Amakhosi Safari Lodge & Spa

Excellent safari, food and experience. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. We enjoyed the lion cubs and seeing all the rhinos. Rueben and Mangla - knowledgeable and a great team to track the animals. Thank you for a great experience and making our trip memorable.

The lodge itself was kept very clean. Very spacious. Huge deck with a big bonfire pit that was utilized one night for a barbar(hope I got that right). The spa was very nice with a pool out in front. I was in one of the river view chalets. Out of this world!!! My ranger and tracker were very knowledgeable and I became friends with my ranger, Ruben. He took me out one morning for a bush walk. Highly recommend it.

Wow. Absolutely awesome. My husband and I just got back from a weekend at Amakhosi. The location on the banks of the Mhkuze River is spectacular. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that our every need is catered for. The chalets are beautiful and luxurious. The food is delicious. But the highlight of our trip was definitely our game drives with our ranger, King, and our tracker, Zac. They are so in tune with the bush and ensured we had a spectacular experience. Thank you again for an amazing weekend. We will definitely be back.

Out of this world experience!! Amakhosi lodge is the place to go! We can’t rate highly enough!! An amazing holiday we had, the staff are attentive and the rooms are beautiful. A huge thank you to ranger Jacques and tracker Zach for making memorable moments, and not forgetting Muzi and Zinhle for looking after us in the lodge (and accommodating my sons fussy eating !!)

Stunning place, friendly and service-minded staff and excellent rangers/tracers for the safari. The lodge provides a high-end experience. The game park has all you can dream of. "The big five" plus loads of other animals. Not crowded as you might experience other game parks. We would love to come back to Amakhosi.

From arrival just in time for lunch, to our departure after a three night stay, we were made to feel like part of the family and were looked after like royalty. All staff members were always smiling and were friendly, "genuine" and accommodating which is not always easy to find. In particular we would like to thank King our ranger and Arrows our spotter who made our 6 game drives the best we have ever experienced, we have previously been on game drives in Kenya and South Africa but these were simply outstanding! King and Arrows were funny, relaxed and chatty and King was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. On our first drive we were lucky enough to see 4 out of the big 5 (including a leopard!) By the end of our 6 game drives we had even seen another leopard, this time right outside the lodge on a rock by the river. We also saw a huge alligator down by the river whilst eating breakfast one morning. Other staff members that stood out for us and we would like to personally thank were Zinhle, the assistant manager (wicked sense of humour!), and Sya and Nhlanda who made our meal times even more enjoyable with their fantastic service and friendliness. I would also like to thank Nhlanda who made my close encounter with the friendly giraffe who visited one evening before dinner, an experience that I will never forget and will treasure forever. Our lodge overlooking the river was fantastic, very luxurious with a very comfy bed and fantastic views. It was an easy minute's walk to the main bar/dining area which was lovely and had a nice homely feel to it. All food during our stay was of an exceptional quality and was always plentiful and beautifully presented. We didn't have any treatments at the spa but did make use of the swimming pool there which overlooks the river and was very relaxing. A massive thank you to you all at Amakhosi for making our stay/experience the best we have ever experienced, it was truly magical, please don't change a thing!

The people, the lodge, the food, the game drive- it’s just fantastic and they never stop spoling you on every matter. We have vern visiting ten times, and it’s unthinkable to not visit this lodge when in South Africa

This was our first Game Drive experiences and we'll never forget this!!! We stayed for 5 nights and it's was really an experience of a life time! My 3 children, age 13 / 15 and 17 years old were so impressed of what we've seen! Our ranger Philip and tracker Jeremy did their utmost best to find al the wild life! The atmosphere during each game drive was perfect. We've seen them all! The hospitality factor at Amakhosi is as their slogan; A King's Pride! The staff is very committed and are very friendly. The service level is really good. Every breakfast, lunch and diner was perfect! For a game drive resort Amakhosi is the place to be!!!!
