The Safari Lodge is secretly hidden up a kloof in the indigenous Valley Bushveld. African tribal design has inspired the creation of this intimate thatched lodge and its unique safari huts, which offer all of the creature comforts of a graded five star lodge. Soak in a luxurious double bath or splash off the dust in an outdoor shower before sharing your day's adventures around the fireside under a canopy of stars. On a recommended three day safari, experience game drives on both Amakhala and nearby Addo Elephant National Park, a guided walk and a visit to the neighboring Born Free Foundation.

About 63km from Port Elizabeth on the N2 to Grahamstown you will see the large road sign-Amakhala Safari Lodge/Shamwari/Paterson, on your left. Turn onto the gravel road (R342). Travel fro approximately 2 km on befroe you find the Safari Lodge entrance on the left hand side. This entrance is just opposite the Shamwari entrance. The entrance has terracotta styled gates, with a thatched ethnic style roof over it.
