BUFFELSDRIFT GAME LODGE

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge is your safari gateway to the untamed beauty of the Klein Karoo in a malaria-free environment.
Nestled just 6.5 kilometers outside of Oudtshoorn, the Ostrich capital of the world, Buffelsdrift Game Lodge offers a unique and understated elegance in luxury tented accommodation, making it the perfect escape for those seeking a true African experience.

With the majestic Swartberg Mountains as a backdrop and a waterhole at your doorstep, you’ll be immersed in the untamed beauty of South Africa.

The lodge features a range of luxurious tented accommodations, including Waterhole tents with private decks for wildlife viewing and Family tents for group getaways.

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge provides a tranquil atmosphere, complete with a private swimming pool for relaxation under the Karoo sun.
But the real magic lies in its wildlife experiences.

From thrilling Bush Safaris to Night Drives and Meerkat Safaris, you can get up close to Africa’s incredible creatures.

Observe elephants, witness the power of lions, and marvel at free-roaming cheetahs.

For those seeking a romantic setting, a charming wedding chapel overlooking a natural waterhole awaits.

Conveniently located just a 5-hour drive from Cape Town and an hour from George Airport, Buffelsdrift Game Lodge is the perfect destination for adventure, relaxation, or a romantic escape in the heart of the Klein Karoo.

Cuisine at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge:

Specializing in authentic Karoo cuisine, the Buffelsdrift Restaurant offers guests a delicious a la carte menu of homemade foods and local fresh produce.

As an accompaniment, our wine selection consists of some of the best award-winning wines on Route 62, South Africa’s longest wine route.

Our restaurant also expands to the wooden deck, overlooking our 5-ha waterhole filled with big fish, turtles, and hippos.  

If you are lucky, you might even spot the elephants and other games on the opposite bank.

Health & Wellness at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge:

The Spa at Buffelsdrift has 3 permanent therapists of which 2 at a time are onsite that are professionally trained to provide the feeling one gets of being in nature with a relaxing and revitalizing treatment.

Choose your preferred massage, treatment, or facial and be amazed by the view over the waterhole, the sounds of wildlife, and the soft music in the background.

Accommodation at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge:

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge offers 3 different luxury tented options to choose from. 

Luxury Family Tents.

Each of the Luxury Family tents has a spacious main bedroom and a second bedroom with an interleading, shared en-suite bathroom.

These units can accommodate a family of up to 5 people.

The family tents provide an elevated view of the surroundings and the Swartberg Mountains and are within walking distance of the 5-hectare waterhole.

True Karoo fynbos and bushveld surround these tents, creating an authentic bushveld experience. You may even be able to see wildlife around your tent, so keep your eyes peeled. 

Luxury Horizon View Tents.

These luxury tents are set only a few meters away from the waterhole and provide an elevated view of the surroundings.

They also have great views over the whole lodge area and are surrounded by true Karoo fynbos. 

Luxury Waterhole Tents.

Experience contemporary “bushveld” comfort in one of our Luxury Waterhole tents.

These tents are perfect for those who enjoy “living on the edge”, as they each feature a private sundeck, right at the edge of our main waterhole, ideal for you to soak up the sun, relax and enjoy the splendour that unfolds.

Enjoy sundowners on the deck whilst viewing our free-roaming animals in the water and surrounding banks.

Due to the current drought in the Oudtshoorn region, the Waterhole is not 100% full now.

Weddings at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge:

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge is unique for its setting, breathtaking views of the Swartberg Mountain, vast Klein Karoo plains, and blue skies as a natural backdrop.

A photographer’s dream to capture the special moments for the bride and groom to treasure!

The charming Karoo Wedding Chapel is situated on the edge of a natural water hole with a wide wooden deck as the entrance to the intimate little chapel.

The wedding venue in Oudtshoorn is ideal for romantic country weddings and a dream comes true for those who prefer natural surroundings and tranquillity.  

The deck is an extension to the restaurant, and this creates a beautiful space for wedding guests to take their seats and witness the couple exchanging their wedding vows.

Ice-cold sundowners served on the lookout deck next to the open-air bar mark the end of a perfect day with the sun setting over the mountains.

Each wedding is unique, and we make each one an unforgettable experience for both you and your guests.
