About Amakhosi Safari Lodge

The Lodge
An extraordinary destination where royal treatment is normal to each day, and no two days are the same, making this concealed, unscathed paradise worthwhile exploring.
River Suites
Six luxurious river suites capture nature through ceiling-high windows and private viewing decks across the river. Each suite accommodates two adults with an air conditioned lounge, bedroom, bathroom , separate shower and toilet, safe, bath robes, fully stocked mini-bar and a tea and coffee tray.

Built in a shape of a Zulu shield and decorated in a typical Zulu style with a colourful modern touch, all suites are easily accessible from the main lodge.
Umntwana Honeymoon Suites
Umntwana, means "a child of Royalty" in Zulu. Slip into a nirvana in this private kingdom with high thatched ceilings and glass walls. An open-plan design with spacious deck, a private bubble pool and hammock overlooking the river, truly spell royal dwellings?, whilst an air-conditioned bedroom and lounge, fully stocked mini-bar, tea/coffee making facilities and en-suite bathroom , transports lovers into a fantasy world of their own where nothing else matters.
Private House
Also known as "IsiGodlo" meaning a Chief residence, is our private house which overlooks the meandering Mkuze River and is perfectly positioned to capture every African sunset which adorns the rolling hills in this pristine Zululand wilderness. Exclusive, private and located a leopard?s leap away from the main lodge, this hidden gem accommodating four deserving guests offers a share of paradise. The spacious lounge entices with large leather sofa's, a centered fireplace and bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms all opening up onto a large wooden viewing deck, giving sweeping views of the valleys and wildlife below. The splash pool provides cool relief on warm days.

What an incredible experience! Three days of adventure, wildlife and pure joy. From the moment we arrived at Amakhosi lodge, we were whole-heartedly welcomed by the entire Amakhosi team. From the dining, spa, game-drives, the service was impeccable. Not only do you feel well looked after, but you really feel like part of the Amakhosi family. Big shout out to Kyle and Zukele for the amazing wildlife experiences. We saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, warthogs, impalas, rhinos, you name it. Zinhle, Emma and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make sure we did not have to worry about a thing during our stay. A truly memorable experience and I would recommend anyone looking for an authentic safari experience to do it with Amakhosi lodge. Thank you so much and see you next time! Best regards, Frederik and Nuchanart

WOW From the moment you arrive you know this is going to be special. The service, the staff the food all were amazing. Probably the best ever. Add in game drives and the experience / encounters with the BIG 5 makes this the most wonderful and enchanting place. I have to say this was the trip of a lifetime. We will be back.

This was one of the most incredible trips and experiences my husband and I have ever had. Everyone at Amakosi was kind, helpful and friendly. We did not come here for the food, but we will certainly return for it. Wow. Every meal was excellent. Our room was gorgeous. I loved that each guest room/villa was spread out and private. The game drives were also better than I ever expected. We saw the big 5 within our first 2 days. Our ranger, Kyle was the best! He was so knowledgeable and so passionate. He went above and beyond to help us experience some thrilling animal encounters and behaviors. I could tell he really loved what he does and it made it that much better for us. We stayed 3 nights and that felt like the perfect amount of time. (Although I could have stayed forever!) I highly recommend this lodge!

I would give it 10 stars if I could- Rooms, staff, view, atmosphere, food, game drives, and service are all 5-star quality. The owners are so nice and helpful. Their professionalism blew us away. You have your own mini bar which is so cool, the rangers are so experienced and gave us once-in-a-lifetime experiences, the food was modern, filling, and caters to a wide spectrum. You must visit this place- you will love it!

Incredible! The sightings were magic; we saw everything we wanted to see, and you basically have each sighting to yourself. Ranger Jacques really went above the norm, and the safari experience was just awesome. The reserve is well-managed and beautiful. I couldn't believe the views you get of the Mkuze River, right from your unit. I definitely want to come back to see what it looks like in the summer. Everything was thought of at the lodge, and the whole Amakhosi team was brilliant. The drive down from Joburg wasn't bad. Just give yourself enough time to take it easy, and follow the directions on their website. It was actually very scenic, especially as you get closer to Pongola. I loved how easy it was to get some rest in. I left feeling refreshed and almost forgot about the everyday chaos back home. I will definitely be visiting again!

Visited the spa and it was one the best spa experiences I’ve had in a long time. The therapist was friendly and welcoming. We had a high-tea after the treatment & the food was exceptional with beautiful views and nature surrounding us. Sonja was very accommodating with booking our lovely massage and high-tea. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend this beautiful place.

Great game viewing. Overall the non mgmt staff was very friendly. Massages were excellent. Our shower and vanity faucets leaked even when they were completely turned off.
