Price was good


We stayed at the lodge as a group of 5. The accommodation was fairly basic and the food was quite average. The site did feel secure and we and if you are using it as a base for your travels in the area then I can definitely recommend it. The price was good and it's only 5-10 minutes from the main gate and you can get a hire car there easier than some of the other game lodges in Balule.

Just what we were looking for


We wanted a tranquil, comfortable place to stay, without the pressure of game drives etc.. Amukela was just the place. Corne and Miriam were great hosts and we had a breakaway that matched our expectations.
