Bukela Game Lodge, a luxurious haven in the malaria-free Amakhala Game Reserve, offers an intimate safari escape. Tucked among indigenous trees, it blends African simplicity with refined elegance.
Accommodation includes four exquisitely styled suites and ten luxury safari tents, each connected by wooden walkways and designed with air-conditioning, fireplaces, and private decks featuring outdoor seating and showers. The sun-soaked spa baths, opening onto trees vibrant with birdsong, provide a serene retreat, while the lodge's setting in a hidden valley ensures unparalleled wildlife views, with elephants and buffalo roaming freely through the unfenced camp.
All-inclusive dining elevates the experience, with sumptuous high teas, private candlelit dinners, or vibrant fireside boma dinners under a starlit African sky. The onsite bar serves refreshing drinks, perfect for unwinding after thrilling wildlife encounters. Two daily game drives, included in the rates, offer immersive explorations of the 7,500-hectare reserve, showcasing its rich biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes.
The lodge's outdoor swimming pool and panoramic views of the African bush create a tranquil ambiance for relaxation. Located 55 km from Addo Elephant Park, 60 km from Grahamstown, and 90 km from Port Elizabeth Airport in Forest Hill, Bukela Game Lodge delivers a seamless blend of romantic seclusion and luxurious safari adventure in South Africa's Eastern Cape.
