• "Tea bags"

  31 March 2023

  "We had a wonderful time and will certainly be back. Just one thing to point out, the tea bags in tent 27 tasted of chemicals which we think came from the very pretty silver bowl they were stored in which smelt of polish , everything else was exceptionally good and most enjoyable thank you."

• "The rented accommodation"

  19 April 2021

  "1. The food was distinctly mediocre;2. The camp should have deferred our game drive until the evening: with the heat, the guide KNEW that we would see hardly any game;3. I think the elephant experience and game drive were over- priced"

• "Perfect Honeymoon"

  18 February 2014

  "We stayed at Buffeldrift during our honeymoon and it was perfect. To sleep in the beautiful tents and hear the hippos by night is amazing. We've done horse riding and elephant feeding and both was a wonderful experience. We would have done the elephant riding, but we've been to late with our booking. After all we've enjoined every minute atBuffelsdrift."

The elephant feeding experience is a must for everyone visiting Buffelsdrift. The 3 teenage elephants love interacting with guests and children will love it. Unfortunately we only spent 1 night and would suggest a minimum of 2 nights to take advantage of all they offer. We have wonderful pictures to treasure and hope to one day return for a longer stay."

  "Buffelsdrift was the 'icing on the cake' to our holiday in South Africa, our only disappointment was having to leave. The staff were so friendly and knowledgable, great accommodation and great setting, next time we'll stay longer."

• "Glorious"

  21 November 2006

  "We had a glorious time at the game lodge thank you.we must admit to being surprised at how noisey some of our neighbours were during the night, but it reinforced the fact that we were in the bush, and seeing the pitch black sky studded with stars as we ambled back to our tent after an excellent dinner was magical. Thank you for a special few days, and please pass on our thanks (and best wishes) to your colleagues. Including the hippos."
