The stay

A waterhole safari feel in the Klein Karoo

Buffelsdrift places 34 luxury tents around a large waterhole beneath the Swartberg, making it a distinctive Oudtshoorn alternative to a town hotel.

How Buffelsdrift fits a Garden Route trip

It adds a wildlife stay to a Garden Route or Klein Karoo itinerary without a flight north, and the Family Tents sleep up to five. The lodge is on the road to the Cango Caves and about an hour from George Airport.
