Buffalo Hills Game Reserve & Lodges

 
 

Description

Buffalo Hills Game Reserve & Lodges is a malaria-free game reserve located 15 km from Plettenberg Bay and 35 km from Knysna. You will find giraffe, leopard, wildebeest, kudu, bontebok, eland, impala, bushbuck and over 150 identified bird species. Scheduled safari game walks and 4x4 safari drives include viewing of game, primary indigenous forests and unique fynbos with a tour and tasting at our famous Nyati Distillery.

We offer luxury en-suite accommodation with snacks and drinks in the boma, around the fire and under the stars. This is followed by a traditional dinner with your hosts in our unique Buffalo Restaurant. Rates are inclusive of dinner, bed and breakfast, an afternoon game drive, a morning game walk and a distillery tour.

Frogging and astronomy are optional extras, but are very weather dependent. New to Buffalo Hills are guided and self-guided mountain biking and walking trails with both family trails and extreme trails. We also offer trail running and the Ox-wagon trail which is a three night, fully portaged hiking or mountain biking trail with all meals inclusive, as well as one night in our Elephant Gorge Lodge with a nocturnal hike after dinner. The buffalo experience you will remember as a highlight of your holiday and by doing so, you will realize our dream to conserve our unique valley and its heritage.

The lodge was great and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Tony and Maria were great and were very helpful in helping us to plan our onwards trip. Definitley one to return too and recommend to friends.

It was absolutely lovely. Thank you.
Spa tents are superb
Colin Smith, United Kingdom
30 November 2007
One cannot fail to be impressed with this establishment. The luxury spa tents are superb - but for sure you need to stay more than one night to have the time to use them (which we sadly did not). It's great having the feeling of being in the bush, being so close to free roaming animals with nothing but an electric fence between you and them. And whatever you do, sample plenty of the Nyati JJJ.
Best food !

Good accommodation, both in tents and at lodge especially. Best food we had from at a Safari Lodge whilst in South Africa, especially the bri with Paul at the end of the walk. Jessica especially like the lunches, whilst I could eat Maria’s bread all day long. The fridge in the tent was a good idea, but it needed some drinks in, and cost of drinks would have been nice to know in advance.
