The African Buffalo Route traverses a fun mix of double and single track with a bit of wilderness trail thrown in. The entire trail is easy to follow and, while there are many fun technical sections and features, there are B-lines where appropriate. Always be wide awake and keep your eyes open for buffalo. While these animals are not threatening as a rule, they are not friendly and can be dangerous if startled. Never approach too closely

The African Buffalo Route starts and ends at the main Farmstead. Follow Farm track 33, left onto Farm Track 31, Right onto Farm Track 32. At the end of this track, at the big clearing turn right onto the Buffalo singletrack up to where it joins Kudu South and back to Farm Track 33, and back to the Farmstead.
