Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5\* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities were great. For the price you pay I would have expected high quality meals. ##### Mingyuet ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A luxury all- inclusive game lodge experience. The 8km drive from the main road is dirt and gravel so a little challenging for our tiny hire car. A warm welcome on arrival and our room was very spacious and comfortable ( the bed was quite hard but perhaps the mattress was new). An indoor and outdoor shower meant you could wash under the incredible stars in the night sky if so inclined. Lodge was comfortable and well decorated if slightly lacking in atmosphere. Not sure if the pools were for swimming in but they looked attractive. Meals were all delicious with generous portions. The highlight of course was the game drives - you are assigned one ranger for your stay and get two drives per night stay. Our driver Edisonnwas completely brilliant and made sure we saw Lions, Elephant, Giraffe and Rhino as well as numerous species of antelope, baboons and birds. We managed three drives but opted on our last morning to relax at the lodge instead. There are more luxurious lodges out there but this is at the high end of the less expensive lodges on Amakhala. ##### Alison Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sébastien 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Parfait Excellent sejour. Staff aux petits soins. Repas all inclusive très agréable. Les guides-safaris se démènent malgré le temps qui n'était avec nous.

Worauf sich Gäste jedoch einstellen müssen: - 7,5km Anreise auf einer sehr schlechten „Safari-Straße“ mit vielen Schlaglöchern und anderen Hindernissen - Kein TV in Suites (Für uns war das nicht störend da die Lage traumhaft ist) - Auswahl an Essen etwas limitiert ##### Bastian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary-Laure 12 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Allez-y Séjour parfait, staff sympathique, bonne nourriture, très bon guide ##### Mary-Laure Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 20 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Lodge with awful access road for cars A great lodge in Amakhala reserve.

Lucky, our guide, was fun and informative. The tent was amazing and comfortable. The staff,with one exception, were very welcoming and eager to see were pleased. Minor blemishes, evening meals disappointing and minibar items used were not replaced. Amakhala highly recommended for inclusion on South African tour. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren 2 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant Bukhela Brilliant service, amazing setting, loved it!

Bukela Game Lodge is the perfect stay for a short safari. We stayed 2 days at the lodge and never experienced such a luxury. The staff makes sure everything is perfectly arranged. Bukela is the only lodge that is not fenced in the area which makes it possible to wake up and have wild animals outside your front door. Would definitely recommend Bukela! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Großartige Anlage mit liebenswertem Personal Liebe zum Detail, wunderschöne Chalets mit Ofen und Blick in den Giebel.

Wir mussten in die Hlosi Lodge ausweichen und sind nach einem Tag voller Ärger abgereist. Das Management hat uns zugesagt, Expedia zu informieren und uns den kompletten Buchungsbetrag zu erstatten. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Edgar 11 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Für uns kein Luxusresort und schon gar keine \*\*\*\*\* Leider konnten wir bei unserem Aufenthalt die vorangegangenen Bewertungen so gar nicht nachvollziehen. Entweder hatten wir einfach Pech... oder aber die Qualität in "fast" allen Bereichen hat extremst nachgelassen. Wir haben 2 Nächte dort verbracht. Wir wurden weder nach unserem Game Drive am 1\. Abend besonders in Empfang genommen, noch wurde der Abend besonders gemütlich zelebriert (es war auch kein Manager vor Ort) und bei meiner Nachfrage nach dem Abendessen, nach einem Amarula wurde ich vom Personal schräg angeschaut, noch wurde generell nach Getränkewünschen gefragt. Man musste jeder Flasche Wasser hinter herlaufen. Am 2\. Abend war es dann sehr viel gemütlicher eingedeckt (die Managerin war diesmal vor Ort) dafür waren leider beide Gerichte eine völlige Katastrophe. Das Lamm war so durch, dass man es weder schneiden noch kauen konnte und der Fisch "roch", dass alle Gäste ihn zurück gehen liessen. So etwas darf doch nicht passieren. Am 2\. Morgen mussten wir nach der Rückkehr des morgendlichen, dreistündigen Game Drives über 1 Stunde auf Kaffee und Frühstück warten (dabei ist doch bekannt, wann man zurückkommt... und die Managerin war vor Ort) Leider war auch unserer Fahrer bei den ersten Fahrten sehr unmotiviert, was sich dann erst auf der letzten Fahrt gebessert hat. Zum Glück haben wir aber trotzdem einige Tiere zu sehen bekommen. Alles in allem (unsere Klimaanlage in der Hütte war auch noch defekt) waren wir leider ziemlich enttäuscht von der gesamten Entwicklung! ##### Edgar ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Thanks for a fabulous experience They did everything possible to accomodate us.
