Buffelsdrift Game Lodge

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge offers an unforgettable escape with luxury free-standing tents that provide captivating views of the Klein Karoo's Swartberg Mountains and a bustling wildlife watering hole.

Each air-conditioned, luxury tent features a private outdoor shower, an en-suite bathroom, and a minibar. For an enhanced experience, some tents boast a wooden deck positioned right at the water’s edge.

Guests can enjoy a variety of activities, including game drives, night drives, meerkat safaris, elephant excursions, a lion feeding experience, and a free-roaming cheetah experience. An outdoor pool overlooks the watering hole, where rhinos, giraffes, and hippos can often be observed. The lodge is a malaria-free game reserve, offering complimentary WiFi in public areas, and is conveniently located near an ostrich farm and the Cango Caves, both within a 10-minute drive.

The lodge's à la carte restaurant, situated waterside, is renowned for its Karoo cuisine prepared with fresh, local produce and an award-winning wine selection. Adjacent to the restaurant, a shaded deck provides spectacular views of the Swartberg mountains and is an ideal spot for observing hippos, elephants, other wildlife, and various bird species that frequent the waterhole. Room service and a shuttle service are available upon request.
