Holiday Rentals in Manyeleti Game Reserve

private birding safari was excellent

Staying at Buffelshoek was one of the best experiences of our lives. It is an unfenced camp, so the animals can roam free through it. We were welcomed by an elephant on arrival. During the day, you can move freely from your tend/house to the main house; at night, the staff will accompany you for dinner. There's no electricity apart from lights in the rooms, but there's hot water, and there's always a breeze coming in from the windows, and when it is too hot, you can always go to the main house, on the sundeck. The rooms are so lovely and spacious, and so is the bathroom. The sunrises you will see from your bed staying here are the most beautiful. You eat with the other guests, and there is a fixed menu, but they are very accommodating and had no problem making vegetarian food for us! The cook is great; we ate very, very well. The fact that it is an unfenced camp also meant that a snake got into the main house one night and that we could hear the elephants scratching on the trees near the houses at night, and it was a little scary. But first of all, the staff took care of the snake with no trouble, and second, for us, the fear was immediately overcome by the awe of being so close to nature. This is such an authentic and well-cared-for place, and we truly loved it. A special thank you to Benson, our fantastic guide and driver who made this experience even more special (we saw all the big 5, tons of animals, even in big groups).

Th eleephants being so close to us

Friendly staff, nice 3 meals by Sharon, good games by Andre, saw big 4, waterbuck and some animals came nearby the tent, enjoyed ourselves so much. There are some returned travellers so I think they are really good.

Great wild spot. Hearing Lion and Hyaena was a treat.

Very well tended camp in the bush, close to Kruger and several other game reserves. Owner Bhili and staff are very friendly, lovely people. Lloyd cooks delicious breakfast and dinner and is a thoughtfull host. The camp is solar powered so there is no problem with load shedding. Dinner is served in a traditional boma with a fire in the middle. Bhili is a great storyteller and also a very experienced guide with extensive knowledge about animals, birds and plants. The gamedrives where spectacular! The beds are very comfortable, the tents and common areas are very clean and well maintained. Remember you are in the bush in the middle of nature, keep your tent closed or you may have roommates with four or more legs!

Fantastic location, very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic views for all the rooms. This is an adult's only, so it was very quiet and relaxing Great game drives
