"BUFF" our heavy duty modified Jeep Wrangler. A one of a kind 'Bison Proof' Safari Jeep. Unlike other tours, "Buff" travels all of Custer State Park.

"Buff" comfortably seats up to 6 adults or 7 with youth/child.

"Buff" is a wonderful Jeep . . . it's safe from the wildlife and also from the mountain storms. It has a Lexan (bullet proof) see through roof and drop down vinyl sides. However it is still a Jeep and as such is water resistant but not water proof.

You may get a little wet . . . but its OK . . . "It's a Jeep Thing"
Enjoy your day!
