Buffelsdrift Hotels, Oudtshoorn

The best time to go to Buffelsdrift is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.This period offers clear skies, pleasant daytime temperatures, and significantly less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities like game drives and exploring the Oudtshoorn area. The drier conditions also mean that animals tend to congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot during wildlife viewing excursions.Couples or solo travellers looking for a relaxed yet adventurous escape will find this time particularly enjoyable. The cooler evenings are superb for sundowners overlooking the waterholes or enjoying a campfire under the stars. With fewer crowds than the peak summer months, you'll often have a more intimate experience with nature.For families, the shoulder months of April and October can also be a good option. While there might be a slightly higher chance of rain, temperatures are generally mild, and it's still excellent for seeing wildlife.
