Amakhala Hlosi Game Lodge

This classic safari lodge has a rambling guest area under a high thatched roof, with comfortable lounges, an indoor restaurant and an elegant bar. Hlosi combines vintage settler-style decor with modern twists throughout, and the warm glow of burnished floors and natural textures creates an inviting space in which to relax. Within the fenced grounds, kids can let off steam in the play area while parents unwind at the swimming pool overlooking the surrounding bush and waterhole nearby.

With just six luxury suites set along a gently sloping hillside overlooking the river plains, this is an intimate choice for couples, families, or small groups. Four double suites, and two family suites with an extra bedroom, all have en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and comfortable open-plan lounges leading onto raised private viewing decks. Double suites have a spa bath and fireplace. Both family suites have a small kitchenette for convenience, and all have heating and air-conditioning facilities.​

Morning and evening game drives offer exciting encounters with an abundance of wildlife, including lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard, together with some sixteen antelope species and rarities like aardvark and brown hyena. The sheer diversity of terrain and vegetation supports an equally fascinating birdlife, with open aloe-dotted grasslands at the foot of craggy hills, stretches of woodland, and deep valleys flanking the winding Bushman’s River. River cruises and guided walks add further insight to this special piece of wilderness.
