Accommodation
The main lodge is spectacularly located on two tiers of the ridge, accessed via a wooden bridge that crosses a ravine surrounded by rock figs. Each of the living areas has its own character, mood and style providing guests with a choice of breathtaking views and tranquil spaces.
The lodge has 8 thatched suites or chalets, decorated in natural hews of colour and texture, and with sliding doors from each room and shower. Each has their own viewing deck, offering a very private and luxurious experience.
About Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge
Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge is the first wholly owned Community based Safari Lodge to be developed in South Africa. The lodge is a pure ecotourism partnership between North-West Parks, the Balete Ba Lekgophung Community and the operator, The Nature Workshop.
The community has a 45-year lease to operate a commercial lodge with traversing rights across the reserve. The concept is unique in South Africa in that the community owns the development, with substantial benefits accruing back to the community itself.
Activities
The lodge is a superb wildlife safari destination where guests are accompanied by well-trained and informative rangers who are able to interpret the many encounters whilst on safari.
Directions
Situated in the Madikwe Game Reserve, access to the lodge is either by road or by air. The reserve is approximately 3,5 hours' drive from Johannesburg, following the route via Zeerust before proceeding north past Nietverdiend. The lodge is accessed via the Wonderboom Gate.
Air transfers from Grand Central Airport or Johannesburg International Airport are available.
