AmaKhosi, translated from Zulu means "The Place of the Kings" and offers attentive 5 star service and absolute luxury in the dramatic surroundings of Zululand that bear testimony with the renowned Mkuze River.

The Amazulu Private Game Reserve is made up of a varied ecosystem, which makes it the ideal home to the "Big Five" as well as giraffe, warthog and hyena not to mention over 15 different antelope species, hippopotamus and crocodile. Offering no less than 400 bird species, this is a place of paradise and comfort.

Early morning and late afternoon guided walks and game drives lead you into the African bush to observe the animals and their fascinating behavior.

The abundance of flora and fauna always reveal something interesting, both on the ground and in the air.

For those who prefer to relax at camp, there is a library, swimming pool, game viewing deck and an outdoor lounge overlooking the flowing Mkuze River.

Riverbanks are home to the main lodge with the magnificent regal River Suites offering special views of the flowing Mkuze River. Each suite boasts separate air-conditioned bedroom and lounge with fully stocked mini bar and tea/coffee facilities.

Guests can slip into an African dreamland with high thatched ceilings and glass walls reaching for the open African sky. The en-suite bathroom with a unique bath made for two is decorated with an array of candles and bath salts allowing decadence to take on a whole new meaning and bringing tranquillity and serenity to your beautiful suite - fit for a king.

The local Zulu community is an important anchor for AmaKhosi and its staff members as it has provided the inspiration behind the design and décor of the lodge and, in keeping with the African style, the Zulu Kraal as part of the lodge offers Zulu dancers as entertainment to guests.
