Buffalo Hotel

Steeped in history, the Buffalo Hotel is the oldest hotel in Mpumalanga's “Wild Frontier" tourist region. It has always been a landmark in the Lowveld. It is located on the corner of First & Torchwood Streets in Hectorspruit, exactly 1 km from the N4 after the Hectorspruit turn-off is taken.

Hectorspruit, between Malelane and Komatipoort, is 110 km from Maputo in Mozambique and 76 km from Mbombela (Nelspruit). We are therefore an ideal weekend getaway for city dwellers from the Maputo and the Mbombela areas.

It is ideally situated for business travelers, particularly those with projects in Mozambique or the Lowveld. Our mission is to provide affordable, luxury accommodation and entertainment at competitive prices.

This is supported by our ala carte restaurant, conference facilities, fabulous lapa, swimming pool and related conveniences. We are well positioned to provide access to guided day and night Kruger Park tours, bush safaris by foot, horseback riding, elephant back safaris, quad bike adventures, tiger and other fishing expeditions and many more. All activities require prior arrangements and bookings.

The world famous original Buffalo Bar with its record trophy (from which the hotel's name is derived), is a famous landmark in the Lowveld. It also features a sports bar with large flat screen TVs and an adjoining veranda with pool tables and dart boards. A dedicated bar menu is available to satisfy all appetite requirements of thirsty visitors at anytime of the day.
