Each of the stone and thatch lodges at Woodbury Lodge have a private deck with panoramic views of the game reserve. They are all air-conditioned and have en suite bathrooms. The lodges are connected by stone walkways tucked away into indigenous trees.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food wonderful, game drives superb (thanks Nico). The whole ambiance was relaxing, you were made to feel so welcome and cause of its smaller size, it was quite intimate. The pools and decking area are fantastic as are the views.

Amazing "character" filled house. It was like staying as a guest in a fully furnished mansion of the early 1900's. A place of stories, family portraits and mystery. Every room filled with fascinating personal family memorabilia.

Situated within the Amakhala Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape and offering an intimate Big 5 experience, these luxury lodges feature exclusive furnishings and private terraces. Safari trips with rich game-viewing opportunities are offered on site.

An absolutely fantastic few weeks at Hlosi. From the moment we arrived the staff couldn't have been friendlier. We were told we were on holiday and not to lift a finger! Our room was wonderful, with a large walk in shower, bath and even outdoor shower. We had a deck overlooking the reserve and would see wild game from there every morning. The food was lovely and plentiful. We had the most spectacular game drives. Again, the staff were all wonderful and we have memories that will last a lifetime. I would absolutely recommend staying at Hlosi.

Everything was just perfect, Chef John's food was always on point, delicious and properly prepared. Nceba's hospitality was just amazing, his communication methods were just what we needed as guest, he was always available when we needed assistance from him. Timothy's game drives were excellent and intriguing, we were always looking forward to the game drives as we were learning a lot about different animals' behaviors etc.

    The Hlosi game lodge and the reserve were one of our highlights of our SA trips. We had a lovely very spacious house and deck with 2 bathrooms with in- and outside showers. Restaurant and deck with view to the waterhole with 2 hippos was amazing. All game drives were breathtaking and “successful”. We saw all big five (replacing the leopard by cheetahs) plus giraffes, zebras, kudus, etc. very close. It was our best location to spot many animals.

    Everything! The lodges were clean, cosy and comfortable. We had a great nights sleep. The small pool on our veranda was a real treat when the sun came out, and you can look out over the grasslands spotting antelopes and warthogs.

    Food was absolutely wonderful. Staff were amazing - friendly, efficient and professional. Having spent countless days in the South African bush, this was a step above it all. To have a game ranger like Martin conducting our twice daily drives was the “cherry on the top”. His lovely attitude, enthusiasm and incredible knowledge makes the Safari Lodge a definite return location.

    Everything here is incredible, you'll be blown away by the set up, the staff, the food, the safari, the rooms, the scheduling, the drinks options, it's all spot on. The reserve itself is great, so big it feels like a lot of effort to see the animals but still small enough that we saw all of the animals we could have asked to see. The guides were incredible, so helpful, chatty and accommodating and all of the time spent at the lodge is exceptional - chill/drink/eat/coffee/swim, do what you want its all there!

    One of many lodges in a vast safari reserve - and I mean vast. Safari drives were over three hours and we saw the big five and many many other wildlife. The all inclusive nature of the lodge was exemplary - lovely meals (although little choice) and uniquely we were offered bottles of wine to take to our rooms.

    The lodges are set in a great location and all the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The 2 safari drives per day were great with Seamus, our engaging and knowledgeable guide. Facilities and food and drink (free bar) were good. Lodges were clean and comfortable.
