Amakhala Bukela Game Lodge

Amakhala Game Reserve is a unique conservation initiative that allows animals to be re-introduced to the area where they once roamed freely and so contributing to the conservation of our natural heritage. The 6,500-hectare Eastern Cape reserve provides breath-taking views, wide open African plains and a fantastic diversity of wildlife. Game viewing is excellent in the reserve, and the rangers are knowledgeable.

Bukela Game Lodge is a romantic and secluded safari destination tucked away into indigenous trees and bushes at the top of a hidden valley at Amakhala Game Reserve. Our tranquil Lodge and suites are the perfect setting for the intimate guest experiences for which we’re renowned.

Connected by a wooden walkway, our thatched suites offer a remarkable private wildlife-viewing experience. Indulge in sumptuous lunches and private candlelit dinners and as you fall asleep, hear the silence broken by the unmistakeable sounds of elephant and buffalo making their stately progress through the unfenced camp.

The main lodge comprises of a reception, dining and sitting area with a central fireplace which is always welcome in winter, a media area with Internet, games and books and a large wooden pool deck overlooking a small dam frequented by buffalo.

The 4 Suites and 10 Luxury Safari Tents are each individually styled in African simplicity while never compromising on luxury, sleeps 2 guests and are privately located separate to the main lodge. Each suite is well appointed for a guests’ optimal comfort with every amenity including large, en suite bathrooms each with an indoor and outdoor shower for the more adventurous, a private wooden deck, bar fridge and hot drink amenities.
