The 7,500ha Amakhala Game Reserve offers malaria-free game viewing. 'Amakhala' is named after the Xhosa word meaning Aloes. This prolific indigenous plant is widely found in this diverse province. Steeped in history and beauty, this game reserve creates an ideal environment for an unforgettable safari.
Amakhala Woodbury Lodge is spectacularly set against a cliff breathtaking views of the Bushman's River. It offers an intimate and tranquil experience of the riverine bushveld at its best. It is the ideal place for families to relax and enjoy the bush together.
Six comfortably appointed stone and thatch lodges, and two family chalets, each have air-conditioning, underfloor heating, en-suite bathroom and a private viewing deck. The seclusion of the lodges and the design of the bathrooms and outdoor relaxation areas enable you to enjoy the unique views from many angles. You may even be lucky enough to see an elephant herd passing by the camp in the late afternoon.
There are a range of activities to participate in at Woodbury Lodge. These include game viewing, river cruises and bush walks. Or simply soak up the African sun around the pool or enjoy some quiet bird watching from the deck. Water levels permitting, you can also enjoy afternoon sundowner cruises on the river.
Amakhala Woodbury Lodge is now accredited with Fair Trade Tourism which promotes responsible tourism throughout Southern Africa.
I liked the setting of Woodbury Lodge, and the service was very good. We had a knowledgeable guide – he spent some time as a guide at Mala Mala. A good if modest four stay offering.
