Buffelsdrift closing down

[Theunissa]

So buffelsdrift tea park posted on Facebook. That they will be closing down. Such sad news this is. It is a very nice trail to go out to

This makes me sad. I really enjoyed riding there.

I spoke to the manager last year before spring and already they were talking about it .The good rains we are having is not good for them .No customers and higher maintenance .When they started out we were just getting out of a drought so the trails were used a lot

Ja very sad to hear and see.

 

Trails were great and offered good variety. A shame.

It's difficult to maintain all those tracks. And the road to the place is bad. I live close there and it's a nice place. The squatter camp doesn't make it better. Amazing how the uselessness and lack of care from municipality can affect a bussiness. It's not just rains.

This is really sad. The Buffel is my favorite trail in all of Gauteng.

This was my favourite trail park when I lived up in Pta, miss riding there alot. Such a shame.

Hi guys, apparently they have re-opened, cannot find info on the internet but someone on FB commented, does anyone know for sure if they have opened? Which trails?

Seems like you need to join the club to ride there. Post below:

I have a friend that lives there.
They do ride there often but the tracks are no longer maintained.  Almost overgrown at the moment after the summer rains.

I think the locals still has a "club" there going but not open to the public as far as I know.

Closest now is "Die Bosveld"

Such a pity, I keep hoping they'll reopen some of the trails. The best trail park in Gauteng IMO.

There are about 30km trials open now. The maintenance was done by club members.  The trails only have a chance to survive if more riders join the club. See info below. I rode there yesterday for the first time in almost  a year. Happy  to be back. I really missed Buffels
