Fantastic safari experience

Fantastic camp. The only thing I can complain about is the lunch and dinner. I would appreciate more African food. It was not so much taste and mediocre. We have experienced so much good food on the our trip so we had high expectations on the food here as well.

Wir waren mit der Unterkunft rundum zufrieden. Auf der einen Seite hat man das "Camp"‐Feeling und trotzdem sind die Zelte super ausgestattet und ordentlich. Jedes Zelt hat sein eigenes Badezimmer und eine kleine Terrasse mit einem wunderschönen Ausblick. Das Essen war lecker und das Personal sehr freundlich. Auch die Safari Touren haben gehalten was sie versprechen. Als wir Mittags am Pool gelegen sind, ist sogar eine Elefanten Herde ganz entspannt an uns vorbei gelaufen. Alles in allem also ein rundum perfekter Aufenthalt,den wir jedem nur empfehlen können.

Amakhala Safari

Well organised camp with very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Food was great. The tents are comfortable and ours had a great view of the reserve. The main lodge is really comfortable and cosy with an outdoor deck for warm weather and an open fire inside for colder weather. Food, drink plus two game drives a day included. Very good value for money and I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely small game lodge

Woodbury tented camp is a small lodge. The tents, which are very nice, make it very different to staying in a hotel room. The food served was simple but well prepared and very nice. You get get two game drives a day and we managed to see lions, elephants, white rhino, giraffes and may other species. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped to make the overall experience very enjoyable

Overall, a unique experience with great views from the central deck area. Food was good and tasty, but not fine dining. The tent was as expected, but the view from our tent was slightly disappointing comprising a wire fence and scrub. Also our tent was on a higher elevation than most others which meant it was easily disturbed by the high winds. I do realise the weather is not something that the property can control!

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt...

Das Woodbury Tented Camp hat ca. 10 Zelte, einen kleineren Pool (ein weiterer, größerer Pool wird gerade gebaut), einen kleineren überdachten Grillplatz und ein grösseres Versammlungsgebäude, in dem es Frühstück, Mittag und Abendessen gibt (alles inklusive). Die Zelte selbst sind zweckmässig eingerichtet: Ein großes Doppelbett, eine kleine Bank und zwei kleine Nachttische. Die Betten verfügen über eine einstellbare Heizdecke, falls es einem nachts zu kalt wird. Dusche und Toilette sind in einem Nebenraum im Zelt untergebracht, abgetrennt von einer "Reissverschlusstüre". Draussen vor dem Zelt hat man eine relativ große Veranda, auf der zwei Stühle stehen. Hier kann man den Abend geniessen und über die weite Landschaft blicken. Pro Übernachtung gibt es 2 sogenannte Game Drives: einen nachmittags um 17:00, den anderen morgens um 05:30 (!). Diese dauern zwischen 2,5 und 3h. Am Ankunftstag wird man einem Guide zugewiesen, der einen für den weiteren Aufenthalt bei den Game Drives begleitet. Die Game Drives selber sind wirklich sehr schön und atemberaubend. Man weiss halt nie, was man zu sehen bekommt. Das Reserve ist sehr weitläufig. Hin und wieder begegnet man einem anderen Jeep, aber es ist nicht so, dass sich hier die Jeeps um die Tiere "knubbeln". Da wird im Park auch explizit darauf geachtet, was uns sehr gefallen hat. Alles in allem hatten wir einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We very much lked the Game Drives. Everything about them was totally Ace. Our guide knew where to look for the animals and he was constantly listening to reports from other guides (there were about 6 guided tours going on at the time) which made the whole experience so special. We spotted a cheetah at one point, and our guide reported it so everyone else could experience it. We saw fantastic hers of Elephants, Lions, Rhino, hippos Giraffe, loads of zebra and Antelope and many other animals and birds. Our tent was very luxurious, complete with a big en-suite bathroom with loads of hot water, a super king bed complete with Electric Blankets (we instantly turned them off), tea and coffee and a balcony overlooking the game reserve. Only things that we could moan at were the early start (0530) and the food, which although good was not exceptional. We would go back.

We choose this tent experience over a lodge and it was an excellent choice. To be in the environment/wild but have first class facilities was amazing. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff, the terrace for eating breakfast, lunch with fantastic views was a pleasure. Communal living but with privacy allows you to share your day. The staff from reception to guides were outstanding, friendly polite and very knowledgable.

The place is absolutely wonderful. I loved staying at tented camps because they are usually inside the nature. In Woodbury there are 10 tents, but from your own tent you see or hear none of them. You are alone and have a beautiful view. You share the time with the other people staying there though as meals are served on a shared long table, which I like a lot. All services are amaizing and they are very well organised, from the check in, through thr safaris and the food.

Unbedingt machen!

Alles war perfekt. Bei der Ankunft erhält man einen kleinen Apero und dann gibt es direkt das Mittagessen. Anschliessend geht man auf eine dreistündige Safari im wunderschönen Park. Wir haben die Big 5 alle gesehen, was aber nicht selbstverständlich ist. Die Zelte sind topmodern eingerichtet, mit Heizdecke und Ventilator. Am besten bleibt man wohl 2 Nächte.

Fantastic experience

This is tented accommodation and we stayed in tent 4 which was on -suite and very comfortable and they supply a turn down service where they put on the electric blanket and place chocolates on your pillow- not bad for a tent! The whole experience was fantastic from the moment we arrived until we had to leave and the wildlife is relevant to the parks size and we saw 4 of the big 5 and only didn't see lions as it had been raining which they don't like, It is fully all inclusive and the food and drink is very good you even have a sun downer out on safari. There is electricity in all the tents and Wi-Fi in the main area of the camp . We would highly recommend this glamping experience
