Really good.

Very nice lodge. We really liked our accommodation overlooking the water with its hippos and birds. The safaris and activities are really good especially the time spent with elephants. A great time.

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!!

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge

Enjoyed the tranquility of the location, the buffet breakfast and the elephant experience. The tents were spotless, providing everything that was required. Close enough to Oudtshoorn to explore the town. We took advantage of the Winter special for South Africans as the usual rate has become unaffordable to most South Africans. Very pleasant stay on the edge of the dam watching hippo at play.

Unforgettable days.

We had a great time at the lodge; the tents were clean and beautifully located. In the mornings, one could observe the hippos from the terrace. The safaris were great, and the guides were super nice and shared a lot of stories. The food was super delicious, and the service was great. We would definitely vacation at the lodge again.
