Featuring striking thatched roofs that are capped with stone, the signature style of Safari Lodge is apparent even from a distance. An undisturbed and serene retreat, the lodge offers an idyllic and relaxing spot to which you can escape and be immersed in nature. Canvas blinds open to reveal picturesque views of the waterhole where monkeys play and antelope and zebra drink. Boasting private plunge pools and separate lounge areas, each of the 11 luxury air-conditioned suites has been designed and decorated to reflect the authentic African tribal style of the entire lodge, with the lodge endeavouring to provide a holistic safari experience. After an exciting Game Drive, enjoy sundowners in the bush before being welcomed beck to this intimate and tranquil lodge. Boasting large beds draped with mosquito nets, and sparkling wine on ice, this is the perfect place for a little romance.
Surrounded by a stunning river valley setting, the Woodbury Lodge promises an intimate and tranquil escape in the Amakhala Game Reserve. Ideal for families, there are a range of game viewing activities on offer and herds of elephants can often be seen passing beneath the lodge. Birds keep you company by the lodge’s pool as you cool off after a morning of wildlife spotting, while the evenings are best enjoyed around the central fire place.
The Bukela Game Lodge is an intimate safari lodge nestled within a hidden valley in the Amakhala Game Reserve, perfect for couples and older families with children over 12. A new pool overlooks the busy watering hole often frequented by elephants, and there's an elevated game hide for watching wildlife in-between game drives. It's a romantic retreat that champions sustainability; the gardens have indigenous succulents and locally sourced wood has been used in the recent refurbishment. 80% of the water used is now recycled, too – this lodge perfectly balances luxury and eco-friendly living. If you're keen on venturing beyond the reserve, the lodge is ideally placed to visit nearby Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown for a cultural day out. Meal times here are often a sociable affair. In the company of your fellow guests, enjoy a small but sumptuous African menu in the main dining room or on the outdoor deck. For a more exclusive evening, experience the cultural wonders of the boma for an informal bush braai and traditional African entertainment, or enjoy a more intimate evening with a romantic candlelit dinner in the privacy of your own suite. Paying homage to the wild African surroundings, each suite has an earthy colour scheme. Closed-system wood burners keep suites warm and an inverter air-conditioner to keep you cool. Although each suite is individually decorated, all are furnished with a luxurious spa bath, spacious lounge, and a private viewing deck that overlooks the surrounding reserve.
