Safari Lodge - Amakhala Game Reserve

Stayed at Safari Lodge as part of a group visiting two nights during our World Cruisr. Great staff, lovely food and drinks. Lodges very clean and comfortable. Our Ranger, Martin has been there 14 years. Knows the 9000acres like the back of his hand and has incredible knowledge of the animals and plants on the reserve. We had a very close encounter with both the elephants and lions and with his reassurance were within a metre or so of both. An unforgettable experience.

We stayed at the Safari Lodge - what a once in a lifetime experience. The accommodations are amazing with great attention to detail in every aspect. The bed was awesome, the plunge pool was so great to stand in while watching the various animals come to the water hole just below our bungalow (#2). The outdoor showers were great and the sitting room was so comfortable. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed trying a variety of choices. We met Juan Van Rensburg (food and drink manager) when he took us back to PE to catch a flight and enjoyed visiting and listening to his experiences and stories about the lodge and his staff. He was a really interesting and awesome guy, Our butler extraordinaire was Bulelani. He was was simply outstanding and took such amazing care of us. Thando was also one of the staff who was a great guy and bartender. Our guides were Bradley, Justin and Martin. All were highly skilled guides and were experts in finding the animals and giving great narratives on a variety of topics. We were fortunate to have been able to see all of the major animals we had hoped to see and a lot we had not anticipated. The Safari Lodge is the most western of lodges on the game reserve so they offer a day at Addo Elephant National Park if you are spending 3 nights. We had visited Addo a few days prior so we opted to stay within Amakhala - glad we did as we saw the lions up close as well as the cheetahs for the second time in addition to the large male hippo. The Safari Lodge is definitely a must when considering where to stay and Amakhala Game Reserve. We could not have asked for a better experience - it exceeded our expectations by miles and was worth every penny

Lodging, staff and services were all amazing. The guides were simply outstanding. Wonderfyl ex

Uma excelente opção. Um rústico que oferece todo o conforto necessário para o hóspede. O quarto é enorme e a piscina individual um plus. Tem geladeira, cafeteira, água e biscotinhos... Cama deliciosa, ar-condicionado bom e banheiro completo, com chuveiro ao ar livre, água quentinha e forte. O restaurante é impecável. Comidas deliciosas e uma ótima opção de cardápio para jantar e almoço. Café da manhã farto e delicioso. Os safáris são duas vezes ao dia. Pela manhã (depois de um leve café da manhã, que é completo na volta) e no fim da tarde. A equipe toda foi de enorme profissionalismo, bom humor e gentileza. O nosso ranger (guia) era impecável. Sabia tudo. E buscou com afinco os animais e vinha sempre com explicações incriveis. A reserva é privada. enorme e linda. Uma experiência única

We were treated like royalty! Everything about this safari lodge amazing The setting,the privacy,the accommodation, food,staff. We had Martin as our Safari guide who was incredible knowledgeable about everything. We were treated like royalty Highly recommend

Amazing If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Our entire stay was nothing short of spectacular. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive, with Sheldon, our butler, doing an amazing job to make sure everything was flawless.The meals were absolutely fantastic, and as vegetarians, we were thrilled with the creative and delicious vegetarian dishes prepared just for us—each meal was a culinary masterpiece! The rooms were breathtaking—beautifully decorated and luxurious, offering total comfort. And the game drives were beyond magical! Our ranger, President, shared fascinating stories throughout, making the experience so much richer. He was determined that we see all the important animals, and we ended up seeing far more wildlife than we ever expected. This place is an absolute paradise, filled with unforgettable moments. If you're searching for the perfect escape, look no further—you’ve found it!
