The location of Buffelsdrift is beautiful which made the safari experience even more wonderful. Staff were warm, welcoming and the tent was gorgeous. A truly magical stay.

Very recommended you won't regret
Great lodge! We booked the room that's near the water, had a great view straight at the hippos, very satisfied with that. The staff was amazing, had help with anything we asked right away, the dinner is the best! The tent is air-conditioned and has a ceiling-fan, all the "walls" have openings to the view of the dam, there's an outdoor shower and an indoor bath which are clean and nice. We were very happy with our stay, very recommended.

Very comfortable luxury tent experience
Very large private game reserve with most animals living wild. Tent was very comfortable with bedroom, bathroom, and private outdoor shower, and the tent overlooked the lagoon where the hippos kept cool during the day, while turtles, ducks, geese and other birds gathered. Great safari experiences.
