Luxury Tents in Amakhala Game Reserve

Everything about our stay was fantastic. The staff were super and so helpful, rooms were beautiful and spacious and the food was delicious. The game drives were also amazing.

We absolutely loved our stay at Woodbury. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the ability to watch the wildlife from the dining room decking. Special mention to Jesse our safari guide for making our first safari such a fantastic experience - wish we had stayed longer. Thanks everyone.

Just wow! Great game reserve, wonderful set up, friendly staff, great game drives with Brett, lovely food and wine

Im not sure where to start! The location is incredible as it is in the game reserve and unfenced, but we never felt unsafe as they have thought of everything (regular checks, whistles in the rooms) and to hear elephant and lion roars whilst relaxing in your private hot tub is an experience like no other. The lack of electricity didn't bother us at all, in fact we found it delightful to have a detox. Having said that, you do get patches of phone signal, for me on o2 from the UK, this was typically in higher areas when we stopped for sundowners which meant I was able to send photos of the incredible sightings to friends and family. We did the overnight trail and cave experience which i cannot recommend enough. Riyan and Miguel were knowledgeable and made us feel safe. It was amazing to learn about the smaller things that you wouldn't ever see on a game drive. Getting to the cave is accessible with a degree of challenge. The set up once we got down there was slick with Riaan cooking an epic braai, open fire, wine and talking as we stargazed. The staff at the camp also work tirelessly to make this luxury. Coming back from an evening game drive in the dark and being greeted with an amarula hot chocolate and enthusiasm on what we saw that day (especially by Nick who was so knowledgeable and great to talk to) and to find our hot tub fires roaring and hot water bottles tucked under the duvet are all extra touches we weren't expecting but made the trip feel that much more exclusive. Finally a huge shout out to our main guide Tinash, whom we nicknamed 'Tenacious Tinash' as he was so dedicated to finding us the very best park sightings to the best of his abilities (it's nature afterall). He managed to secure us the best sighting of a female cheetah and her tiny 4 cubs trotting down the path at dusk as she found somewhere to tuck them in for the night.
