Four days in the Klein Karoo

Leave Cape Town behind for three nights at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge near Oudtshoorn. This extended safari combines guided wildlife drives with an elephant experience and a dedicated lion feeding experience, giving you an extra day at the lodge rather than returning to the city on day three.

Elephants, lions and sunset outings

After your arrival lunch and first sunset game drive, spend day two enjoying breakfast, the elephant experience, lunch and an afternoon game drive. Day three brings breakfast, the lodge’s lion feeding experience and lunch, followed by another sunset game drive. Lion feeding is a scheduled lodge activity, not a promise of encountering free-roaming lions on a game drive. All activity arrangements are subject to availability, and wildlife sightings on drives vary.

A final morning before the journey home

On day four, enjoy the same departure programme as the existing three-day safari: an early morning game drive, breakfast, time to freshen up, checkout and your return transfer to Cape Town. The road journey between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn involves substantial travel time.

Your extended safari price

US$1,699.10 per person sharing is the existing three-day sharing price of US$1,307 multiplied by 1.3. Your package includes return Cape Town transfers, three nights sharing at Buffelsdrift, the four listed game drives, elephant and lion feeding experiences, and the meals listed below. Dinners remain optional and payable separately, as in the existing three-day programme.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Cape Town to Buffelsdrift & sunset game drive

Your driver collects you from your Cape Town hotel or Cape Town International Airport for the scenic transfer to Buffelsdrift Game Lodge near Oudtshoorn. Settle into your luxury tented accommodation and enjoy lunch at the lodge before the sunset game drive. Return for an evening at leisure and your first overnight stay. Dinner is optional and payable separately.

Day 2 – Elephant experience & afternoon safari

Enjoy breakfast before the guided elephant experience, learning about the lodge’s elephants and observing their behaviour. Return for lunch and time to relax at the lodge, then head out for an afternoon game drive. Spend a second night at Buffelsdrift; dinner is optional and payable separately.

Day 3 – Lion feeding experience & sunset game drive

Instead of checking out, stay for another full day at Buffelsdrift. Begin with breakfast, followed by the scheduled lion feeding experience with the lodge team. Enjoy lunch and time at leisure before your sunset game drive. Return to the lodge for your third overnight stay; dinner is optional and payable separately.

Day 4 – Early game drive, breakfast & return to Cape Town

Begin with an early morning game drive, then return to the lodge for breakfast. Freshen up, check out and meet your driver for the return transfer to Cape Town, following the same final-day programme as the three-day Buffelsdrift safari. Your arrival time depends on road conditions and confirmed departure arrangements.
