Woodbury Lodge sits within the Amakhala Reserve, known for its Big Five sightings and malaria-free safaris. The lodge is comfortable rather than fancy, with stone chalets, private decks and sweeping bush views. Meals are served communally, and the team is friendly and experienced. There’s a small pool, a fireplace and a no-pressure feel that suits families and first-time safari-goers perfectly. It’s well priced, well located and consistently well reviewed.
