I recently stayed at Buffalo Thorn, and it was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and attention to detail that made our stay extra special. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, offering a seamless blend of luxury and nature. Our accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with stunning views of the surrounding wilderness. The private deck was a perfect place to unwind while watching the wildlife roam nearby.

Woke up to a bush buck on our veranda. An overnight stay on way from Botswana to Jo'burg. The staff delivered a beautiful tasty dinner to us which we ate watching eland drinking at the waterhole in front of our chalet. Excellent chalet and facilities. Thoroughly recommend.

Very comfortable and well appointed rooms. In the country, which is what we were looking for, only 20km from Groblersbrug border post, as an overnight stop before heading into Botswana.

Our stay at the retreat was excellent. So quiet and relaxing. Simply the best to just sit and listen to the birds, watch the beauty God created and view the game coming to the waterhole mostly early to late evening. Take a refreshing swim or just laze around in the pool. Most of my time was spent just sitting in silence enjoying nature. I would definitely recommended Buffalo Thorn Safari Lodge for an escape from the nosiy city life.

Wow what a great place. We had thew time of our lives honestly I did not expect to wake up to eland in my back yard every single morning. The staff was helpful as well, Anne was very quick to respond to any queries we had. Despite the effects of load shedding on the water and general lighting we will be back. It's a great escape from the city.

This is a fantastic place - overnight stay but get there earlyish so you can appreciate the set up and enjoy a sundowner while watching the game coming to drink and eat. We highly recommend this wonderful lodge.

Loved the scenery, and the chalet was very nice and cosy. Would have liked the kitchen a bit cleaner but over all, it was a great weekend.

This must be the best kept secret in this area and definitely the best overnight accommodation we have ever stayed at. Would love to bring the extended family for a family gathering. Will definitely recommend to all I know.
