Guest reviews Woodbury Lodge

Great Experience

We spent two nights at the Woodbury Lodge and went on four game drives. The lodge is located in a very nice surrounding with a great view over the park, we could even spot wild animals from our porch. Our room was comfortable and clean. Be conscious that you are close to nature, we had a few spiders visiting our hut, harmless ones but quick on their feet. Game drives were really nice and our guide Seamus made them even better - so knowledgeable and friendly. We saw something new every drive and stopped for coffee with stunning views along the way. Meals at the lodge was served family-style with all guests, making it easy to connect and talk about the experiences from the day. Food was no culinary experience but definitely OK. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend Woodbury Lodge to others looking for a Safari-experience in the area.

One of my favourite places

We stayed for 3 nights, it was our second time staying at Amakhala. We had the giraffe lodge which was spotlessly clean, bed really comfy. The food was delicious and we very much enjoyed the serve yourself bar😃 The stars if the show were the animals themselves, which we got to see twice a day on the game drives with Nikki our guide. She was very knowledgable and was keen to impart that knowledge. Not only that, she was an excellent reverser! We had some fantastic sightings , even managed to see the cheetah on a very wet and cold evening drive. Was wonderful, I’ll always remember it. We hope that all the staff who worked so hard to make our stay so special are safe and well. We hope too one day to be able to come back to enjoy another stay in your little slice of paradise.

If you are looking for a well-run private game reserve surrounded by rolling hills and lots of wild animals, this place is ideal. Excellent food, lovely rooms and friendly staff. Our game ride guide was outstanding and we saw all of the Big 5 in just two trips.

Fabulous!

We had such an amazing two night trip to Woodbury Lodge. Beautiful setting, lovely room, super friendly staff, great food and a camp fire...what's not to love!! Our ranger Donovan was brilliant especially with our 10 year old who was captivated by every game drive. Every trip out was different and we saw so many animals and hardly any other people.

Woodbury Lodge, Amakhala game reserve really ticks the boxes

Spacious, clean well equipped room - lodge with great views and patio. Large double bedroom with small twin bedroom. Good plentiful food and drinks. Friendly staff and management. The only thing missing was a safe
