Escape to Rustic Elegance
Commanding incredible vistas from its perch atop Tunnel Mountain, Buffalo Mountain Lodge makes for a delightful ‘home away from home’ in stunning surroundings.

A short drive up Tunnel Mountain Road from downtown Banff brings you to Buffalo Mountain Lodge, set peacefully amid beautiful tall pine trees. Just walking into the property gives you the sensation of being in an authentic, old-style mountain home. It’s an impression that continues in your room, with a cosy stone fireplace, wooden beamed ceilings, rustic furnishings – simple but very comfortable – and those wonderful mountain views. Many of the rooms have their own balcony or patio.
In the main lodge, The Prow is the hotel’s stylish restaurant where you can expect to enjoy mountain-themed tapas, homemade pasta, local brews and inventive cocktails. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Mountain Cafe is the perfect place to grab a coffee or fresh pastry before heading out for the day’s adventure. The outdoor stainless steel hot tub is best enjoyed after an invigorating hike, bike or ski on the nearby trails.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The Ultimate Travel Company created a completely bespoke trip for us. Every detail was carefully thought through. From handpicked hotels and seamless flights to unforgettable tours and local experiences, nothing was off the shelf. Just excellent, personalised service from start to finish.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
