Both are Dharmic religions based on the law of karma and belief in reincarnation. Some differences of approach are there, but the ultimate aim of both is Moksha(Hindu) or Nirvana(Buddhism).
Buddhism was actually born of Hinduism.
The basic difference is this. Hindus believe in an eternal existence of self which can eventually merge into a greater self (Atman).
Buddhists, however, believe that the self(ego) is ultimately transitory, and its elimination is freedom from material existence which is suffering.
They are really quite different approaches with very different endpoints, yet the practices (meditation, chanting, self-discipline) and effects (happiness, serenity) are very similar.
Both realize that life seen through the bodily senses is not the ultimate reality which is transcendent to the material world.
