- "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."

- "Lovely place to stay! The owners are very friendly. The room was beautiful and I had the cutest little gecko visit me. Highly recommend. Thanks Angie" - "We had reservations for three nights but we had such a good time we wish we could’ve stayed longer. The owners were terrific! Rose was so great at organizing things for us and having great ideas for each day and night. Her meals were terrific and both Rose and Mike enjoyed cooking and having good conversations about the area and knowledgeable about everything. There are several great nature reserves surrounding the area and they will arrange nature drives or if you like to go out and explore on your own they will direct you to the reserves that allow you to do that. The best thing is that the lodge is comfortable and the rooms are excellent that you can just relax and do nothing but watch the wildlife and birds while you enjoy excellent food, drink of choice, and walk around the lodge area OR even have an excellent massage in your room. GREAT Job, Rose and Mike....Thank you! From Carol and Mike"
