Description

Buccara Wildlife Reserve is a distinctive retreat in the Karoo, South Africa, where guests are invited to explore the region’s Secret Places and experience an adventure of a lifetime. The property is surrounded by vast landscapes, rich wildlife, and natural beauty, providing an ideal setting for relaxation and discovery. Here, guests can enjoy star-filled skies, peaceful surroundings, and a connection to the land that has guided travellers for generations.

Accommodation is offered across several units to suit different guest requirements. Clifton Manor House and Clifton Main House may be booked per room or for exclusive use. When rooms are booked individually, guests are provided with a private bedroom and en-suite bathroom, while communal areas, including the kitchen, braai facilities, lounge, and swimming pool, are shared with other guests. Willowslopes Cottage features a private kitchenette and braai area, with access to shared facilities such as the swimming pool, dining area, bar, and communal kitchen. Willowslopes Main House offers mostly private facilities, with the swimming pool and bar area being shared. Access to Willowslopes units requires a high-clearance vehicle due to the reserve’s terrain.

On-site facilities are designed to complement a comfortable and immersive stay. Kitchens are fully equipped where applicable, allowing self-catering, while braai facilities provide an opportunity for outdoor dining. Communal areas, including lounges and dining spaces, are furnished for relaxation and socialising, and swimming pools are available to all guests staying in shared accommodation. The property also promotes healthy living and ecological awareness, ensuring that every stay aligns with Buccara Karoo’s ethos of harmony with the land, wildlife conservation, and respect for indigenous culture.

Guests at Buccara Karoo Graaff-Reinet are assured of a memorable experience, where thoughtful attention is given to comfort, natural surroundings, and the preservation of the Karoo’s unique character. Whether staying in a private house, cottage, or shared accommodation, every guest is provided with an opportunity to unwind and connect with the exceptional beauty and tranquillity of the region.
