Boasting uninterrupted views across a picturesque river plain, Hlosi Game Lodge’s six suites and eight Luxury Safari Tents offer a truly intimate game-viewing experience. Perched on the edge of the beautiful Amakhala Game Reserve, the lodge shares its love of conservation, food and life with its guests. This is the most family-friendly lodge in the beautiful Amakhala Game Reserve, with a private children’s entertainment room and two suites and four tents dedicated to families. Of course, adults are also accommodated for, with each suite and tent featuring a private deck, a selection of reading material, a deep-soaking tub and a complementary decanter of sherry. The lodge provides two Game Drives a day, with a ‘Cubs on Safari’ programme offered for children aged 3-12. When not out discovering the captivating wildlife of the Amakhala Game Reserve, the lodge presents a tranquil atmosphere in which to relax as you are immersed in the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. With a pool on site, you can take a relaxing dip before enjoying a refreshing drink at the poolside bar; curl up by the roaring fire with a good book; or sit out on the verandah and enjoy views out across the waterhole. With a limited number of guests, the lodge only has a fine dining room where local chefs prepare a delightful blend of traditional African dishes and contemporary cuisine. On more informal occasions, the friendly staff prepare a traditional bush braai (barbeque) to be enjoyed beneath the stars.
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.
