Amazing stay at Amakhosi
We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Amakhosi Safari Lodge! The honeymoon suite was well appointed. The candlelight bath and petals were magic. Our only disappointment was that the pool on our decking wasn't heated. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa treatments outstanding. We were hoping to see Cheetahs and our excellent, very knowledgeable and humorous guide did not disappoint us! We saw the family of cheetahs twice as well as lots of other animals and they were amazing. Well done Kyle. The meals were very tasty, well prepared and presented. Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.

Lett å anbefale :-)
Veldig hyggelig og veldrevet lodge. Totalt 8 bungalower av meget god standard med usjenert terrasse mot naturen. God mat, og flotte safari-turer med kunnskapsrik guide. Vi så Big Five og mange flere dyr. Kun gjester fra denne lodgen som gjør safarier i området, hvilket betyr at man ikke føler at det mer turister enn dyr...Eneste negative er at det er 4-5 timers kjøring fra Durban.
