Woodbury Lodge Amakhala Game Reserve Four star rated Woodbury Lodge is spectacularly set against a cliff above the Bushmans River valley in the malaria free area of the Amakhala Game Reserve.

Four star rated Woodbury Lodge is spectacularly set against a cliff above the Bushmans River valley in the malaria free area of the Amahkala Game Reserve. One can see the many aloes growing up on the cliff as well as around the lodge. "Amakhala" - the isixhosa name for "place of many aloes" justifies the immense beauty of such a plant. Woodbury Lodge offers an intimate and tranquil experience of the Eastern Cape riverine bushveld along with diverse fauna and flora. It is also home to the Big 5 and many bird, mammal and antelope species. It is the ideal place for families to relax and enjoy the bush together. Guests are often thrilled by the late afternoon sighting of the elephant herd passing by. Our six Lodges all have private decks and large bathrooms with a view over the plains and provide accommodation for up to 12 people. The 3 main aspects of any African safari are the game-viewing, the accommodation and the food - at Woodbury Lodge we take special care to ensure that heartfelt service combines with these three “ingredients” to make your African safari experience a memorable and enjoyable one.

Crowned hornbills are amongst the most memorable of the birdlife found around Woodbury Lodge. Tucked into the hillside overlooking the Bushman’s River valley, time spent at the Woodbury Lodge keeps you immersed in the wild long after your game drive ends.

Catching a glimpse of a lion cub’s early outings beyond the den site is a rare privilege. Guide Rob was fortunate to capture this quiet milestone as mother and cub made a rare, unhurried appearance together.

Guests arriving at the Woodbury Collection over the coming months may be lucky enough to share in a glimpse of this cub’s journey as it grows.

What an incredible sighting of elephants right in front of the lodge. 🐘

The adults paused for a moment, creating a calm circle of protection, while the youngsters took full advantage of the break — tumbling, chasing and throwing sand over themselves in pure joy.

Moments like these remind us that even the giants of the bush know how to slow down and let the little ones simply be young.

A special moment for some of our recent guests—time spent with our resident female cheetah and her cubs. The youngsters are growing fast, gaining strength, speed, and curiosity every single day 🐆
