伍德伯裡帳篷營地旅館(Woodbury Tented Camp – Amakhala Game Reserve)

We sliepen in een tent op stijgers in de bushbush met een uitgestrekt uitzicht over het gebied. ‘s Nachts hoorde je allerlei dierengeluiden. Werkelijk fantastisch! De gamedrives met onze ranger Jessie waren boven verwachting. In totaal 12 uur die geen minuut verveeld hebben. We hebben zelfs de big 5 gespot! Na de gamedrives in de ochtend schoven we aan voor het ontbijt op het terras, waarbij we zelfs een keer werden verrast met een bezoek van een olifant. Goedemorgen! Daarnaast zijn er twee zwembaden om in de middag even bij te relaxen en is er een gezellig kampvuur waar we s’avonds na onze gamedrive werden verwelkomd met een Amarula (Zuid-Afrikaanse drankje). Ook leuk dat er verschillende bezoekers waren van allerlei nationaliteiten om deze once in a life time ervaringen mee te delen.

Obwohl ich sehr reiseerfahren bin: Ich habe noch nie eine Bewertung abgegeben. Doch diesmal ist es mir ein Bedürfnis: es war fantastisch. Guide Greg hat sich ein Bein ausgerissen, um den Interessen der Gäste gerecht zu werden. Toll!! Danke! Sehr leckeres Essen, ganz liebes Personal-wir hatten ein kleines Problem und es wurde sich wirklich vorbildlich gekümmert -. Sehr sehr schöne Unterkunft, sehr sauber und komfortabel. Es fehlte an NICHTS! Hoffentlich macht Ihr weiter so. Ganz herzliche Grüße und nochmal Danke an das gesamte Team für die schönen Tage!

Twee dagen op het Woodbury tented camp maakte onze Afrika experience hélemaal compleet. Twee keer per dag, om 5:30u en 16:00 uur, drie uur op safari. Tussendoor heb je vanaf het zwembad zicht op de savanne. Drie keer per dag wordt er heerlijk eten verzorgd aan lange tafwls. Het personeel weet wat gastvrijheid is. Aan de kleinste details wordt aandacht besteed. De bedden in de tent slapen héérlijk. De sterrenhemel is de mooiste die ik ooit heb gezien!

Super geführtes Camp. Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Schöne Aussicht aufs Reservat. Bei uns kamen Elefanten, Wasserbock, Affen und Nasserschweine ans Wasserloch unter dem Restaurant. Rob unser Ranger war absolut Top. Immer gut gelaunt und notiviert, total begeistert von seinem Reservat. Als gewiefter Fährtenleser findet er all seine Tiere und er bringt sein Wissen sehr gut unter seine Gäste Essen und Getränke sehr gut. Natürlich werden die Zelte tagsüber zu heiss um sich in ihren tagsüber aufzuhalten

Where to start? Our first safari experience and it was everything we wished for and more. A truly immersive, authentic and fabulous experience. The tents are big with a comfy bed and an en suite shower and toilet. In October it was still rainy and cold but we were perfectly comfortable - electric blankets were switched on in the turn down service and only the wind kept us from a full night's sleep. Didn't matter though as this place cares about giving you a good safari and all the animals were seen (except the elusive leopard). Our guide for 3 days was Nico and he suited us just fine. He was funny and caring and genuine as well as very knowledgeable. You meet other guests and spend all your meals with them as well as drinks around the campfire. You truly feel part of the Woodbury family and all the staff are friendly and great at their jobs. We were there for the Rugby WC final and lovely Nico gave up his night to drive us to the rangers' club on the reserve to watch it on the big screen. And he wasn't the only one - 16 of us went. It has two lovely pools, excellent food and is fully all inclusive with drinks available all day. If you want have a heartwarming experience, look no further and book this place. You will have no regrets.

The best holiday experience I have ever had. Excellent friendly service from the staff. Great food prepared with love. Comfortable safari tents with private viewing decks. Twice daily game drives in the incredibly beautiful Amakhala Game Reserve with the opportunity to view the big 5 (though leopards are rarely seen) and a great variety of antelope and birds. Cheetah are often seen. In September my experience was made even better by the spring flowers and aloes in bloom. I need to specially mention the excellent guiding by Rob and Nico. Highly recommended also for single travelers.

Our stay at the tented camp was by far the highlight of our trip in SA. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful and the staff were very welcoming. We are glad we stayed 4 nights to make the most of this experience, we saw the big 5 and more, they also offer horseback trail rides which was a particular highlight! We went in winter so remember to wrap up for the game drives but the electric blankets at night worked a treat for this time of year.

A brilliant experience from start to finish. The staff were amazingly friendly, the meals generous and tasty, and the game viewing ticked all the boxes for us. I can highly recommend a stay at Woodbury tented camp!

What a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived to welcome drinks, until our final breakfast after our final early morning safari. The accommodation was incredibly comfortable and private, we had Tent 10 with the Waiter's tent alongside where my adult son slept. We stayed for two nights and did all four safaris, our ranger, Tim, was incredibly knowledgeable and we were so grateful to have seen so much wildlife over the four safaris. The weather wasn't brilliant for a lot of our stay but even an early morning safari in the rain was an experience worth having. The food was really tasty, as a vegetarian it was great that they were so creative with my meals and the rest of my family really enjoyed their meals too. All the drinks were complimentary, as much tea, coffee, soft drinks or alcohol as you wanted. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and helped make the stay so memorable. Little touches like the Amarula and hot chocolate after the evening safari were perfect. There were two pools available but the weather wasn't really on our side so we didn't really get to use them. I would highly recommend the Woodbury Tented Camp for your safari experience, it was awesome!
