It is well known for its pristine beauty, eagle & leopard conservation programs & eco friendly farming methods as well as adventure events & accommodation. BUCKLANDS GUEST FARM is a 5th generation Horn family farm, in the Steytlerville district, Eastern Cape, South Africa. The farm lies in the south eastern corner of the Great Karoo, bordering the Kamdeboo on our north, and the Baviaans Kloof, on our south. The area is of great ecological importance, as it is home to about 7000 plant species, incorporating 5 plant biomes. It is also home to some of the last remaining Cape Mountain Leopards, and the pristine beauty is further enriched by remnants of prehistoric history, Khoisan paintings and artefacts, and some colonial history. Bucklands is a working sheep farm, but we frequently host various adventure sport events under the name of Buckaroo Adventure Sports, which has it’s own page on this website. So, opportunities for a visit are endless; you can come to rest and relax in one of 3 chalets and some camps, or hike the amazing Groot Rivier Poort Hiking Trail over 2 to 5 days, come play on the 4x4 courses, bring your mountain bike to explore or do the fast growing Cockscomb Classic MTB. We also host weddings, corporate events, year end functions and parties of almost any kind. Please explore the website for more, and come visit or contact us for any information you may need.

This weekend we had the privilege of hosting the Cape Town outreach team of Eddie Andrew's and his team. (Ja, jy's reg, die oud Springboks stut, einste hy.) They came to spread hope and dignity in the form of school shoes and some other goodies for the school kids.
We had a lekker kuier and a bit of fun in the mud, but what a nice group of people! Thank you for the interest in our kids and community, and always welcome on Bucklands!

The campsite at the Bucklands farmstead has been upgraded and works very well. I am preparing for Overlanders and for the big rigs, size matters. The new ablution has 2 gas shower and 3 toilets and a scullery with an amazing view of the Cockscomb mountain. So, we are ready, the view is great, the veld is beautiful and the weather is as good as it gets. Time to dust off the camping gear and hook the trailer...

Ek kon hierdie week die eerste keer na die vloed by die wild camping kampeerplek, Vate se G*t uitkom. Die pad na die Duintjies 4x4 Speelplek, is nou 'n 4x4 speelplek, en om by Vate se G*t uit te kom gaan slim bestuur kos met 'n ordentlike 4x4. Die kano's is nog daar, hoewel een hoog in 'n boom sit, maar die piekniektafel is saam met die vloedwater, Patensie toe! Die windskerm waar die luiperd die bobbejane vasgekeer het, hang nog so halfmas daar, maar die kamp self het 'n diep holte gespoel. Gelukkig het die braaidrom gebly, mens kan braai!

It's time for your next visit, Spring is here!      # bird watching

We can now at least use the road with a 4x4, but guests with small cars will be fetched from the other side of the river with a bakkie. The farm is still green as we had no frost yet, absolutely amazing!

Ons het gister 13 fietsryers van Freedom Challenge se Karoo Meander Tier op Bucklands gehad. Die rivier is nog n modderbad en ek Moe's hulle toe met die bakkie en sleepwa deurvat, die trekker is te swaar, hy sak eenvoudig in. Ons het dit darem gemaak, met heelwat adrenaline en baie genade!

Bucklands had about 140 mm of rain on Wednesday and Thursday, and the Groot Rivier is in full flood, almost a meter higher than the flood of 2000, and higher than the '71 flood. We are cut off and without Eskom for the third day, but apart from damage on the roads and some water pipes, we had very little damage. Our hearts go out to the Patensie and Gamtoos farmers!

A sincere thank you to Bucklands Guest Farm for hosting the MCSA National Camp 2026.

From the beautiful setting and excellent facilities to the warm hospitality and support throughout the week, Bucklands provided the perfect base for a memorable National Camp in the heart of the Eastern Cape mountains.

We are deeply grateful for the welcome we received and look forward to returning to this remarkable area in the future.
