Amakhosi Safari Lodge

Wildlife Lodge · Adult Only

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.8
 

Amakhosi Lodge, meaning 'place of kings', offers an exclusive five-star safari experience in the heart of Zululand. Set on a private game reserve along the Mkuze River, it promises a deeply rewarding retreat.

The lodge's luxurious suites, adorned with modern African decor, feature high-ceiling windows, indulgent bathrooms, air-conditioning, minibars, and tea-and-coffee facilities, each complemented by a private deck with serene river views. A standalone holiday home, situated further along the river, provides an intimate escape with its own plunge pool, blending elegance with the untamed beauty of the bushveld.

The main lodge boasts a sophisticated deck with an intimate bar, a welcoming lounge, and a dining area where exquisite full-board meals are served beneath a canopy of stars, all framed by panoramic river views. Guests can unwind at the Amakhosi River SPA, where eco-friendly, holistic beauty and massage treatments rejuvenate the senses, or relax by the inviting outdoor swimming pool surrounded by the pristine wilderness.

Expert guides lead early morning and late afternoon safaris, sharing their deep knowledge of the 'Big 5' and the region's unique ecosystem, while walking safaris and birding tours offer immersive exploration. From November to February, nightly frogging safaris add a distinctive adventure. Located 336 km from King Shaka International Airport, Amakhosi Lodge delivers an unparalleled blend of luxury, adventure, and Zululand's natural splendour.
