Amazing stay at Amakhosi

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Amakhosi Safari Lodge!
The honeymoon suite was well appointed. The candlelight bath and petals were magic. Our only disappointment was that the pool on our decking wasn't heated. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The spa treatments outstanding. We were hoping to see Cheetahs and our excellent, very knowledgeable and humorous guide did not disappoint us! We saw the family of cheetahs twice as well as lots of other animals and they were amazing. Well done Kyle.
The meals were very tasty, well prepared and presented.
Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.
