Buffelsdrift MTB Park offers a superb range of MTB rides for all skill levels. Trails are exceptionally well kept and maintained. All the routes prove to be scenic and some of them really challenging should you wish to be taken outside your comfort zone. The cherry on the cake for me is the fact that they went out of their way to cater for everyone. Take your young ones with you and share the fun of riding a bike in nature. Take the challenge and ride their really long trails – how about over 100km? On-site is a welcomed bike shop to rescue one with all those unexpected hiccups to get you back on the trails. A coffee shop that offers a great menu is also enjoyed by everyone. Visit their Facebook page should you need updates on the trails. When it rains for a few days, the trails might be closed. Trail running and hiking are now also open to those who prefer running shoes above riding bikes…

I like the trials and the restaurant is perfect for a breakfast after ride. I do however suggest to not ride here if it rained the night before. The mud is really insane. Lots of effort is put in to keep all going.

Don’t do the 15km trail if you doubt your fitness. The last 6km (after the split between the 15km and the 10km) is the toughest and requires grit and mental toughness to get through to the end. Very good training with a backpack if one wants to prepare for multi-day backpacking trips.

This a large park, completely untouched except for the camp area and the trails. A perfect place to enjoy the mountains and nature. The camp has a central area for campers and caravans, with the outside area comprising units of different sizes and facilities. We stayed in Chalet 3, ideal for a couple with many amenities available including a good fridge, gas cooker, cutlery and crockery. Due to COVID-19 we took our own sheets, blankets, and pillows, since they are not providing these during these times. The staff were all friendly and all were strictly wearing masks. The swimming pool, a little way away from the units, is large although the seats are quite uncomfortable, and some cushions would be welcome. We took two of the walks while there. The West Pools, for which we could not find the route down to the pools themselves, and also to the Slide Pools, which is an easier walk and the pools are incredible. Take good walking shoes since there are places where you will need these. The walks are in the open and suggest that you take hats and suntan lotion as well. We ate at the restaurant on two nights and really enjoyed the food and also the exceptional view into the distance. We found that the pricing is reasonable for what is provided, and we found that the roads to the camp are also good, although not perfect. There is a small shop there, but it does not offer much, and suggest that you bring everything you need before you here to the camp. There are no shops close to the camp. We will be back, and perhaps a few times per year. A perfect place to get away from the city, from TV, from the noises (no noise allowed after 9pm).
