Reminiscent of an East African safari camp of old, Buffalo Camp offers visitors a unique and intimate experience of the African bush. It is ideally suited to those who wish to discover the bush without compromising on comfort.

A tranquil swimming pool lies tucked away and provides the perfect spot to while away idle moments between dawn and evening safaris, for the more adventurous join your ranger on a bush walk. Eight luxury canvas tents, each sleeping two guests, are set on stilts in the upper reaches of tall trees, overlooking a seasonal river. Each tent has private bathroom facilities and is interconnected to other tents by wooden walkways high above a sandy river bed.

Set in an indigenous garden, the accommodation facilities, thatched bar, dining-room and campfire area contribute to the intimate ambience of the camp. At night, lanterns, rather than electric lights, glow under the canopy of treetops. The camp's refreshing swimming pool offers respite from the heat of the African summer or the day's adventures may be shared in the cool open-air bar with its spectacular view over the river bed.

Since the camp accommodates only 16 guests, special attention is devoted to personalized service. With the guidance of knowledgeable game rangers and its unrivalled comfort, Buffalo Camp is a truly authentic way to experience the African bush.
