NIGHT SAFARI – BUFFELSDRIFT

The Night Safari at Buffelsdrift near Oudtshoorn offers an unforgettable chance to explore the wild under the stars. This two-hour night drive at Buffelsdrift takes you deep into the Karoo after dark, where powerful spotlights reveal a world you don’t see during the day.

Hop into an open safari vehicle with a max of 10 guests, wrapped up in cozy blankets, as you venture out to spot the elusive “Shy Five”: caracal, genet, porcupine, aardvark, and aardwolf. These nocturnal creatures are masters of the night, and your guide will help you spot them in their natural habitat.

But that’s not all, the night safari also gives you the chance to see other Buffelsdrift residents like hippos grazing quietly, graceful giraffes, Cape Mountain zebras, sable antelope, elands, and mighty buffalo. There’s something magical about spotting these animals under the glow of the Klein Karoo night sky.

About halfway through, you’ll pause for a refreshment break where hot beverages will warm you up as you soak in the endless stars above. On clear nights, the Milky Way shines vibrantly, making it the perfect moment to marvel at the Klein Karoo’s cosmic show while enjoying the peaceful night.

The night safari is a rare opportunity to witness hunting behaviours and animal interactions you’d never catch during daylight. This experience is ideal for those wanting a unique perspective on Karoo wildlife and the thrill of the wild after dark.

• Guided night safari in an open game vehicle at Buffelsdrift near Oudtshoorn
