Description

Buffelsfontein Game & Nature Reserve is a private game reserve situated an hour’s drive from Cape Town in the heart of the West Coast, a malaria free zone. Come and enjoy what we have to offer, from magnificent wildlife to superb South African scenery. At Buffelsfontein we believe in making your stay with us a memorable experience that will last a lifetime.

Buffelsfontein Game & Nature reserve is situated on the R27 on the West Coast.

It is less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town city centre and this makes it ideal for a quick get-away or day excursion.

This once 1 600ha cattle farm came under ownership of Mr Paul Loubser in 1993 who realized the potential of the land to serve as a reserve and tourist destination. The infrastructure started changing over time with the introduction of a restaurant, bar and accommodation. Only smaller animal species could also be introduced at this time because of the weak perimeter fencing.

In the summer of 2000 Buffelsfontein had a huge set-back with a large destructive fire that destroyed almost everything on the then called cattle farm. This destruction included a high percentage of fencing, building structures, plant and animal life.

In the following years Buffelsfontein cattle farm literally stood up from the ashes and transformed into the successful Game & Nature reserve it is today.

Bush Camp
We have a bush camp in the dunes. This is for the adventurous at heart that does not mind going back to basics. We supply the tents and the bedding. There is running water and 4 x showers with hot water and 2 x flush toilets. In the camp there is a braai area as well. There is no electricity.
