    Set high in the treetops you will find Buffalo Camp situated in the Kapama Private Game Reserve. Each Tent is accessible by elevated wooden walkways which offer guests a sense of closeness with wildlife.

    The Buffalo Camp’s suites are ultra-luxurious Tents that consistently delight each guest. Featuring dark wood and leather finishes, while lights illuminating the walkways at night create a wonderfully romantic ambience. Each luxury Tent features en-suite bathrooms and air-conditioning, as well as additional blankets for cooler weather comfort. Tea and Lavazza coffee facilities come standard, along with a fully stocked minibar.

    After a day out in the wild, there’s nothing more welcome than a pampering treatment in the award-winning luxurious spa. But if you’re in need of something more energetic, the state-of-the-art fitness centre may be for you. For those who aren’t quite sure, there’s always the steam room or spa pool – and even a curio shop where you can find that perfect gift for a loved one back home.

    About Kapama Private Game Reserve

    Kapama Private Game Reserve is situated in the Limpopo Province and was proclaimed a private nature reserve in December 1993. Covering approximately 16 000 hectares of prime big game territory, Kapama Private Game Reserve has succeeded in combining the wilderness of the bush with the comforts of five-star hospitality and facilities.

    The name comes from Kapama, a Swazi king, whose tribe inhabited and hunted the northern Drakensberg mountain region around Mariepskop back in the 1880s. A game relocation programme was introduced and the reserve now supports a wide variety of game including elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, and large populations of giraffe, impala, blue wildebeest and kudu. Predators include lion, leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena and many smaller species.

      Great experience, booking was made absolutely special as it was my fiancé 40th Birthday, Tatenda made every effort to notify the lodge that we stayed at in Welgevonden, Tshwene Lodge, they made it the most memorable day. It was easy to book through Your Perfect Africa, highly recommended.

      Words almost escape me — Monwana Game Reserve exceeded every expectation we had. From the beautiful lodge and rooms, to the dining experience where you are free to select your own wine from the cellar to pair with your favourite dish, to the incredibly warm and friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel completely at home, every aspect of our stay was exceptional. And last, but certainly not least, our guides EJ and Nick were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure our game-drive experience was second to none. I can honestly say, on behalf of our family of four, that this experience has topped our Botswana trip — and that is saying a lot! Lastly, Sydney, thank you for your incredible assistance, communication and professionalism throughout. Your attention to detail made an already special trip even better. We will most certainly be booking through you again and will have no hesitation in recommending Your Perfect Africa to our friends and family.

      My wife and I decided on Friday to go to a private game lodge on Sunday. Nadia was still able to find something that fit our budget and location needs perfectly by Friday afternoon and confirm the booking to us by 5 pm the same day. I enquired with Bush Breaks as well but Nadia was able to get me a better lodge at an excellent price. Will definitely book with them again for future trips.

      Sydney was professional, efficient, and passionate from the moment she picked up my query. She made sure that all our logistics were dealt with and checked in with us many times before our departure. I highly recommend making use of Your Perfect Africa for any bush experiences, they are in their own league!

      A big thanks to Your Perfect Africa for making our experience on safari as seamless and perfect as possible. From the moment I made contact with them with my brief, they were professional, efficient and made on the mark recommendations for me to choose from. Once my choice was made, I could sit back and just wait for what was an incredible experience. Thank you YPA and Robyn in particular!
