”This was our first safari which was absolutely amazing. We got to see 4 of the big 5. We had one of the bush lodges. The lodges themselves are beautiful and huge. Our only disappointment was that we were given one of the lodges without a view onto the plain and waterhole. I did request a lodge with a view but they cannot guarantee it. The bath is huge and the outdoor shower was fabulous. The food was really good too. The service and friendliness of the staff was impeccable. Our game driver was...

”Very helpful staff; great rooms; tasty & plentiful food & drinks; excellent safari guide - Desmond- who was informative & resourceful.”

”Die haben tolle Zimmer Hund einen sehr schönen Blick auf den Stausee des Kariga. Eine Safari lohnt sich auf alle Fälle ”

”Hlosi on the Amakhala game reserve was fabulous from start to finish , all the staff were really friendly and helpful, the food was delicious with several options per course, we enjoyed every meal . The game drives were amazing , our guide Ambe was informative and knowledgeable, took the time to answer all our questions also great fun. The animals and birds we saw here were spectacular.”

”Staff and guides were all excellent and thoroughly enjoyed the drives. Lodge and food also excellent and we met some fantastic people, however we very very disappointed with our accommodation. We had expected an individual lodge in a private and peaceful setting however we were situated in a lodge attached to another lodge just above the main lodge and kitchen block. So we could constantly hear noise of the kitchen preparations,plates and bins being emptied and staff singing and talking rather...

”We had the most incredible stay at Woodbury Tented Camp in the AmaKhala Game Reserve. From the moment we arrived, Frankie made us feel so welcome, setting the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable experience. The level of service was outstanding throughout. Athenkosi and Lizole looked after us beautifully during meals, always attentive, friendly, and ensuring every detail was just right. The game drives were a real highlight. Greg, our ranger, was fantastic—knowledgeable,...

”The room was amazing and the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly! We would stay here again! We were able to see all of the animals on our first game drive and that made the trip! Thank you again for making our vacation so memorable!”

”Too expensive for the value. The roof is not tight when it rains. ”

”Definitiv die beste Unterkunft auf unserer mehr als dreiwöchigen Reise durch Südafrika. Die Lodge hat in jeder Hinsicht überzeugt. Das Hotelzimmer war einfach grossartig: sehr geräumig und sauber, tolle Lage, angenehmer Aussenbereich. Hier kann man richtig entspannen und es sich gut gehen lassen. Das Essen war vorzüglich und das Personal in allen Bereichen des Hotels ausgesprochen aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Carmen und Lucky, unser Guide bzw. Tracker, waren grossartig und wir hatten eine...

”Hi the internet kept dropping out which was annoying. As there aren’t any staff sleeping at the property nothing could be done until the morning It was really hard to contact the property. They don’t publish a mobile number and I called their landline a few times and nobody picked up.”

”Amazing surroundings! Its a hard for a 76 year old to work from a suitcase on the floor ”

”A really lovely and relaxing place to spend a few days whilst visiting the game reserves. Very attentive staff, a large and comfy bedroom A lookout deck, pool, hammock and outdoor seating area are all lovely, and would be fabulous in warmer weather. Three course dinner (set menu) was delicious and all home-prepared on site. The dining room is also very nice, and we were seated right by the fire - very welcome in August. The shower did go cold on us twice, but I think in winter it's harder...

”It’s an ok place for an out of towner. Not too many options on Makhanda. Close to town. ”
