Amazing experience. Staff were very hospitable. The game drives were also really cool. Our ranger, Daniel, went above and beyond to ensure that we saw all the animals on our list. Overall great experience.

Tudo perfeito. 11/10. Limpeza impecável, quarto limpo 2x por dia, comida o dia inteiro (basicamente de 2 em 2 horas) e de excelente qualidade, além de uma carta de vinhos extensa. O staff era realmente sensacional, todos muito solícitos, simpáticos e educados. Os game drives são muito bons, vimos todos os big 5 no primeiro dia e gostaríamos de destacar que os rangers Themba e Kenneth são os melhores, fomos maravilhosamente bem recebidos e guiados por eles durante a nossa viagem e não voltaríamos sem os dois.

We stayed 3 nights at the Buffalo Camp, an authentic lodge experience in a private, fenced in area of sole 20’000 hectares. We were picked up from the airport by Jeffrey, who was our guide / ranger for next 3 days. We were entirely satisfied from Pre-check in to check out, it’s hard to do better. The accommodation is luxury tents with all amenities including good showers and surprising water pressure. There is food being served all the time, best to skip some of the meals or you’ll gain a lot of weight little to no opportunity to burn calories. As you would expect, there are 2 game drives a day, Jeffrey and Mpho, out tracker, did a great job entertaining everyone amd were full of fascinating stories. We would go again, it is an amazing experience. I have been on game drives with more popping animal encounters but this really was very special in any other way.

Absolutely fantastic. The only down side (if it is a downside) is that there is simply too much great food to eat and little opportunity to work it off. 3 nights was enough and could safely get away with 2. Great break with no kids around.

Experiência incrível. Atendimento dos funcionários é excepcional e está entre os melhores que já vi. A comida é ótima, no sistema a lá carte. Bebidas (inclusive alcólicas, vinho, cerveja, etc) incluídas e a vontade. Os games foram sensacionais e conseguimos ver varias vezes os Big 5. A guia Mônica e o assistente Foster foram extremamentes atencionsos e fizeram de tudo para garantir o sucesso dos games. Recomendadíssimo!!! Já quero voltar.

It was a getaway for us, to view the Big 5 in Kruger. The accommodation was comfortable, and the best was the dinner at boma, where they served the best grilled meat. The game viewing was good, with our ranger providing us a good lot of information about the wildlife.

Foi a melhor escolha que eu poderia ter feito. O lodge é acolhedor, silencioso, pequeno, bonito... Recebe um número reduzido de hóspedes, o que torna a estadia singular. O tratamento é impecável, a tenda muito confortável, a comida maravilhosa. Os funcionários são verdadeiramente atenciosos. Minha única avaliação menos positiva é sobre o wifi que não funcionou muito bem na tenda e precisei fazer uso do meu 3G por diversas vezes.

10/10

Um verdadeiro oásis no Parque Krueger, O resort nos surpreendeu desde nossa chegada, onde fomos acolhidos por funcionários simpáticos e cordiais. O conforto do quarto é algo memorável, com frigobar free (e muito bem abastecido, diga-se de passagem), uma cama king, extremamente confortável, banheira, duas pias individuais e uma ótima ducha, tudo isso num ambiente bastante aconchegante! Os safáris, realizados por funcionários experientes e que amam o que fazem, são experiências inesquecíveis, pois vimos os Big Five e mais alguns, sempre com explicações sobre seu habitat, características e comportamentos. As refeições são de cozinha internacional, sendo que o jantar é servido à volta de uma fogueira, com todos os hóspedes reunidos... talvez eu mudaria apenas essa questão, porque numa das noites nos sentamos na direção do vento, e a fumaça da fogueira incomodou bastante nossos olhos. Mas resumindo, a estadia foi uma experiência fantástica que recomendo sem medo de errar.

A experiência no Kapama Búfalo Camp foi uma das melhores que já tive. Tudo perfeito. Os game drives, a equipe, a comida, o conforto e comodidades do hotel. Versão "Nutella" de safari...rs. Tudo na mão o tempo todo. Eles são muito cuidadosos e atenciosos com o turista. Conseguimos ver todos os Big 5!
