We had a bautiful night there with our three children. Perfect service, wonderful safari and very breakfast and lunch

Stayed in April 2022

The rooms are a little dated but that comes with the safari experience.

This hotel is entirely about the safari experience. When I was staying here we were actually the only people at the hotel which was great for the safari tours where our guide Rob brought us to find all sorts of amazing animals and was extremely knowledgeable. The food prepared for us was also very good.

Rooms were not well maintained, some of the (rather little) staff neither friendly, nor professional. Aircon was broken, nobody cared, meaning 2 nights hard to sleep. Huge spiders in the room and scorpions in the bathroom. However, you should be prepared for that in a bush camp, so we do not complain about it. Food is okay, not fancy, though. I am sure, things will improve when pandemic ends and more visitors come again.

Rob is the best guide for games Drives you can get. It was breathtaking. The setting of the lodge is very nice with great views.

Super amazing lodge with beautiful views over the wildpark. We could see wild animals from our patio. The game drive was so good. We saw 3 from the Big 5. Our guide Shamus was incredible - he was not only super knowledgable but also a lot of fun. He made our trip.

We had an absolutely amazing experience in the lodge. Beautiful views, very welcoming staff, comfortable and stylish interiors, delicious food and most importantly very interesting drives. Our ranger Rob took such a good care of us and shared so much incredible information. We had such a great time with him and couldn't be more thankful! We will certainly come back again.

Unfortunately had some rain but desperately needed and still managed to enjoy the game drives.

Fantastic location! Had a family room - lovely beds and bathroom. Three delicious meals included - chef was fantastic. Two game drives daily and saw lots of animals - guides (Sibella and Brad) were fantastic and made each drive memorable.

The unit was not cleaned once during our stay and that is not acceptable.

The whole experience was great. The food great and animals amazing.

Reasonable mid-range game lodge in a great setting within Amakhala reserve. Food was fine without being brilliant. Ample supplies of wine and beer included in the cost plus 2 game drives per day. Game rangers/guides were friendly, professional and well informed. Amakhala is a beautiful location and an ok addition for those wanting an introductory game experience. The quantity of big game is limited by the size of the reserve, but every effort is made for sightings. There is a no off-road/track policy at sightings which can be limiting for photos. A day trip to Addo Elephant Park as an add-on is advisable if you wish to see any quantity of elephants.

the rooms are a bit old and the mosquito net was dirty. the food is not good which was disappointing and the service did not come with the usual warmth we’ve received in all other places we’ve stayed.

room location was great and we loved sitting out on the deck. we also had some good animal sightings.

Stayed in December 2023

We did not see as much of the animals as we expected we would see.

It was nice and peaceful. It was a beautiful location. We had a great game driver.

Too expensive.

Stayed in July 2023

mini bar fridge in room was not stocked with drinks for our all inclusive just water, our shower didn’t drain, not a very big variety of drinks at the bar, only 4 Savanna Dry’s we finished. no bottle of water though given on the game drive. no sparkling wine or other cider selection. sundowner game drive didn’t have a good spread just one drink each (we were asked what we wanted) with 3 tina of snacks. the morning game drive had only a tin of tennis biscuits for a snack no rusks. the boma had a tiny fire we that burned our after dinner and we couldn’t enjoy or sit around after. our lookout decks patio furniture had no cushions. so just a bunch of small details that would have made big difference at the end. we have been to multiple lodges and safaris to compare the price/services offered.

beautiful location, friendly staff (rangers and more) room was always set up and ready upon returning from game drives. rangers couldn’t drive off the path to get us a little bit closer to animals like at other game reserves, they did otherwise an amazing job trying to find us animals and very knowledgeable. blankets and rain ponchos handed out with binoculars.

Accommodation was tired though not uncomfortable Food choice, quality and service could be improved upon Relatively poor value for money versus other lodges we stayed at

Good game viewing though guide appeared relatively inexperienced
