Guest review
10.0Gostamos de simplesmente tudo, alimentação muito saborosa, funcionário atenciosos. O guia josep fazia de tudo para encontrar os animais. Fizemos 5 safaris, não conseguimos ver os big 5, faltou o leopardo e o leão macho.. mas foi uma experiência maravilhosa. A natureza é imprevisível.. O quarto é muito confortável e limpo. Os funcionários limpam duas vezes por dia !!! Uma pequena observação. Seria bom se colocassem mosquiteiros nos quartos em cima da cama..
You are treated like royalty and the staff is super friendly!

10.0Struttura molto accogliente completamente immersa nella natura. La terrazza del ristorante da su una piccola pozza d’acqua dove spesso gli animali (elefanti, bufali ecc…) vengono ad abbeverarsi. Personale fantastico gentile, sempre disponibile e sorridente. Safari molto belli (siamo riusciti a vedere i big five compresi i Leopardi)
Buffalo Ridge Exceeded Every Expectation
10.0Buffalo Ridge was one of the most special travel experiences we have ever had. The lodge is beautiful, the wildlife was incredible, and Madikwe exceeded our expectations, but what made this place unforgettable was the people. Our guide, Joseph, was outstanding. His knowledge, tracking ability, and patience helped us see four of the Big Five, along with cheetahs, African wild dogs, lion cubs, elephant calves, and even a one-month-old rhino calf. We quickly learned that great safari sightings are the result of skill and experience, not just luck. The lodge itself was peaceful and relaxing, with comfortable chalets, beautiful views, and wildlife visible even from the property. We especially enjoyed spending time overlooking the watering hole between game drives. The hospitality was the best we have experienced anywhere. The food was exceptional, and every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. A special thank you to Godfrey and Priscilla, who went out of their way to help me when I developed a sinus infection during our stay. We arrived expecting to remember the animals. We left knowing that what we will remember most is the people. If we are fortunate enough to return to South Africa someday, Buffalo Ridge will be at the top of our list.

Probably the best price quality ratio in area
9.0Everything was what we expected. Probably not the most luxurious in the area but certainly the best quality price ratio. Meals were very good and guides very nice. They found solutions for the logistics problems we had (partly self inflicted)
