Abbiamo passato tre notti in questo bellissimo lodge nella riserva privata di amakhala in una family tent con le nostre figlie. È stata una esperienza bellissima. Struttura meravigliosa con spazi comuni curatissimi e con vista mozzafiato sulla vallata. Cibo buonissimo e pulizia impeccabile. Tutto lo staff è stato di una tale gentilezza (e pazienza) sia con noi che con le piccole da farci sentire a casa. Le game drive sono state ovviamente il pezzo forte del nostro soggiorno. Siamo riusciti a vedere Leone, elefanti, giraffe, ippopotamo, rinoceronti, ecc. Entrambe le nostre guide, J.P. e Lenny, sono state strepitose. In particolare JP - giovanissimo ma con una grande conoscenza della riserva e degli animali - si è dilungato in dettagli da noi poco noti sugli animali, le loro abitudini e le dinamiche nel parco, mentre Lenny con la sua esperienza di dieci anni - ci ha consentito di vedere da vicinissimo scene mozzafiato come quella di un leone con un facocero nelle sue fauci a distanza di un metro dal veicolo o un gruppo di ghepardi. Ottima struttura per una famiglia alla mia esperienza di Safari.

Wir hatten hier den allertollsten Teil unserer dreiwöchigen Rundreise! Beim Gedanken an diese Erfahrung bekomme ich schon wieder Tränen in den Augen, es war alles einfach so besonders! Von der ersten Sekunde an hat man sich so wohl und willkommen gefühlt - also kommt auf jedenfall so früh es geht! Auch wenn unsere Zelte noch nicht bezugsfertig waren, haben wir uns draußen auf der Terasse aufgehalten und gemütlich etwas gespielt, getrunken und an der Wasserstelle direkt eine Antilope und 2 Warzenschweine getroffen. Im Zelt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, es gab einen Turn-Down Service, das Essen und Frühstück mit allen Gästen war sehr gemütlich und lecker, der All-Inclusive Kühlschrank war immer gut befüllt, das Gelände sehr schön und natürlich, tolles Lagerfeuer mit Wein und Kakao nach der abendlichen Safari, schöne Pools, sooo liebes und zuvorkommendes Personal und das allerbeste: Die Safaris!!!! Unser Guide Greg war so lieb und so begeistert von seinem Job und den Tieren! Hat uns bestens informiert, immer länger mit uns gefahren als vorgesehen und durch ihn und seinen Eifer haben wir alle besonderen Tiere getroffen!! Wir waren ganz verliebt in ihn!!

Une adresse vraiment exceptionnelle. Le personnel est aux petits oignons et le service au top. On voit beaucoup d'animaux notamment des rhinocéros, guépards et lions. Notre guide Greg était très connaisseur. Seul bémol: dans la chambre aucune armoire pour mettre ses vêtements. Très bon rapport qualité/prix!

Die Ausfahrten zwei mal täglich mit dem großen Geländewagen sind grandios und der Park bietet deutlich mehr als der Addo. Die Zelte selbst (1-5 hat gute Sicht) sind passend ausgestattet. Die Pools sind kühl und sauber und laden über Tag zum relaxen ein. Gegessen und getrunken wird gemeinsam an langen Tischen. So kommt man wunderbar ins Gespräch. Die Küchenleistung ist allenfalls mittelmäßig, aber hierher fährt man nicht wegen des Essens. Erwägenswert ist auch die gute Atmosphäre und die sehr freundlichen Menschen im Service. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

What an experience! We were at Woodbury tented camp in Amakhala for one night with safaris in the evening and morning. Our guide was Roxi and she made the entire time there truly brilliant. The camp facilities and staff were exceptional with great service and food included. Roxi was the person who made the actual safaris so good. Her knowledge, experience and even the way she handled the vehicle in very challenging environments made our trips out so memorable. The tent facilities were incredible, including shower and air conditioning. The common area space was really comfortable and cozy with a fire greeting you when returning from a drive. The food was great and plentiful as was the drink. I cannot recommend these people, service and whole experience enough. Five stars !!!

We had a wonderful family vacation. Great place to celebrate the New Year. Very comfortable accommodation, wonderful service and friendly staff. We felt very welcome and nothing was a problem. Loved that all the tents have a gorgeous view to wake up to with wildlife spotting from the deck!! Had great game drives and our guide Greg was very knowledgeable and managed to show us everything we wanted to see except the elusive leopard!!! The scenery at Amakhala is nothing less than spectacular. Extra bonus that there’s no malaria there. We will definitely recommend to friends and return in the future.

Fantastic safari experience Fantastic camp. The only thing I can complain about is the lunch and dinner. I would appreciate more African food. It was not so much taste and mediocre. We have experienced so much good food on the our trip so we had high expectations on the food here as well.

Naturbelassene Unterkunft mitten in der Natur! Schlafen im Zelt ist immer etwas abenteuerlich, aber ein Muss auf einer Safari! Die Zelte haben sogar ein Bad und eine Terrasse, die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und natürlich! Beim leckeren frühstücken auf der Terrasse den Elefanten zuschauen, zwischen den Safaris entspannen an einem der beiden Pool’s! Die Guide’s waren super, das Essen lecker und das Personal sehr freundlich! Und wir haben ganz viele Tiere gesehen:)
