Buffelsdrift Game Lodge

My husband and I came here on honeymoon for 2 nights and we had the most amazing experience! From start to finish- everything was spectacular! Truly the best place we have stayed at. The facilities are incredible- our tent was overlooking a beautiful dam with hippo's in the water and elephants in the distance. The food was delicious and there was a wide variety of great options. Top service and incredible employees- everyone went the extra mile. We will truly remember this lodge forever! Thank you for making our honeymoon so special. We will definitely be back!

This was a great find on a day trip. We did not stay overnight but were made very welcome. If we had known about it would probably have booked in advance. We were lucky enough to have the elephant experience which was fantastic. Only us and one other couple so we had plenty of time for close up experience feeding and petting the elephants. It was also educational in a relaxed way. The Hotel restaurant was right on a lagoon/ water hole and was a spectacular setting for a great lunch. The rooms were private lodges surrounding the lagoon but discreetly tucked away. The whole estate was of an excellent standard. With more time we would have liked to do the game drive and other experiences.

We didn't stay at the game lodge. We just went to do have the elephant experience and what an amazing experience. Something to do at least once if you can. It was very informative and just wow. The guides were great and we loved every moment of the experience. I think it's great that you can go and do these kind of experiences without having to stay at the game lodge which could be a bit much for the locals.

Excellent service upon our arrival. Picked up by a driver with a gold card who took us to the reception. Did all the formalities and took us to our room with the gold card. Back & neck massages for some muscle and spiritual healing. The rooms view was excellent with wildlife on our doorstep. Great food and friendly service. Rooms: Clean with room service Nearby activities: Cango caves Safety: Extremely safe with trained personnel Walkability: The area is walk friendly Food & drinks: Everything tastes fresh Noteworthy details: Take as much pictures as possible and enjoy the time

Amazing stay at Buffelsdrift - beautiful glamping experience with luxury tents with wooden finishes, a bath tub and outdoor shower, air con and great views of a dam hosting hippos, terrapin fresh water turtles and lots of ducks. You will find buck grazing in the gardens. Staff are friendly and efficient. We went on a 2 hour game drive where we saw giraffe, various buck, rhino, buffalo, zebra and jackals. They also have lions and elephants in separate enclosures and cheetahs have their own 1500 hectares. The food in the restaurant is delicious. I recommend.

We had lunch there and the view and game made it such a good stop. The Burgers were great tasting although smaller than the last time we were there. Due to a function our service was a bit slow but definitively worth another visit.Service: 4/5

We spent 2 nights at the lodge. Thank you to ALL staff who made our stay most enjoyable. All the activities will leave lasting memories. The tents were spacious and very comfortable. The meals were delicious and generously proportioned . We will definitely be back Rooms: 5/5

Loved my stay at Buffelsdrift. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Didn't get to see much on my game drive as it was raining and visibility was low, but such is life when game viewing. If you have an aversion to creepy crawlies the accommodation might freak you out but you probably should be booking into tented accommodation in the first place. The elephant experience was incredible.

Thanks Buffelsdrift for the warm welcome. We had a fantastic experience the wildlife safari drive was amazing. We also got to feed the lions and elephant's and all we can say is wow wee. One of the best experiences ever Rooms: 5/5

We stayed at Buffelsdrift for one night on our garden route trip. We utilised one of the online specials which included the elephant experience. Our tent was beautifully furnished with a bath for 2 and an outdoor shower, the room was heated when we returned from dinner. We enjoyed the whole experience especially the elephant encounter. The game drive I felt was a bit lacking as there wasn’t much game to view, there wasn’t much mention of the flora either the ranger did not seem very experienced. Dinner and breakfast were good. I forgot my charger and reception organised for it to be couriered to me. We enjoyed our stop over at Buffelsdrift and would recommend it.
