About Leeuwenbosch Country House Amakhala Game Reserve
Leeuwenbosch Country House, an eight-bed historic home built in 1908, embodies the rich history of the South African Eastern Cape Frontier. Located within the renowned Amakhala Game Reserve, this gracious settler home of the Fowlds family is nestled amidst expansive gardens.
Leeuwenbosch offers spacious accommodations in four en-suite bedrooms, each adorned with antiques and historical paintings. Guests can enjoy delicious cuisine and a wide range of game-viewing activities, including guided drives, walks, and river cruises, led by expert professional guides.
After morning coffee or afternoon high tea, knowledgeable guides escort guests through the scenic Amakhala Game Reserve, showcasing its diverse wildlife, from elephants and rhinos to lions and springboks.
Between activities, guests can relax in the 19th-century stone chapel, enjoy high tea on the veranda, or unwind in the cozy stone-walled cellar bar. The Fowlds family, who have owned the homestead for five generations, delight in sharing their remarkable Southern African heritage with visitors.

A must stay!!
Wonderful country house, delicious food, great caring staff. Safari drives were amazing, saw the 'big five' on our first day. Thoroughly recommended!
Verified traveler
Great hospitality and first class game drives
We had a great 3 nights in Leewenbosch. It is a family run business with a real personal feel. The staff are lovely and very much wanting to make your stay positive. The game drives are to the private Amakarla Game reserve. We saw almost all of the big five and had great fun. We met some wonderful people who were also staying. Bring very warm clothing as the game drives are cold. Drivers do provide blankets and poncho's for any rain, but you need jumpers also. The food was perfectly adequate. It is a 3 star guest house which is reflected in the food however the family and service and game drives I would rate as 4/5 star. You have the same game drives at Leewenbosch as you do at other lodges using Amakarla which are 4 and 5 star. The rangers all share their knowledge and sightings so all get to see the animals. The family and rangers are very pro conservation of the animals and pro animal care in their natural environment, which we loved. There was a baby rhino born whilst we were out there, however the rangers did not attempt to find it in order to give mother and baby space and time alone. We found this refreshing. We would definitely consider returning.
Frank
Too expensive for the value. The roof is not tight when it rains.

Familiäre Lodge mit tollen Game Drives
Die Unterkunft war so wie beschrieben und auf den Bildern zu sehen. Pro Übernachtung gibt es einen Game Drive von je 3 Stunden nachmittags und morgens. Rogan war ein toller, engagierter Fahrer und Guide, auch wenn es nur Big 4 statt 5 waren, war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.
