The honeymoon suite was well appointed. The candlelight bath and petals were magic. Our only disappointment was that the pool on our decking wasn't heated. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa treatments outstanding. We were hoping to see Cheetahs and our excellent, very knowledgeable and humorous guide did not disappoint us! We saw the family of cheetahs twice as well as lots of other animals and they were amazing. Well done Kyle. The meals were very tasty, well prepared and presented. Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended. ##### Charmaine Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 6 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoffrey 21 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Geoffrey Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALEXANDRA 16 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amakhosi game lodge and spa ##### ALEXANDRA Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Faultless Absolute perfection from the second we arrived until the morning we said goodbye.

Totalt 8 bungalower av meget god standard med usjenert terrasse mot naturen. God mat, og flotte safari-turer med kunnskapsrik guide. Vi så Big Five og mange flere dyr. Kun gjester fra denne lodgen som gjør safarier i området, hvilket betyr at man ikke føler at det mer turister enn dyr...Eneste negative er at det er 4-5 timers kjøring fra Durban. ##### Christoffer Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A real treat!
