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!

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 ????

We are privileged to have stayed in some of the top game lodges in Africa, a perk of my wife working in that industry. I have to say I was impressed by Buffelsdrift. It had the feel of the top end lodges, but without the hefty price tag. For cash-strapped South Africans, most of who can't afford $1000 per person per night at the exclusive lodges, Buffelsdrift offers an affordable alternative. Food, hospitality, service, accommodation were all top-notch. Although this is not a 'Big 5' lodge, we saw quite a few animals on our drives and were more than happy with the experience. A great place to go if you have never been on a safari before and want to get a taste of what it's about. Well done Buffelsdrift, we will be back.

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 ❤️ ????

We had a great visit here and stayed in the luxury tents at the dam. In the morning we saw the elephants taking a bath. The safari drive was amazing. In the morning we did the elephant feeding, which was an amazing experience.

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.
