Beautiful lodge on a big lake. Nyala wandering around the tents, noisy birds at night. We could see hippos in the lake and deer the other side. Fun trip to see the meerkats - we had to be patient, but six of the eventually appeared. Nice to see Springbok and Gnus too

I recently stayed a night here, and while the accommodation was absolutely incredible, the wildlife experience left much to be desired. Our room was nothing short of breathtaking, beautifully designed, spacious, and set in a truly serene location. One of the highlights of our stay was waking up to the sight of hippos right outside in the morning. Sitting on the deck with a cup of tea, watching them in their natural habitat, was a moment I will never forget.
However, I was quite disappointed to find that the game experience felt more like a zoo than a true safari. The main animals are kept in separate enclosures, and you have to pay at least R745 to see each of them. They are not wild but rather fed, which completely changes the experience. If you are looking for a true safari, I would strongly recommend Addo instead, where the animals roam freely and you get to witness their real interactions in the wild.
That being said, if luxury accommodation and a peaceful setting are what you are after, this lodge delivers. The stay itself was wonderful, but for an actual wildlife experience, there are far better options.

The tents are very luxurious. Heated blankets and warm showers.
It feels like you're camping in luxury.
Food was also great at the restaurant although you have to walk back in the dark.

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 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.

The tent accommodation is novel and unique - but the noise definitely travels so expect early morning bird calls. The WiFi in our tent and in the resort was poor and the service at dinner was a bit chaotic. All that said, however, we enjoyed our few days here and there’s lots to see and do in the surrounding area.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge. The staff is amazing - the waiters, animal handlers, guides, they all made us feel welcome and special. The luxury tent we stayed in was spacious and the view was beautiful. The a-la-carte menu at the restaurant was great and the food was excellent. We've stayed at another game lodge on the Garden Route, which was nice, but Buffelsdrift really is a first class experience - High quality service, food, accomodation and perfect location. 5***** STARS experience!!

Buffelsdrift is great place especially for kids. We were disappointed that the water level in the pond was so low that they had removed some of the hippos. The dinners were great.The staff seemed to try hard and were very friendly.

Excellent place to stay.The rooms are made from high quality canvas. A kind of tent ,yes. But the wooden floors and quality furniture and fully equipped bathroom
dispose any idea of a tented " concentration camp"
It is a well maintained de luxe room.
The restaurant is beautiful and the food out of the top drawer.
Everything ,including fast and friendly staff leaves nothing to complain about.
We've been there in the middle of July. High winter. And boy,was it cold! Fortunately we had enough quality blankets.
Would highly recommend this place to anybody looking for top class accommodation.
