点评:Our two-day stay at Buffelsfontein Game & Nature Reserve was an unforgettable experience.
We stayed in one of the self-catering cottages for two people (there are also cottages for four). We specifically chose this cottage because it is located close to one of the waterholes, and we were not disappointed. We were lucky enough to see many animals coming down to drink, including the famous rhinos White Rhinoceros Max and Lilly. Seeing these magnificent animals so close in their natural environment was truly amazing.
The cottages are simple and comfortable. They do not have air conditioning, so during very hot weather it can get quite warm. But we came for the wildlife experience rather than luxury, and the cottage was very neat and had everything we needed.
A helpful tip: stop in the nearby town of Yzerfontein to buy any groceries or supplies before heading to the reserve, so you don’t need to drive back and forth.
The reserve also has a beautiful swimming pool area with a bar and comfortable lounge chairs — perfect for relaxing outdoors after a game drive. We did the 90-minute game drive and it was fantastic. I would recommend taking the morning drive at 09:00, as the chances of seeing animals are usually better.
There is also a lovely restaurant on the reserve. The food was great, although it can get quite warm inside due to the pizza oven, so air conditioning might be a good future improvement.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our ranger, Willie, was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the animals. We absolutely loved the experience with him.
For visitors wanting more luxury, there are also beautiful stone cottages with air conditioning, as well as a large guesthouse.
Overall, this reserve is very affordable for ordinary South Africans and offers a fantastic opportunity to experience wildlife in nature. Even if you don’t stay overnight, you can still book a game drive for the day.
Highly recommended!
翻译:我们在布法尔斯方丹野生动物保护区度过了两天难忘的时光。
我们入住的是一间可供两人使用的自助式小屋(保护区也有可供四人使用的小屋)。我们特意选择了这间小屋,因为它靠近一个水塘,而它也确实没有让我们失望。我们很幸运地看到许多动物前来饮水,其中包括著名的白犀牛马克斯和莉莉。在它们的自然栖息地如此近距离地观赏这些雄伟的动物,真是令人惊叹。
小屋简洁舒适。由于没有空调,所以在炎热的天气里会比较闷热。但我们此行的目的是体验野生动物之旅,而不是追求奢华享受,而小屋非常整洁,设施齐全。
温馨提示:建议您在前往保护区之前先到附近的伊泽方丹镇购买所需的食品和用品,这样就不用来回奔波了。
保护区内还有一个漂亮的游泳池区,配有酒吧和舒适的躺椅——是游猎结束后放松身心的理想场所。我们参加了90分钟的野生动物观赏之旅,体验非常棒。我建议选择早上9点的行程,因为那时看到动物的几率通常更高。
保护区内还有一家很棒的餐厅。食物很美味,不过由于披萨烤炉的存在,餐厅里会比较热,所以如果能安装空调就更好了。
工作人员热情友好。我们的巡护员威利知识渊博,对动物充满热情。我们非常喜欢和他一起的体验。
如果想要更舒适的住宿体验,这里还有漂亮的带空调的石头小屋,以及一家大型宾馆。
总的来说,对于普通的南非人来说,这个保护区的价格非常实惠,而且提供了一个绝佳的机会,可以亲身感受野生动物的自然魅力。即使不住宿,您也可以预订一日游的野生动物观赏之旅。
强烈推荐!
