The lodge and surroundings were beautiful and really welcoming. The place was pristinely clean and tidy and you could see the care and attention that went into maintaining the facilities. The food was delicious and plentiful (we were on a half board deal and had plenty of choice) and the staff were helpful and friendly. The pool area was lovely, overlooking the dam with the 3 hippos, and the tents were spacious, comfortable and really well presented. We were a family with a 6-year old and found that we could partake in almost all of the activities on offer. There was a decent range of animals on the reserve and we enjoyed the various “experiences” that were open to us. The free-roaming nyalas outside our tents and around the dining deck were a huge hit! The rangers were knowledgeable and friendly (all very young). Having been to “the real thing” in Kruger a few years ago, Buffelsdrift offered a budget-friendly option with guaranteed sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, various antelope breeds and more. It was heartening to learn that many of these animals were part of conservation projects.

The set up was exceptional- the design -and layout of the Reserve was well thought out. The care and enthusiasm the guides showed for the animals. The ‘tent’ accommodation was excellent - all mod cons incl aircon; and especially liked the outside shower. Access and availability of game drives. Food and service was good - egg cooker for breakfast and menu choices for dinner excellent. The mission to protect and save from extinction was good; and their efforts to create sustainability e.g. solar panels on car parking canopy etc. We enjoyed 3 game drives - cheetah experience; Bush Drive; Night Safari - all 3 were excellent; but the most memorable had to be the Cheetah Experience - walking the last 100 mtrs to be within 30 mtrs of the female cheetah and her 3 cubs.

We had a wonderful stay at Buffelsdrift. The lodge was amazing and the staff were all very kind and helpful. The tents were comfortable and well equipped with fantastic views . We thouroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck and hearing the wildlife, it was an amazing experience overall! The food was excellent and the restaurant staff were so friendly and provided great service. We enjoyed the various activities, especially an experience we did with Eddie, he is a great Ranger, he is very knowledgeable and made the trip so memorable for us. We will definitely come back soon!

Buffelsdrift is the most amazing place, a totally stunning setting, we had an amazing time! It offers the fantastic safari excursions, but also the pool and spa for a total chill out. The staff were so friendly and the rooms were beautiful, we also regularly had Nyala wandering around the veranda, so lovely! Just sitting in the restaurant we saw hippos, giraffes, elephants ... a wonderful experience from start to finish!!! Would definitely go back, the drive there was beautiful and we flew back to Cape Town from George airport, so the travel options were great too.

Joanne

The tents are very luxurious with a very comfy bed, airconditioning, bathroom and even a secluded outdoor shower. The terrain itself gives out on a lake where you can spot hippo's! In the park itself you have wild nyala's roaming around which all in all makes it a great experience for staying there. You can do a lot of activities and drives starting from the main camp as well.
