Away from the world and peace and tranquility
Still in and length from of you suffer if FOMO.
Enjoyed a lovely park run close by"

"I would start by saying that we had a amazing weekend the exceeded our expectations. It start as soon as we drove through the gate, we knew we entered a place of absolute peace and tranquility. We just loved every moment from the kind hostess that welcomed as a few moments after our arrival to the long walks through the orchards and chill next to the river with a glass of red wine. We returned home(very reluctantly) completely relaxed. If you're looking for a place to rejuvenate mind, body and soul look no further that Buffalo Drift Cottage and Tented camp!"

"Perfect for birthday parties or just having a great time with your friends. No one to tells you to keep the music down. You are all alone with the river next to the cottage and huge trees. Perfect. The best part is there someone that comes and cleans the kitchen every morning."

"What a beautiful place! We had a wonderful time just relaxing on the deck, and rowing in the canoe. We saw all kinds of wildlife and such a large variety of birds.

The farm manager was very helpful and we felt very welcome. I would, however, suggest that you go there during fall and winter, as it was extremely hot during the day. Thanks again, can't wait for our next visit!!"

"We realy enjoyed our stay. No dull moment...fishing, swimming, kanooing, watching Waterbuffalo's being fed."

"We loved the tranquility of the place and the natural surroundings. The tent was clean, spacious and comfortable.

The activities on the farm itself are a bit limited (not sure if it was safe to swim in the river) but overall we had a very good time. "

"Perfect location for getaway from city life"

"What a wonderful place...as you sit on your porch overlooking the amazing tress and river, you find yourself becoming more tranquil as the hours pass by. I recommend using the canoes that are provided and exploring the river...what amazing sights! I will be seeing you very soon!

Thanks for the hospitality and for a break that was definitely needed!"

"Loved everything about the concept of Luxury Tent Camp except for a few niggly irritations eg no Egg Lifter in the Kitchen. The water bottle left on the kitchen Zinc too heavy for anybody (age 70 and 73) to lift off. The way it was you couldn't get a glass underneath to fill with water. It should s..."

The water bottle left on the kitchen Zinc too heavy for anybody (age 70 and 73) to lift off. The way it was you couldn't get a glass underneath to fill with water. It should stand on its own table and not on the only bit of working surface. No bowls should you want to make a salad."

"Where do I start?!

"Where do I start?!

This was my first Glamping experience and my word I will never go back to roughing it out! My partner and I went for my Birthday and it is exactly if not better than what I had anticipated.

The farm is absolutely breathtaking, the tented camp is situated right on the river's edge - so you have views all day/night and is well equipped with everything that you would need and pet friendly! Although the mozzies are out in full force at night - so best come prepped for that (after all you are in their land).

There is so much room for activities in this place - you can take out the canoe and go down the river, fishing if you into that kind of thing, clay pigeon shooting, take a leisurely walk around the naartjie plantation, the wildlife on the farm was nice addition too, some Zebra's, Wildebeest and of course some BUFFALO just chilling it out...

We met Hannes who is the Farm Manager and had a lovely chat about the farm, from the Add to dictionary they growing to what fish is in the dam.

I will definitely be back with my family and recommend this place to any one looking for a nature loving experience! "

"what an absolute serene evening we spent at Buffalo Drift, clean, well contained luxury tent accommodation. will definitely be back - thank you Hannes for the nice chat we had and we appreciate your friendliness as it made us feel at home from the first minute we arrived."

"What an amazing place! Beautiful, peacefull and close to many wonderful wine farms. We had such a relaxing weekend away. We would deffinatly come back. Thank you to Buffalo Drift for creating such a cosy tented camp and for making us feel so welcome!"

"We did enjoy the stay! We just want to inform you we did not have a lock! But we enjoyed every minute!"

"We spent the past weekend at the luxury tents. We had a great host Hannes who made sure we were sorted. Beautiful tent and a great place to get away from the hussle and bussle of busy life. Enjoyed our stay."

"We had an amazing time!love every moment!Thanx"

"We had lovely weekend here, just bit of a hiccup with getting in the gate to start but once we were settled in it was relaxation time. You get the camping feel without having to bring everything from the kitchen with you, nor do you have to pitch the tent, or walk to the toilet in the dark with a torch! So arriving in the dark wasn't a sore point, hehe. It gets a bit hot in the tent during the day, but they give you a nice misting fan which helped a lot, and don't forget to take mosquito repellent as you are next to a water source and they can ruin your 'Peaceful sleep' if you are unprepared like we were the first night. But after a spray on the second night they didn't bother us at all beside a little buzz in our ear... all part of camping out in the natural bush! Fire place is nicely set up with grid provided. It's about half way between Tulbagh and Riebeck Kasteel, so both places are great for a day trip out for wine/olive tasting, if you don't want to stay at camp. Oh and you also get the use of a private canoe, so you could go for a bird-watching paddle down the river, we definitely will next time!

"The pictures in on the website much more glamarous than it actually is.

Basic needs was met. By just finishing offthe place will inhance the overall appearance of it.

Farm manager, Hannes, went out of his way tomake the stay an enjoyable one.

"

"Exellent"

"Buffalo Drift was a relaxing and adventurous experience. From the friendly staff and beautifully rustic tent, to the perfume-like smell of naartjie blossoms and stargazing next to the warm camp fire; this was definitely a trip we wonÕt soon forget."

"Lovely spot.
However the gate at the front is very confusing.especially when dialing the number you suppose to and no one answers. And the phone just goes dead.
Sigh posting could be also made more easier to getting to the campsite.
All in All everything was clean and comfy.
"

"All you need and more. Very relaxing. Definitely worth a revisit."

"We had a great time.
Hannes was very nice even offered us to come have a look on how they feed the animals. We got more then what we paid for even a free tractor ride thanks. Hannes that was awesome.

"The tented camps was fantastic, nice set-up and comfortable. The environment was peaceful. Hannes was great, very friendly and made sure our tent was kept clean at all times. I would definitely revisit."

We really enjoyed our stay, the only downfall was the intense heat, so I will definitely visit again but maybe more towards winter. "

"It was very nice, we had a fantastic time. We would definitely go back and I would highly recommend it to anyone else, they will certainly enjoy it."

"I had a wonderful relaxing time. I liked the tents and the quietness of the environment."

"Our recent stay at the tented camp was great. Everything about our stay was fantastic, from the location to the actual setup. It you are looking to recharge your relationship, have fun with friends or just have a weekend with no disturbances (cellphone network is haphazard at best, which is perfect), I'd definitely recommend Buffalodrift.
The service we received from our host was exceptional and I thought the owner coming through to visit and check if we we're alright was a nice touch.
From an activity point of view there’s a lot to do, however I do think not having the quad bikes and canoes available was a bit disappointing. That didn't take away from the overall experience though.
If you have a Bakkie its perfect, my sedan took a pounding :(
Will definitely visit again in the future.

"The best for me was being woken up every morning by the singing of an abundance of birds, lots and lots of them. The tents are very comfortable, cannot fault it at all. Very peaceful environment. Speaking to Hannes who is the "can do" man on the farm, spotlights are being erected at the braai area from this week onwards as they do maintenance and improvement work on the tented accommodation. The river will be opened up shortly for free flowing water past the tents, another promise is that each tent will have there own splash pool shortly. It is definitely a spot where we will return to and if I know for sure that there aren't other guests taking their pets, I will certainly want to take my 2 Rottweiler's as they will have a ball of a time there. Love the fire pit area. Would just take camping chairs with the next time around and enough fire wood. But thank you to "Hannes" for being so helpful and friendly all of the time. See you soon."

The tent was amazing we appreciate the decor and the spacious bathroom. So much that my husband wanted to extend our stay. We will definitely be coming back as we wish to share this experience with our sons. We cannot wait to engage in the activities that is on offered. Thank you Sarah. Even though we didn't meet face to face your hospitality and engaging mannerism was felt. "
