Woodbury Lodge was just great! We were so thankful that there was air conditioning in our rooms, because the temperature was over 100 degrees one of the days we were there....but our room was comfortable, and the pool was cool. But - what really made our visit there so wonderful was the staff and the many animals. Our driver, Lenny, was SO knowledgeable and so good at knowing where to look for the animals - and at maneuvering the crater-filled roads. We were exceptionally fortunate that the lion pride had decided to come to the Woodbury section of Amakhala, that the entire rhino group showed up at the water hole by the camp, and that we found the 3 cheetahs before and after their kill. Amazing sunsets & sunrises. The trail up to our room was a little dicey for my husband, who uses a cane - but he managed. We definitely recommend Woodbury Lodge.

Funny reviewing this place randomly popped into my email. I stayed here on a trip to South Africa in November of 2019. Staff was great and the food they served was unique and delicious. Had a wonderful stay here and hopefully in the future we can come again. View from lodge overlooking the Amakhala Game Reserve was wonderful, air was fresh and you could here the elephants trumpet randomly during the day. The daily safari's were well guided and you truly see some wonderful things (and creatures). As someone who suffered a stroke the year before and has a hard time dealing with stress I found my stay here welcome and stress free and left many memories I enjoy sharing with others!

Incredible place, awesome staff and awesome Game reserve. The food was incredible and the staff so friendly, we really felt spoilt. The accommodation was amazing and could not have asked for a better place to break away and relax. Definitely on my list to go back.

This was a great experience. The rooms were so beautiful and private. Great showers and bathrooms. But most of all the Safari experience was fabulous. Seeing the animals close up was so memorable. The guide was so knowledgeable and fun to be with. The group meals were enjoyable and such a nice touch as we met people from all over the world. We also liked that the lodge was small and intimate and we felt we got great personal service. Great lifelong memory.

We stayed here for three nights and did 6 safari trips. Unfortunately the weather was not great for most of the time - light rain and quite cold - which made a couple of morning trips not so great. However, we did still see lots of animals during these trips. On the better days, we saw almost everything except lions and cheetahs, though others did see them that day. The guide was excellent - safe, informative and knowledgeable. The staff were all wonderful and our room was certainly in the luxury category given the circumstances. The food selection was limited but excellent quality and the kitchen did manage a few off-menu meals for us. The drinks were freely available and top quality. The group seating for meals made for a very sociable occasion. Really enjoyed our time here, but be prepared for early starts.

Wir haben zwei Nächte in der Woodbury Lodge verbracht. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet. Leider muss man sich erstmal an die vielen spinnen gewöhnen. Das Essen ist im Vergleich zu anderen Lodges eher durchschnittlich. Auch der Service ist eher unaufmerksam und langsam. Die Safari Touren mit Lenny waren sehr schön.

Recently stayed at Woodbury Lodge & honestly can’t recommend enough. The staff were exceptional - extremely accommodating & went above & beyond to make our trip memorable. Our expert rangers were fantastic (Nico & Donovan). Attentive, knowledgeable & personable which added to the overall experience.
The lodge was well presented & always clean. The food…delicious & filling (even for someone with special dietary requirements)
Let’s not forget the safari outings & bushwalk! Mind blowing! We saw all of the Big 5 animals & thanks to our rangers, more than I expected!
Thanks all for making our trip to SA so special!

This is our second stay at the lodge, and it did not disappoint. Amazing, small lodge that is nestled into the hill. Very private rooms, all with fantastic views. All meals are eaten around a big table with the other guests that creates a very lovely vibe in the lodge. The game drives are incredible, our guide Rob went out of his way to show us the beauty of the reserve. We love this place!

We had a 3 night stay in Fox Eagle lodge and what an experience this was. Check in was easy and we had everything explained to us. Our room was really nice and had a huge four poster bed, plenty of room. The bathroom was very big with her/his sinks along with a shower and large bath that looked over the reserve. It has an outside patio area that was very comfortable with stunning views. The dining area was both inside and outside. We found all meals to be delicious and plentiful. My wife had her birthday whilst we were there and she received a nice bottle of fizz and a cake courtesy of the Lodge. It is all inclusive and the bar area is self service with a large selection of drinks. There is a couple of pools and the pool area is very comfortable. There are 2 safari drives a day and we had the good fortune to have Lenny as our Ranger. He was a friendly, knowledgeable guide and good fun to have. The drives themselves were a wonderful experience. We saw all the animals promised, extremely close up. It was our first safari and I have to say this exceeded even our most optimistic expectations. A wonderful stay that we will never ever forget.
