Amakhala Woodbury Tented Camp

Discover a hidden jewel within the spectacular Amakhala Game Reserve: Amakhala Woodbury Tented Camp. This intimate bush camp is a testament to family legacy, owned and operated by the Gush family, who have called this land home for five generations. Their deep connection to the area is reflected in the warm hospitality of the staff, many of whom grew up locally and are passionate about creating unforgettable African safari experiences for every guest.

Secluded Comfort Amidst Nature's Beauty

Nestled within a secluded hillside thicket, Amakhala Woodbury Tented Camp offers a tranquil escape overlooking the ancient floodplain of the Bushman's River. This idyllic setting provides a rare intimacy with nature, allowing guests to truly connect with the surrounding wilderness.

Accommodation: Comfortable Tents with Private Decks

Ten comfortable en-suite tents, each perched on a raised base, provide private sanctuaries for guests. Each tent boasts its own private deck, perfect for enjoying the serenity of the bush and spotting wildlife. Inside, guests will find hot running water, the flexibility of king-size or twin beds, and electric blankets for added comfort on cooler evenings. Families can enjoy the shared experience of the African bush in two connecting family tents, linked by a balcony.

Experiences: Game Drives and Bushveld Relaxation

Daily game drives, led by friendly and professional guides, offer thrilling opportunities for Big Five game viewing and memorable sundowner experiences in the heart of the bush. Back at camp, life revolves around the central thatch-and-canvas dining and lounge area, which features a spacious deck overlooking the vast Woodbury plains. From this vantage point, guests can often observe a variety of game species, including zebra, giraffe, buffalo, and elephant, while the evocative cry of fish eagles resonates across the valley. The camp's relaxed atmosphere encourages guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the African bush.
