Amakhosi Safari Lodge & Spa

Superb natural Environment with lots of all sorts of animals (except Chitas), excellent guide for the different game rides, very comfortable housing, excellent food and very friendly and helpful staff. To arrive there the about 40 Km gravel road from Bethel to Magudu is not advisable. The detour over Pongola is worth the additional 25 min.

Cannot recommend this lodge highly enough! The occasion was a deferred low key celebration of my 60th birthday. Our family (husband, adult son and myself) visited the lodge for 2 night this week. We have been lucky enough to experience the hospitality at some high end game lodges in the past few years, but Amakhosi blew our socks off! Sonja and her tea, and our ranger and tracker, King and Jeremy made the entire experience utterly fabulous. From beautifully appointed chalets, to sublime food courtesy of Naughty and her team to the incredible big 5 sightings, some of the best I've see in my many years round the sun. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience, highest praise for the staff and especially our ranger, Ruben and our tracker, Mandla. Ruben is enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and he and Mandla worked well together, finding and spotting the game we were excited to see. I would recommend Amakhosi Lodge to a anyone looking for an exceptional safari. There was a problem in the bathroom with a light fixture and a faucet problem, but staff was quick to rectify both.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The rooms and main lodge are beautifully designed. It's comfortable, and there is air conditioning for the very hot days. The service was absolutely impeccable. I have stayed at some 5-star luxury resorts that could learn a thing or two from Amakhosi! Our every need was considered and catered to. They don’t lie when they say they will treat you like royalty! Manager, Sonya, was also present and lovely to speak to. As for the game drives, Phillip & Jeremy were very knowledgeable and professional. They made sure we were safe and saw everything we wanted to. After each game drive you are welcomed back with hand towels and a refreshing drink. The food was so much better than anything we could have imagined for an all-inclusive. It was like eating at a high-end restaurant for every meal. Food is abundant with 6 meals a day, so prepare to be bloated! Our host, Emma, was warm, welcoming and easy to talk to. She made us feel so comfortable from the get-go. Thank you Amakhosi team for the most incredible stay!

An experience of a lifetime that the staff at Amakhosi made so special. Our guide and tracker Philip and Jeremy made sure we saw more than we could imagine. The staff were amazing and so very attentive to every detail of our stay. We shall be back to see you all again.

Amazing stay at Amakhosi We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Amakhosi Safari Lodge! The honeymoon suite was well appointed. The candlelight bath and petals were magic. Our only disappointment was that the pool on our decking wasn't heated. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa treatments outstanding. We were hoping to see Cheetahs and our excellent, very knowledgeable and humorous guide did not disappoint us! We saw the family of cheetahs twice as well as lots of other animals and they were amazing. Well done Kyle. The meals were very tasty, well prepared and presented. Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.
