Accommodations & Views
Situated in the Amakhala Game Reserve on the banks of Bushman's River, HillsNek Safari Camp offers four spacious luxury tents. Each tent includes a private bathroom, an outdoor shower, and a large deck overlooking the plains. The interiors feature wooden furniture, a fan, and tea-and-coffee-making facilities. The beds are huge and comfortable, with electric blankets on cooler nights.
Dining & Meals
All meals are included, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by the camp's chefs. Guests can choose from a set menu or enjoy a braai under the stars. The bar serves drinks in the main lodge, and packed lunches are available for game drives. Special diets, including gluten-free, are accommodated.
Activities & Game Drives
The camp includes an outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers and views of the reserve. Daily game drives in open-air vehicles cover the Amakhala Game Reserve, with rangers like Ebin, Nikki, or Tim leading sightings of the Big Five (lion, cheetah, elephant, rhino, giraffe). Additional activities include walking safaris and night drives.
Location & Access
The lodge is 70 kilometres from Port Elizabeth in a malaria-free area. Guests can arrange airport transfers from Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport, a one-hour drive away. The surrounding area features warm-water beaches and water sports.
Services & Amenities
The 24-hour front desk offers concierge services, luggage storage, and a tour desk. Room service is available, along with babysitting for children. The camp provides free Wi-Fi, free parking, and shuttle services. Safety deposit boxes, fire extinguishers, and 24-hour security are on-site.
“The intimate scale of this lodge, with its few luxury tents, fosters a sense of personal exclusivity, allowing for moments of genuine quietude and connection with the wild. Days unfold with expertly guided game drives, revealing the reserve's inhabitants with insightful commentary, followed by thoughtfully prepared meals served at individual tables, a welcome touch that enhances the feeling of personal attention. The outdoor showers alone are a revelation, a truly invigorating element to an already exceptional safari experience.”
