Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve

Review by hotel critic

Greetings from Sydney, Australia! As a passionate wildlife conservationist, I have had the privilege of working in various South African national parks. During my recent Christmas getaway, I had the pleasure of staying at a truly remarkable eco-lodge that exceeded all my expectations.The lodge, nestled within the heart of a pristine reserve, provided a warm and friendly welcome that instantly set the tone for a memorable visit. The comfortable tents, complete with electric blankets for the chilly nights, offered a cozy retreat after exhilarating game drives. Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild, including the majestic roar of lions at night, I felt truly immersed in nature.The culinary experience was equally delightful, with homemade meals that catered to every palate. Despite the cold weather, the lodge's thoughtful amenities, such as open fires and electric mattress pads, ensured a comfortable stay throughout.From knowledgeable rangers to an abundance of wildlife sightings, every aspect of my stay at this hidden gem was superb. I look forward to returning to this special place that holds a piece of my heart.
