Amakhosi Safari Lodge & Spa

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The rooms and main lodge are beautifully designed. It's comfortable, and there is air conditioning for the very hot days. The service was absolutely impeccable. I have stayed at some 5-star luxury resorts that could learn a thing or two from Amakhosi! Our every need was considered and catered to. They don’t lie when they say they will treat you like royalty! Manager, Sonya, was also present and lovely to speak to. As for the game drives, Phillip & Jeremy were very knowledgeable and professional. They made sure we were safe and saw everything we wanted to. After each game drive you are welcomed back with hand towels and a refreshing drink. The food was so much better than anything we could have imagined for an all-inclusive. It was like eating at a high-end restaurant for every meal. Food is abundant with 6 meals a day, so prepare to be bloated! Our host, Emma, was warm, welcoming and easy to talk to. She made us feel so comfortable from the get-go. Thank you Amakhosi team for the most incredible stay!

An experience of a lifetime that the staff at Amakhosi made so special. Our guide and tracker Philip and Jeremy made sure we saw more than we could imagine. The staff were amazing and so very attentive to every detail of our stay. We shall be back to see you all again.

From the moment we arrived, until the moment we left, we were treated as family. The rooms were beautiful and I was not expecting the quality of food that was presented. Dinner was romantic and presented like a gourmet restaurant. Our guides Reuben and Mandla were professional and clearly cared for the animals and their environment. We saw 4 of the big 5 on our first drive! I felt safe at all times. And can we talk about the hot water bottles and blankets to keep us warm? Heaven at 6 am! I went to the spa twice and that was amazing as well. Thank you for the memories.

Superb natural Environment with lots of all sorts of animals (except Chitas), excellent guide for the different game rides, very comfortable housing, excellent food and very friendly and helpful staff. To arrive there the about 40 Km gravel road from Bethel to Magudu is not advisable. The detour over Pongola is worth the additional 25 min.

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.
