Buffelsdrift Game Lodge

We had an amazing stay! The luxury tent, safari drive, elephant experience, staff and beautiful surroundings were unforgettable.

Our first visit to Buffelsdrift blew us away—we honestly couldn't have imagined it would be this amazing! From booking to checking out, every single moment was awesome. A huge thank you to Tiaan for handling our booking so smoothly and providing such brilliant service right from the start. Percy, you are hands down the best ranger ever! Your passion for what you do shines through in everything, and you have such a wonderful gift for connecting with people. You don't just share incredible knowledge; you make the whole experience truly special. Amanda, thank you so much for recommending the lion experience—it was an absolute highlight for us! To the restaurant staff, thank you for your warm, friendly service. You went out of your way to make my son's trip extra special by letting him feed the fish, which he loved. The entire place is kept so clean and beautiful, both inside and out. You can really see how wonderfully the animals are looked after, and we left with such happy, warm hearts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend with you! While we were with you we went on a night drive as well as an afternoon game drive. Our guide, for both drives, was Natasha. She is an asset to your establishment, She has an incredible knowledge on a wide range of fauna and flora. She was always cheerful, helpful and patient. We took special note of the manager of the night shift in the restaurant, Ashwan. He worked together very well with his team of waiters. Whilst we were there, we had two waitresses, Janay and Phumi, who we would also like to commend for their exemplary service. Over all we found our accommodation to be very comfortable with everything we could need or want at our disposal. We thank you for a lovely, relaxing and adventure filled weekend!
