Buffelshoek Tented Camp

We stayed at Buffelshoek Camp for 2 nights in June 2022 and absolutely loved it. For our family with 2 boys it was the perfect place to observe the beautiful nature of South Africa. Not only have we seen the big 5 during our game drives but also many different animals in and around the camp. Since the camp has no fence around it the animals can walk into the camp as they wish. Even though wild animals were around us all the time we never felt unsafe or at risk. The team at Buffelshoek took great care of us and walked us to our cabins when needed to ensure protection from the wildlife, especially for the kids. Besides being a great place for wildlife observation Buffelshoek also offered fantastic food and great hospitality. If I ever return to Africa I will for sure visit again!

The owners of the concession should not be in the hospitality industry. Not particularly friendly or welcoming. The tents are a bit run down. Food was adequate but not good. Our guide was great and the game viewing was excellent.

Stayed twice within a two month period because owners continue to exceed expectations. Superb game guides….excellent food…..perfect location….well appointed luxury tents…..value for money. Property - five luxury tents - is located in what is one of South Africa’s best reserves. Book now and enjoy genuine hospitality and exceptional wildlife.

Man sollte das Leben in der Natur schon etwas mögen, denn hier gibt es keine Zäune um das Camp und nachts allein zum Haupthaus gehen sollte überlegt sein, man ist eben mitten im Busch. Die Zeltunterkünfte sind einfach aber sauber und man muß auf einigen Komfort verzichten, aber ebend sehr spannend wen der Löwe vor der Tür brüllt. Verpflegung und Getränke immer gut die Gastgeber sehr nett. Man lernt interessante Leute kennen. Die Safaris einfach Spitze die Big Five an einem Tag, das ist hier drin.

Een tented camp zonder luxes maar met alles erop en eraan en zeer mooi gelegen. Zeer hulpvaardie mensen. Lekker eten. Maar het belangrijkste zijn de game drives in open jeep. Er rijden een 6-tal jeeps in dit park die met radiocoantact met elkaar in verbinding staan. De gidsen laten je hierdoor werkelijk alles zienwat er te zien is. Op 1,5 dag zagen we de big five en een cheetah met een kleintje. Fantstische belevenis. Goed geprijsd

Een klein kamp, off grid, no nonsens met hele vriendelijke mensen! we hebben hier afgelopen september een fantastisch verblijf gehad, idem met de gamedrives. Lekker eten, leuke huisjes. Het kamp ligt open in de natuur, dus geen hekkens. Dit houd in dat je 's avonds naar je huisje gebracht wordt. Je weet maar nooit wat er in de buurt rondloopt.

Sensacional ficar hospedado bem no meio da reserva dos animais selvagens, em um ambiente bem rústico. Conseguimos ver os elefantes passando a poucos metros dos Chalés. No dia que estávamos fazendo um churrasco a noite, uma Hiena decidiu ir fazer uma visita também (assim que jogamos a lanterna em sua direção, ela já se afastou imediatamente)!! E por falar em churrasco: a comida foi sensacional, desde o café da manhã até o jantar. As bebidas são liberadas o tempo todo e disponíveis na geladeira (Cervejas, Vinho, Tequila, Amarula, Sucos, Água Tônica, Refrigerantes e Água Mineral). Os donos do local são uma simpatia também. O Guia foi muito simpático e prestativo, e os "Games" foram todos Perfeitos. Conseguimos ver todos os Big Five e mais alguns outros belos animais!!! Somente na hora do banho (infelizmente eu preciso colocar essa ressalva) não era tão perfeito, já que era impossível encontrar uma temperatura bem equilibrada (aquecimento a gás). Mas... no meio de tanta adrenalina e satisfação de ter passado um bom dia, esse detalhe não foi suficiente para tirar uma estrela do Hotel! P.S: Uma dica de ouro: Não aluguem carros baixos, optem por SUV ou Caminhonetes (fomos de Corolla e quase não conseguimos passar por todos os grandes quebra-molas de terra, dentro da reserva)!!
