Amazing experince
Stayed one day at river lodge and last 2 days at southern camp. Our safari driver/guide at southern camp Kenneth was exceptional. We saw the big five and got to also see pride of lions feeding on a fresh Giraffe kill. We missed the live action by few minutes. Customer and food service was also great. MoAfrika tour team provided amazing service and communication throughout the process. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Hi 536vivekg, We are thrilled to hear you had such a memorable safari with us, and grateful for your kind words. Hearing that you enjoyed our guiding and the smooth transfers is exactly what we hope for. It would be an absolute pleasure to host you again on your next safari with us. Warm regards, The MoAfrica Team

Best of best!
Our experience with this company was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. Ruben from Moafrika was outstanding – highly responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and always ready with the information we needed. He managed all our bookings perfectly and continuously followed up, even during our trip, to make sure everything was going smoothly. He even made special arrangements for us and we are truly grateful for that. About Southern Camp Safari, their hospitality is top notch. The games drives were amazing! The guide will make sure your trip is worthwhile. Our guide Richard went above and beyond for every drive. The hospitality out of the game drive was also top notch! Richard and everyone from Kapama would make sure we’re being taken care of, our safety and everything. Richard is very experienced and knowledgeable. All big 5s spotted. Though it wasn’t easy for the leopards & lions! He tracked them down. Simply amazing! On top of everything, the food and villas from Southern Camp are the best! Happy tummy happy life. Highly recommended!

This is hands down the best safari lodge that I have ever seen.
This was truly an exceptional stay at Kapama, as the people and all of the facilities were absolutely incredible. The game drives were amazing as we got a wide range of sightings of animals and we were able to see the big 5. We will never forget our stay here and this was truly a first class experience from both Kapama and MoAfrika.

Great facility with luxurious rooms.
The service we received from MoAfrika were excellent and the accommodations and arrangements made for us was exactly what we wanted. I had a great time at the lodge and received warm hospitality and professionalism from the staff. The tour guides were amazing and incredibly skilled at their job. They were able to find the big 5 so easily.

Amazing experience at out first safari!
Recently we returned from a safari and would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mo Africa for the excellent organization of our trip to the Kapama Private Game Reserve. It was truly an impressive experience! From the very beginning, everything was top-notch. Mo Africa approached their work professionally and took all our wishes into account. We were offered the best room with a private pool, where antelopes sometimes came and we could watch them right from our room. It was amazing and even amusing. We were particularly pleased that the staff made every effort to ensure everything was at the highest level. The rangers at Kapama Private Game Reserve are true experts and they shared many amazing facts about the animals inhabiting the area. We had a 3-day, 2-night tour, during which we managed to see the Big Five and other wild animals and birds. It was a real thrill to see them all in person and observe how wild animals live in their natural habitat. A safari is not scary at all, especially when you are with true professionals! The hotel accommodation was thought out to the smallest detail. We liked everything so much that we asked Mo Africa to extend our safari for another day. The hotel had amazingly delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. There is also a spa complex and a gym on the premises. During our free time from the safari, we could go for a massage or a workout. To everyone who has doubts, I sincerely recommend experiencing this yourself and immersing yourself in the world of wildlife with comfort. You will enjoy exciting safaris, the beauty of the African savannah, and professionals who will make your vacation unforgettable. Thank you very much!

3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Johannesburg.
How does 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari compare to similar tours in Johannesburg?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Johannesburg, with an Outty Ranking of 53. At $2,117 it sits above the typical similar option ($774), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 72-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.
Is 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $2,117, above the $774 typical for similar experiences in Johannesburg.
How much does 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $2,117 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Johannesburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Johannesburg is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Johannesburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Johannesburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Johannesburg and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Johannesburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Johannesburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Johannesburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto and Johannesburg Exclusive Full Day Guided Tour, Ultimate Johannesburg Soweto Experience with Apartheid Museum, Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Johannesburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Johannesburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari?
+
Included: Game drives as per itinerary; Kapama conservation levy; Local beverages; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: All purchases of a personal nature; and Meals not specified in the itinerary. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 7 listed pickup locations in and around Johannesburg. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Day Kapama Southern Camp Safari?
+
