We had such a beautiful full board one evening stay. Thanks to Willie for an awesome game drive, to Anya for the dictating my two boys on some of the animals and of course to Penelope the pig, sooo adorable. The food was really good, accomodation was great. I can’t fault our little one night trip. Thank you to the staff who were extremely helpful and always had a smile on their faces. We will be back!

Incredible Easter weekend spent staying in Buffelsfontein bush camp. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Special mention to the reception Heather who was an absolute star! Enjoyed a few days relaxing at the pool. The full day game drive was filled with amazing sightings and experience. Highly recommend!

Great game reserve! We had an incredible time and loved our guide- Anya! Rooms we stayed in were great with a lovely view! Only reason I gave it 4 stars was due to the restaurant. They are incredibly slow. The first time we had to take out food to go as we needed to get on the game drive. They messed up our food orders a few times which was really frustrating. They can’t really speak much English and it was just a little disappointing due to the rest of the farm etc being GREAT. They didn’t have any milk alternatives nor did the restaurant have any gluten free options other than asking for a burger with no bun. (The chicken burgers are breaded as well). Other than that, we had a lovely time! And again, Anya is AMAZING! They only have 4 of the big five. They do not have elephants. They also only have one smaller black leopard and no other ones.
