Buffelsdrift is an absolute gem. We loved every moment of our stay and wish we could have enjoyed it for a bit longer. The 5 star service - from reception, restaurant (food and service), turn down service and check out - was excellent. We will be making another reservation very soon! Thank you!!

Absolutely beautiful views from the water tents - view of the hippos was amazing

Excellent stay!

Such a beautiful place! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly!

I recently stayed a night here, and while the accommodation was absolutely incredible, the wildlife experience left much to be desired. Our room was nothing short of breathtaking, beautifully designed, spacious, and set in a truly serene location. One of the highlights of our stay was waking up to the sight of hippos right outside in the morning. Sitting on the deck with a cup of tea, watching them in their natural habitat, was a moment I will never forget. However, I was quite disappointed to find that the game experience felt more like a zoo than a true safari. The main animals are kept in separate enclosures, and you have to pay at least R745 to see each of them. They are not wild but rather fed, which completely changes the experience. If you are looking for a true safari, I would strongly recommend Addo instead, where the animals roam freely and you get to witness their real interactions in the wild. That being said, if luxury accommodation and a peaceful setting are what you are after, this lodge delivers. The stay itself was wonderful, but for an actual wildlife experience, there are far better options.

This lodge is set in a beautiful area, it is outstanding and so relaxing. This was our second visit.

Beautiful lodge on a big lake. Nyala wandering around the tents, noisy birds at night. We could see hippos in the lake and deer the other side. Fun trip to see the meerkats - we had to be patient, but six of the eventually appeared. Nice to see Springbok and Gnus too

The staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The safari experiences were amazing, especially the cheetahs.

It was a true luxury African experience The tented rooms were big and luxuries with wild wildlife all around. Friendly staff and great food

The tents are very luxurious. Heated blankets and warm showers. It feels like you're camping in luxury. Food was also great at the restaurant although you have to walk back in the dark.
