A wooden bridge spanning a ravine leads to Buffalo Ridge Safari Lodge, set in a prime position in the west of the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve overlooking the sweeping bushveld to the distant hills. This community-inspired Lodge represents local community upliftment, providing sustainable employment and management opportunities. Built from timber, stone and thatch, the main Lodge is set on different levels with panoramic views and was designed to blend with the beauty of the natural surrounds.
Meet members of the Balete tribe, whose passion for the Lodge ensures a friendly welcome in this relaxed environment. Natural hues of colour and texture are reflected in the lodge and thatched chalets. Each chalet has its own deck providing guests with expansive views to the north, where sliding doors frame the views, and each bathroom has a shower with a glass sliding door to allow the outside in.
In the heart of this Big Five reserve, guests are treated to an exciting safari experience, with the opportunity to spot the rare wild dog. Relax at the swimming pool on the top level soaking up the views, unwind with a book, and enjoy the delicious food in this convivial setting.
