Amakhala Game Reserve


Hlosi Game Lodge Location Map

Hlosi Game Lodge invites you to share understated luxury, to warm to true African hospitality, and find a restful intimacy in the Eastern Cape bushveld. Elephant herds line the horizon and cheetah settle silently in the long grass.

Situated in the 8,500 hectare Amakhala Game Reserve, and encompassing some of the most breathtaking scenery and ecosystems in the region, the reserve is divided by the N2 main highway.  An abundance of game species roam the reserve including lion, elephant, cheetah, buffalo, zebra, giraffe and rhino.

A visit to a private game reserve can rank as one of life's most defining moments, and Hlosi Game Lodge endeavors to do just that.  Guests can enjoy morning and evening safaris in open 4x4 Land Rovers (with a spotlight after dark), or choose to do a full day out in the bush, stopping for a picnic lunch, canoe trip on the Bushmans River for wonderful birding (subject to river levels), a guided walk, or even tracking some of the larger species in the reserve.

With only 6 suites and 8 luxury tents the lodge creates an intimate, personal game-viewing experience for guests.  Watch breathlessly from the privacy of your own viewing deck or luxurious deep-soaking tub at the array of wildlife and bird life from a safe and comfortable distance. The lodge is also perfect for families with small children - the Family Suites have 2 bedrooms, both en-suite, which open onto a central lounge area with outside deck and an indoor kitchenette with a microwave and small fridge, and the Family Tents have 2 bedrooms with one family bathroom, and 3 viewing decks.

The main lodge includes elegant lounge and dining areas, and a splendid bar overlooking the swimming pool and waterhole.
