The only negative about our stay at Buffelsdrift was that we only booked in for one night. We would have loved to stay another night. We took the luxuary tent, meal and activity package and it was well worth the money. We loved every minute there!

We only stayed one night at Buffelsdrift, but we had a fantastic time (despite regretting the fact that we hadn't booked an extra night or two). We took the overnight package, which was excellent value for money (2 activities, dinner, breakfast).We stayed in the waterfront luxury tents and had a spectacular view (of hippos!) from the bathtub. The tents themselves... More

We had a great 2 night stay here. The staff were friendly and for the most part very efficient. We enjoyed the game drives and also the elephant feeding.

The luxury tents are just that – more comfortable and well furnished that many starred hotel rooms and with a wonderful outside shower to boot!

The sight of the hippos swimming and snorting happily... More

We were at Buffelsdrift only for one night. That was the only mistake we have made. In a short space of time we experienced an unique African game drive adventure with a breath taking sunset, a superb dinner on the deck of the restaurant overlooking the water and hippo's and a peaceful night in a luxurious tent. The tented accommodation... More
