Buffelsdrift Game Lodge, Oudtshoorn, Western Cape



Buffelsdrift is a beautiful game farm in the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains. Unspoiled bushveld, lush vegetation and a dam provides a haven for 20 game species and more than 217 bird species.
The Lodge is situated just outside Oudtshoorn, in the heart of ostrich country, and not far from the Swartberg Nature Reserve. This beautiful Nature Reserve became part of the sixth South-African World Heritage Site offering a wealth of endemic plant species.

The Lodge offers 9 superior tents on the water’s edge and 16 luxury tents each one with its own en-suite bathroom and private outdoor shower, air-conditioning, mini-bar, digital safe, tea/coffee facilities and a game viewing deck. The swimming pool is situated in between the tents.

Situated next to reception is a large round stone fireplace in the middle, overlooking the dam with the Swartberg Mountain Range in the distance.

There is a quaint wooden chapel situated on the edge of a natural water hole with a wide wooden deck as entrance to the intimate little chapel. 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.

There is an À La Carte and Buffet Restaurant specialising in local cuisine, fully air-conditioned for those typical hot days of the Klein Karoo.
