3-Day Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp
Overview
Kwafubesi Tented Safari Camp is tucked away in the tree line on the edge of the Mvubu plain in the 12,000-hectare Mabula Private Game Reserve. Luxurious en-suite tents have soft furnishings in strong hues of rich African colour and are raised on platforms in order to maximise privacy. After the morning activities, laze around the pool or retreat to your tent and leave the stress of the outside world behind. The evening game drive with sundowners is followed by a home-cooked dinner in the lapa.

5.0/5Amazing support and essential for our trip!
Sandra was just amazing in helping us organize our Honeymoon. We knew vey little about South Africa and she helped us out in defining the WHOLE trip, not only the safari part of it. It was just perfect! She would reply any day, any time, just giving us the confidence and support we needed. Defnatly recommending to friends and other travellers.

Don’t hesitate to use.
Sandra from Traipsing Africa's Safaris was amazing. She provided a few options and differing price points and gave some helpful suggestions. Compared to the other quotes her was amazing. We got to go to a small luxury lodge for the same or less than others quoted for good but not as great options. Communication was perfect. The drivers to and from the lodge were such good fun. Sandra also provided some helpful info for the rest of our trip despite us organising this ourselves. Absolutely brilliant and would 100% use her again, Robin

Very smooth
Booked 3 days/2 nights at the Black Rhino Game lodge through Traipsing Africa and Sandra. Everything from request to payment and transport to and from JNB went very smoothly. Our stay at the Black Rhino was amazing, with wonderful game drives, nice accomodation, good service and good food. Would absolutely recommend!
