Ah.....Kapama....
There are many people who moan about Kapama, saying it is just a hotel in the bush, it is a glorified zoo, too many people etc.

Yes it is still fenced, which can been see as a positive from a game sighting perspective, and easier to monitor on an anti-poaching basis. However, the other side of the argument is with regards the game not being allowed full range of its natural habitat.

As for the reserve and experience - I can only speak of personal experience for a couple of days. I went there with negative expectations and came away with a much better view of the place.

The reserve was immaculately maintained, very seldom felt like it was crowded and safari guides and staff were all excellent.

Buffalo camp is a very comfortable camp and a great deck and pool area, with raised tents, which at times have the game walking right under the tents. It has a feel more of a lodge with tented rooms, rather than a traditional tented experience, if that makes any sense?

Johan Rebel may have more intimate knowledge.
