Accommodation at Buffalo Hills means
more than just a bed. Of course all our en-suite rooms and safari tents are
luxuriously appointed - but it’s the ADDED EXTRAS that make the difference.
Because all our over-night guests enjoy the following at no extra cost:
- Dinner, bed & breakfast
(with dinner at our traditional African Boma Fire);
- A Guided Safari Game Walk
every morning;
- A Guided Safari Game Drive
every afternoon; AND
- A tour and mampoer tasting at
our cultural attraction - the Nyati jjj Distillery.

Buffalo Hills Game Reserve & Lodges can help you to arrange local transfers between Buffalo Hills and Plettenberg Bay or Knysna - please contact us for details.
Climate
The Garden Route is a narrow coastal strip bordered by high mountain ranges to the north and the warm Indian Ocean to the south. This spectacularly beautiful region is the only part of the entire African continent that experiences all-year rainfall - but the bonus is that our climate remains mild and pleasant throughout both summer and winter.
SUMMER on the Garden Route is characterised by hot days and warm evenings, whilst WINTER offers warm days and cool - or even chilly - evenings (perfect for enjoying a blazing log fire and a warming liqueur produced right here at Buffalo Hills by our Nyati jjj Mampoer & Liqueur Distillery). Frost is vary rare, and snow, which may dust the peaks of the mountains about once every three years, never reaches the coastal areas.
Importantly, more than 70% of our rain falls at night, and the Garden Route experiences very few strong coastal winds.
Malaria-free
Buffalo Hills Game Reserve & Lodges - indeed, the entire Western Cape Province - is entirely malaria free. So you'll not only be comfortable when you visit us - you'll be safe, too.
