Overview
"Our stay at Buffalo Thorn Safari Lodge"
17 Nov 2019
By Yvette van der Weele
"The accomodation was very nice but the air con was very noisy and there were bad noises coming from the roof the whole night so we didnt sleep well at all. Not sure where the noises were coming from but we think its from the roof expanding and contracting. The drawer where the cutlery was kept was also filthy. We didnt really want to use any cutlery from that drawer.The people were very friendly and the farm is lovely."
