Buffalo Hills - the beauty and tranquillity of Africa in the malaria-free Garden Route. Situated a mere 15 km from Plettenberg Bay and 45 km from Knysna, the reserve is the ideal place to taste the true flavour of Africa. It's here that you can enjoy so much more than the ultimate wildlife experience...
View big game such as giraffe, leopard, zebra, wildebeest and antelope - sable, eland, kudu, amongst others, at close quarters on a fun-filled game drive. Also join us on an informative guided morning walk through indigenous forest, fynbos and along the Bitou River, with a chance to spot some of the 150 bird varieties.
Take part in the Elephant Gorge overnight hiking trail - a luxury guided portaged (1 night, 2 night or 3 night) trail that follows a historic wagon route, including a nocturnal hike. (Bring only your boots).
The closely guarded secret of just how Nyati (Jack"s Jungle Juice) is distilled comes to you in the form of a truly unique African liqueur with subtle flavours from South Africa including Marula fruit, van der Hum, Strawberry and many more...
Distillery tours and tastings are part of the Buffalo Hills Game drives or you could just visit our new distillery (opening soon!) without making any booking at all. Come and enjoy these award-winning, double-distilled liqueurs in the age-old African tradition. Or better yet, take home a few samples of Jack's Jungle Juice to share with friends and family...
And after all this activity, guests can relax in our 4-star, luxurious safari lodges, en-suite tents or the Stone Cottage (a historic homestead with 2 bedrooms, cozy lounge and fireplace). Where else will you find a tent with a private Jacuzzi bath attached?
Dining is superb in our boma (the traditional African outdoor cooking area). Our menus are designed around the traditional South African braai (barbeque), with game (venison) being an obvious speciality. Small and exclusive and run by people with extensive experience - that"s what makes Buffalo Hills an ideal destination.
