A Perfect Stay
Our stay was incredible. Desmond, our guide, gave us some incredible sights and we were really lucky to see 4 out of the big 5 alongside various other interesting animals.
The reserve is vast and there is plenty to see, the fact that there are various lodges across the reserve means even if you have a fairly quiet hotel, there are plenty of rangers out doing drives which helps your chances of animals being spotted and your ranger making their way there.
The accomodation is lovely, a perfect room with comfortable bed and a view of a watering hole from your private plunge pool. This includes a free mini-bar which is perfect for dipping in to to spend time on the patio.
The food was fantastic, very generous and well cooked portions and the service at dinner from Sheldon and Thambo was perfect.
We weren't renting a car so got a private transfer from Martin who gave us some great info on the drive from PE and it felt like our trip started early!
All in, a perfect stay and I wouldn't hesitate to return. My only regret was only booking two night.
All in all, a faultless stay

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

The team at amakhala safari lodge are the real stars of the show. They delivered a seamless experience for us guests, making every bit of our stay enjoyable. Special shout out to Sheldon, who greated us and looked after us at every step with an efficient attitude and friendly smile. Martin our ranger was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful wildlife. We had massages with Mandy and they were excellent. The lodge itself is immaculate and decorated tastefully. Beddings, towels, toiletries, furniture, everything is both beautiful and lovely to use. The meals were delicious so a big thank to the kitchen team too.

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

Exceptional property, design, and experience with top hospitality. The common areas are picture-perfect overlooking small waterholes frequently visited by playful warthogs, curious antelope, and brightly colored birds while you eat breakfast and lunch. The villa interior surprised us in every corner from little aesthetic details, unexpected offerings in the cupboard, local bedtime stories at turndown, or staff leaving wine and glasses by the bathtub our first night. The private pools are intimate and welcome tranquil respite in between adventurous game drives during morning and afternoon. Meals were generous and varied with choice. We came for the safari park, but wished we stayed longer for the Lodge experience. Shout-out to Bulelane and his bright and playful character, who made our too-quick trip such a memorable one.
