DESCRIPTION:

Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is a five star lodge situated at a prime site in the west of the Madikwe Game Reserve. The inception of this exclusive lodge has an exceptionally inspiring story to it in terms of local community upliftment, business smart, outstanding management and of course, breathtaking location and lavish accommodation.

The main lodge sits on the slopes of a hill across a ravine, separating it from the chalets. Spectacularly located on two tiers of the ridge, the main lodge is accessed via a wooden bridge that crosses a ravine surrounded by rock figs. The dining room and pool are located on the upper tier and the reception, lounge and sun deck on the lower tier. Each of the living areas has its own character, mood and style providing the guests with a selection of breathtaking views and tranquil spaces.

Each of the chalets is positioned on the ridge with expansive views to the north. No children under 12 years.

ACCOMMODATION
