You will find this privately owned Lodge situated on the banks of the Mkuze River in the northern part of KwaZulu-Natal. Mountain grasslands, wetlands and valley bushlands are unfenced, allowing the game full freedom.

The riverfront setting of the main building and chalets, all with raised timber decks, provides a platform from which to observe game. The main building has a spacious lounge, bar and dining area. Relax in regal style on the covered terrace, by the swimming pool or in the library, always in sight of the action at the water. This lodge was conceived as a declaration of privacy.

Relaxation at Amakhosi Lodge can be as simple or as grand as you desire, with tailor made activities for the convenience of guests. Enjoy picnics in the veld, or sundowners when the day becomes mellow. In the evenings, guests are treated to other variants of the African rhythm. Some nights Zulu dances provide live entertainment.

The luxury chalets, each with a private terrace, have been sensitively designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape. Each air-conditioned chalet accommodates two adults and comprises a bedroom, lounge, en-suite bathroom with separate shower room and second toilet. All luxury amenities are included. As an option, the lounge can easily be transformed into a second bedroom. Each chalet is independent and secluded so that no other human presence is evident. There is a strong emphasis on indoor and outdoor lifestyle. Communal spaces such as the pool area provides a shaded haven. The architectural style is a discreet balance of the sublime and the earthy. The changing moods of the day are allowed to become an integral part of the decor. Early morning, the reed blinds appear transparent when sunlight filters through, bringing the gradual awakening of the bush into the peaceful bedroom ambience.
