Finding the right venue for a school outing is about more than just keeping kids entertained. Schools want a destination that’s safe, affordable, educational, and exciting enough to create lasting memories for students. At Buksies Resort, we’ve created exactly that.
Located in Eikenhof, Johannesburg South, Buksies Resort is one of the most popular school outing venues Gauteng schools can enjoy for day trips, educational visits, and group activities. With plenty of outdoor space, kid-friendly attractions, and relaxing picnic facilities, our resort offers the perfect mix of learning and fun.
A Safe and Family-Friendly Environment
Safety is always a top priority for schools when planning outings. At Buksies Resort, we pride ourselves on providing a clean, secure, and welcoming environment where teachers can supervise learners comfortably while children enjoy themselves freely.
Our spacious grounds allow students to move around safely while participating in activities that encourage teamwork, outdoor play, and social interaction. Friendly staff members are always available to assist groups and ensure everything runs smoothly throughout the day.
Educational Activities for Kids
One of the most common questions schools ask is:
“Are there educational activities for kids?”
Absolutely.
Our popular farm animal viewing area gives children the chance to interact with and learn about animals in a relaxed outdoor setting. For younger learners especially, seeing farm animals up close can be both educational and exciting. It’s a simple but valuable way to help children connect with nature outside of the classroom.
School groups can also use the outing as an opportunity to teach:
-Animal awareness and care
-Teamwork and group participation
-Outdoor learning experiences
-Physical activity and wellness
-Social interaction and communication skills
The open natural environment encourages curiosity, exploration, and active learning in a way traditional classrooms often can’t.
