It was amazing all through and through. The lodge felt very private, the staff were very friendly, the drives were spectacular, and the food was great. Special shout out to our ranger, Martin, who was very knowledgeable and his passion was contagious.

We had an unforgettable stay at Woodbury Lodge in the Amakhala Game Reserve. Our visit was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip, and much of that is thanks to our exceptional guide, Nico. We went on four game drives with him, and each one was truly outstanding. Nico was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about the reserve and its wildlife. He explained so much along the way, often taking extra time to make sure we could fully experience and understand what we were seeing. Thanks to his amazing local knowledge and keen eye, we were able to observe a wide variety of animals (all Big 5), creating moments we will never forget. The lodge itself was wonderful as well – cozy, welcoming, and beautifully set in the landscape. The food was very good, and the atmosphere throughout our stay was warm and relaxed. We were truly thrilled with our time at Woodbury Lodge and would recommend it without hesitation.

We really loved our stay in the camp! Everything was simply perfect. Everyone was extremly friendly and helpful and of course the game drives were the highlights of our stays. Thanks you our guide Don we were able to see a lot of animals from close up - with the litter of lions and the "encounter" of giraffs with cheetah but always with a respectful distance not to disturbe the animals. The view from the tent was also wonderful - with the sunrises as the absolute highlight.

You will be sure to have a magnificent stay here. Extremely comfortable and very private. Very nice staff and, especially, a highly skilled game driver named Lubela who managed to make every game drive better than the previous. But also a very ”family atmosphere” in the lodge. All meals and drinks are included with nice food served every day. Induli lodge was opened in 2024 and is nicely renovated/decorated with many attention to details. Matt, the owner was very attentive and fulfilled your requests for any specific liquor etc. that you felt was missing.

I believe there are around eight lodges working Amakhala and it doesn't seem congested but seems just the right size. The amount of different animals to be seen no congestion of game run trucks is great

The staff at Amakhala were very friendly and helpful.

The staff at Amakhala were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. the room was large and when you came back after the second safari they had turned the lights on. folded down the beds and put the heating on. That is a really great touch from the staff. The Park Rangers were very good. We had Jessie and he was very informative and had a great sense of humour. He really did his best to find the animals we all wanted to see and made it a special experience.

Amakhala Game Reserve is a haven for wild animals and a brilliant place for a safari. Many of the animals used to roam the land 100 years ago before the land was used for farming. In the early 2000's the land was returned to its natural habitat and the animals reintroduced, with the aim of conservation and breeding of endangered species. As it is in a malaria-free area, it is the perfect location for a safari for people who get bitten by mozzies! There were only a few jeeps out on drives at any time, so you rarely come across other people. There are several lodges in the reserve to choose as your base (we stayed at Safari Lodge, which was brilliant).

Beautiful place, well managed where the staff have massive respect for the animals and care for them, from a respectful distance. Not too many people out on the drives at once which is good as some reserves can get quite crowded - shows good management. Saw all the animals we could have hoped for and got to witness some amazing things, from a close but safe distance. Amazing. Relatively easy to get to too. It is a dirt road leading up to the lodge but easy to navigate even in a very small car which is what we had. Great experience.

A beautiful and well managed reserve.

A beautiful and well managed reserve. The landscape and different biomes are interesting to see and the wildlife are abundant. It is not crowded and made us like we where to only people there. Its clear to see that are leaders in conservation management and community engagement.
