Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge

The Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is a luxurious 16-bed facility located in the heart of the majestic Madikwe Game Reserve. It was meticulously designed by the acclaimed small lodge designer, Nick Plewman. The lodge offers an unrivaled experience that combines luxury and privacy.

Perched on the Tweedepoort Ridge, the lodge features expansive views of the northern plains and Inselbergs, creating a picturesque backdrop for an unforgettable stay. The central lodge is strategically positioned on the slopes of a hill and connected to the chalets by a ravine, ensuring ultimate tranquility and seclusion. Each chalet is carefully placed on the ridge, granting guests captivating views to the north.

Since its grand opening in November 2004, the Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge has continuously impressed guests with its unparalleled beauty and charm. It features eight luxurious suites, all boasting their own viewing decks. The suites are decorated in natural hues of color and texture, creating a serene ambiance that harmoniously blends with the surrounding bushveld. Sliding doors and showers in every room allow guests to enjoy a seamless connection with nature.

The main lodge is perched on two tiers of the ridge and is accessible via a wooden bridge that gracefully crosses a ravine circled by rock figs. It features a reception area, dining room, lounge, upper and lower deck, and a swimming pool. The lodge offers a range of activities, including open vehicle game drives, walks, tracking, stargazing, bush dining, birding, and botany interests.

Children of all ages are warmly welcomed at the lodge, and babysitting services are available at an additional charge. Children under the age of 6 are not permitted on game drives, but the lodge can arrange a special kiddies drive upon request. For children aged 2 to 12 sharing a suite with two adults, a discounted rate of 50% of the adult sharing rate applies, with a maximum of one child per suite sharing with two adults.
