Five Star Safari Stay

Big 5 | Malaria Free Destination

Bukela Game Lodge is an unfenced, romantic 5-star lodge in the Amakhala Game Reserve, Addo Eastern Cape, South Africa. Accommodation at this tranquil luxury game lodge is provided in luxury suites and safari tents, each individually styled in African simplicity while never compromising on luxury.

This secluded safari destination, with two sparkling pools and an active waterhole, is tucked away into indigenous trees and bushes at the top of a hidden river valley. Connected by a wooden walkway, our four thatched suites and ten luxury safari tents offer a remarkable private wildlife -viewing experience. Indulge in sumptuous lunches and private candlelit dinners and as you drift off to sleep, hear the silence broken by the unmistakable sounds of elephant and buffalo making their stately progress through the unfenced camp.

We offer morning, afternoon and evening Game Drives under the guidance of qualified rangers. It’s our privilege to create moments like these, and to share them with you.

Our lodge may also be booked exclusively as a restful and beautiful venue for small team-building, conferences and weddings.
