Lalapa Safaris

Lalapa Safaris is a family-operated safari company based in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, owned and run by Ray Kemp. The Kemp family has been connected to the land for more than 150 years, bringing generations of local ranching and hunting knowledge to each trip. Lalapa specializes in fair-chase hunts across working ranches and low-fenced properties, where game roams naturally through varied bushveld, valleys, plains, and mountain terrain.

Hunting options include Cape Buffalo, plains game, spiral-horned antelope such as Kudu and Eland, specialist Tiny Ten species, and high-altitude hunts for Barbary Sheep, Vaal Rhebok, and Mountain Reedbuck. The company also arranges long-range hunting and offers access to multiple Cape Buffalo concessions, with experiences tailored to a hunter’s budget, ability, and preferred challenge.

For guests seeking a broader safari experience, Lalapa provides luxury lodge accommodation, photo safari extensions, and hosted travel for international visitors. Its malaria-free setting and family-run approach combine practical hospitality with an authentic bush experience, focused on respectful, ethical hunting and close engagement with the Eastern Cape landscape.
