Our stay at Buccara was truly wonderful and fulfilled many lifelong dreams and many ambitions for all those in our international family group. From the quality and management of the land, game and supporting wildlife to the hospitality and first-class facilities and housekeeping, we couldn’t fault it. From arrival to departure, we were delighted with the service. The staff made us feel so very welcome and at home that it was hard to tear ourselves away at the end of our stay, and it’s fair to say that new friendships were built. When out hunting and game watching, the Professional Hunters and Trackers were incredibly passionate, knowledgeable and patient; each day out, on the game-cart, was a thrilling adventure packed with new experiences. The game support team were warm and friendly and during the week, worked incredibly hard to ensure that all game harvested was respectfully recovered, and processed and that nothing went to waste. The catering was faultlessly superb and made especially good by the provenance of the meat, which all came from the estate’s hunting expeditions, including our own. Well done to Buccara’s estate management skills and to the support and delivery teams that ensure that clients never forget their experiences at this beautiful facility.
Lovely friendlyand helpful staff! What an absolutely beautiful place. Had a wonderful stay!

My wife & I stayed overnight on 20/12/2022 and for what you get, the accommodation and experience is well over priced. At their rates, one would expect a king size bed at the very least. The place has absolutely no feel of being at a 5 star game lodge whatsoever. The gardens are poorly maintained and full of exotic trees that block the views of the beautiful surrounding mountains and natural bush. Guests are not permitted to self drive through the reserve so one would expect at least one game drive per day to be included based on the pricing. If you're happy to stay in an old run down Karoo farm house at these rates, then this is the place for you. Overall, a VERY disappointing experience for my wife & I. Would definitely not recommend or ever return.

The farm is exceptionally beautiful, and the perfect place for a relaxing weekend retreat. The service from the personnel was really wonderful, with great food served with a smile! The wildlife experience was also exceptional, with plenty of different species to see and experienced staff to guide you.
