Nxakwe is the Xhosa name for Warthog. These entertaining creatures are found in plentiful numbers in this region. Nxakwe Lodge is run by the Danckwerts family. This is a true African style lodge where lighting is battery and paraffin powered.

Nxakwe Lodge consists of a thatched double story dining/entertainment room and central lapa area, where a blazing open log fire mesmerizes you as drinks are served under the African night stars.

Sleeping quarters are thatched bungalows with en-suite bathrooms. These bungalows are connected to each other and the central lapa area by wooden walkways.

Buffelsfontein Lodge is a luxurious colonial style lodge set in the Stormberg Mountains. Steeped in history, it was once a post office and inn for weary travelers to rest their oxen and horses between the diamond and gold mines in the north and the docks in the south. Buffelsfontein Lodge is owned and run by fifth generation Robbie and Angela Stretton.

After a solid days shooting in the mountains, Buffelsfontein Lodge can be a welcome sight for the cold and weary hunter, where fond memories of the day’s shooting can be re-lived around the large stone fireplace in the entertainment room.

Hosting, fine wine and dinning is the order of the day. All this provides the necessary ingredients for a good evening’s entertainment.
