Amakhosi Lodge
Pongola
Safari/Game Lodge
(8
rooms)
Situated past Pongola on the road to Nongoma, where King Goodwill Zwelethini has his palaces, Amakhosi Safari Lodge gives majestic new meaning to a royal bush experience and welcome.
Relax in your suite or in a rock-fringed lodge swimming pool and watch the flash of the Lilacbreasted Roller or Malachite Kingfisher, but when darkness falls, listen for the roar of the lions.
Where flavours offer a combination of an African fusion style with European flair. Brunch is a buffet style comprising a hot and cold smorgasbord, with only the freshest of ingredients. High tea is traditionally served on the veranda with platter after platter boasting vegetable wraps, chicken kebabs, mini pancakes with salmon and caviar, pâtés, quiches, chocolate and mini cheesecakes. Dinner is an elegant candle-lit, multi-course menu accompanied by free-flowing South African wines, alternatively (weather permitting), dinner may also be enjoyed in the open-air boma under the stars.
Personal attention rules, from the warm hand-towels, sherry and smiles that greet guests, to the plush comfort of the six palatial thatched chalets and two Umntwana Honeymoon Suites strung along the Mkuze River. Each is angled for the ultimate privacy and has a separate lounge, a seductive step-up double bath with candles, and a bedroom opening onto a viewing deck overlooking the river, some set with a personal plunge pool.
This is Big 5 territory and what you don’t view from your deck, expert guides invariably will deliver on dawn and dusk game drives. Conversation around the fire each night is of close encounters with lionesses and playful cubs, sandbathing elephants and streaking cheetah. But equally engrossing are the adventurous guide’s encounters with smaller creatures, from delicate bark spiders to glossy dung beetles; and anecdotes about the trees and medicinal plants of the reserve.
