Buffelshoek Tented Camp is nestled in the bushveld of the Manyeleti Game Reserve, Mpumalanga. This unfenced, electricity-free camp features five canvas-fronted tents, each accommodating two guests with three-quarter beds and en-suite bathrooms. The camp's facilities include a communal boma, dining area, lounge, and an elevated observation deck.
The camp's location in the southeastern corner of Manyeleti Game Reserve provides seamless wildlife connectivity with Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Private Nature Reserve. This strategic positioning, combined with the low density of lodges in the area, offers guests an enhanced wilderness experience with minimal crowding at wildlife sightings.
Each tented accommodation is thoughtfully designed with thatch roofs and canvas fronts, featuring en-suite bathrooms equipped with showers, basins, toilets, and gas geysers. Private lounges and terraces are set on individual raised wooden decks, offering excellent vantage points for wildlife viewing across the savannah.
The camp provides twice-daily game drives in open vehicles, allowing guests to experience both sunrise and sunset safaris. These excursions offer opportunities to spot the Big 5 and other wildlife, with spotlight-assisted nocturnal viewing during evening drives. Additional activities include bird watching, guided walks, photographic safaris, and stargazing.
The intimate setting, accommodating a maximum of ten guests, ensures personalized attention. The camp is known for its friendly local staff and knowledgeable guides who enhance the experience with their expertise and storytelling. Being unfenced, wildlife moves freely through the camp, providing an authentic African bush experience where guests can fall asleep to the sounds of nature, including hyenas and distant lion roars.
