Bush Safaris
“We call it Bush Safaris, as our guides are trained to not only educate our guests on our wide variety of animals, but also about our bird and plant species..”
– Andries van Schalkwyk | Managing Director
During our bush safaris ( game drives ), you can expect to experience true Karoo vegetation from our open game viewing vehicles. Our wide range of animals include Hippo, Giraffe, Eland, Zebra, Buffalo, Springbok and much more. The duration of our bush safaris is ± 2 hours. About midway through the safari, there is a refreshment break at one of our scenic lookout points. These offer 360° panoramic views of the area as well as the Swartberg Mountains.
Bush Safari Times:
*
1 October to 30 April
07:00 and 17:00 In house guests
09:00 and 15:00 Day Visitors
*
1 May to 30 September
09:00 and 15:00 In house guests and Day Visitors
This is definitely a highlight at the lodge. Guests can marvel at the Karoo sunset from our Spioenkop viewpoint while having a refreshing beverage. Guests will be lucky to spot some of our 22 different animal species on their way to the viewpoint.
The perfect way to end a glorious day.
Night Drives
At Buffelsdrift Game Lodge we offer night drives not only to our residents but to the public as well. A night drive is a safari that happens at night with the help of powerful spotlights to see the different animals. The two-hour night drive offers guest an opportunity to spot the elusive “Shy five” of Buffelsdrift Game Lodge – caracal, genet, porcupine, aardvark, and aardwolf. The open game drive safari vehicle offers to witness other wildlife species such as hippo’s grazing, Giraffes, Buffalo, Cape Mountain Zebra, Sable, Eland and much more. About midway through the night drive, there is a refreshment break where you can enjoy the renowned Klein Karoo night skies. The advantage of a night drive is that it provides access to nocturnal species that are rarely seen during the day, and there is a greater probability of seeing them hunt at night.
Maximum number of 10 guests per night drive
Blankets are provided
Hot beverages will be served on refreshment break
Night Drive Times:
* 1 October to 30 April – 20:00
* 1 May to 30 September – 19:00
Elephant Lapa
The Elephant Lapa ensures an even greater bushveld experience with facilities catering for traditional South African braai’s beneath the brilliant Klein Karoo night skyline. The Elephant Lapa is a thatched roof construction with smooth cement flooring and an open bar area. The rock finished exterior provides a rugged, earthy feel which blends effortlessly into the natural surroundings.
Lion Experience
Guests will be transported in a game vehicle to the 5ha lion enclosure where they will see our lions (Shumba, Tonga and Safia) close-up from the elevated view point. A trained game ranger will feed the lions while guests view them. It is advisable to have a camera at hand. Furthermore, the game ranger will fully inform the guests regarding important aspects of lions in general.
General Guidelines:
* These are wild Lions and will not be touched or handled by humans, including the rangers.
* Maximum of 20 guests per Lion experience. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.
* Duration of the Lion viewing experience may vary depending on their behaviour (± 1-2 hours)
Daily from 09H30 & 15h00.
Stargazing
The Klein Karoo is renowned for its clear, unpolluted night skies offering fantastic stargazing evenings. At Buffelsdrift we seize every opportunity to present the “High five” to our valued guests. Join us for a fascinating one-hour tour of the Southern Celestial Hemisphere every evening.
