Buccara Wildlife Reserve welcomes guests to their Secret Places in South Africa and an Adventure of a Lifetime. Throughout history, man has followed the wings of migratory birds and tracked the hoof-prints of animals to arrive at secret places of plentiful nourishment, relaxation, peace, and beauty and Buccara Wildlife Reserve is proud to honour this tradition.
At Buccara Wildlife Reserve healthy living, peaceful coexistence with the land and indigenous culture, wildlife conservation, ecological awareness, and quality of life are preserved by the team to be shared with and enjoyed by all of our guests.

Surrounded by the Camdeboo National Park, Graaff-Reinet, the heart of the Great Karoo - Place of Thirst - is a boundless and mysterious area covered by vast livestock and game farms, where broad plains roll away to distant koppies and multilayered mountains that seem to touch the indigo sky. Listen to the silence, breathe in the aged earth and the Karoo bossies, which conjure up the taste of Karoo lamb, and gaze at a startlingly clear horizon that seems drawn at the other end of the earth. Our clear night skies are studded with countless stars and huge bright planets; even other galaxies are visible with the naked eye, offering some of the best star gazing in the world. We invite you to experience the magic of this area, and discover eccentric little hamlets, sprawling farmsteads, the historical town of Graaff-Reinet and the nearby villages of Aberdeen and Nieu Bethesda, populated by warm and welcoming people who love to share their stories and legends.
