Overview

Amakhala Hlosi Lodge is a tranquil grassland retreat within the 7,500ha Amakhala Game Reserve of the malaria-free Eastern Cape. 'Amakhala' is named after the Xhosa word meaning 'aloe', the prolific indigenous plant found in this uniquely diverse province. This game reserve creates an ideal environment for an unforgettable safari and an intimate experience of the varied landscape, including breathtaking views of the Bushman's River.

Hlosi Lodge is known for its family-friendly accommodation. Lying along a gentle curve of hill above the river plain, the suites offer wide-open views. The main lodge includes elegant lounge and dining areas, and a lovely bar overlooking the natural ‘waterhole’ swimming pool and bird hide.

The fenced Amakhala Hlosi Lodge is frequented by remarkable wildlife coming to drink from the waterhole. Watch from the comfort of your spa bath as buffalo come to visit, or share your sun-downers at the bar with a herd of elephant drinking from the swimming pool (which forms part of the boundary).

Hlosi is known as a family-friendly game lodge with a family safari programme on offer, special kiddies game drives (for 3 to 5 years old) and various family accommodation options available (see more detail under rooms & suites)
