Canvas Tents with Views

The en suite canvas tents at Woodbury Tented Camp feature a private patio overlooking the valley and the ancient floodplain of the Bushmans River. Each tent includes a built-in shower with hot running water, electricity, air conditioning, electric blankets, and a coffee machine. The tents are cleaned twice daily with turn-down service, and toiletries are provided.

All-Inclusive Meals and Drinks

All meals and drinks are included in the rates. Breakfast is served family-style after the morning game drive, and three-course dinners are held at a communal long table in the thatched entertainment area. Guests can enjoy hot chocolate with Amarula by the camp fire after the evening drive. Special diet menus are accommodated, and lunch is also provided.

Game Drives and Pools

Two game drives per night are included, led by knowledgeable rangers such as Greg, Jesse, JP, or Lenny. The drives focus on wildlife like lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo, with respect for animal space. Between drives, guests can use two outdoor pools with sun loungers, a pool with a view, and pool/beach towels. Board games and an outdoor fireplace are also available.

On the Amakhala Reserve

The camp is located in the heart of the Amakhala Game Reserve, overlooking the Bushmans River floodplain. Grahamstown is 45 km away, and Port Elizabeth Airport is 80 km away. Guests can see wildlife from the dining deck and pools. The reserve is not completely remote, with a highway crossing and farms visible in the distance.

Services and Transfers

The camp offers airport shuttle service (for a fee), daily housekeeping, laundry, luggage storage, private check-in/check-out, and a shared lounge/TV area. Safety deposit boxes are available, and there is 24-hour security with CCTV. The staff assist with any needs, such as repairing a broken suitcase handle or handling dietary requirements. Free parking and Wi-Fi are included.

“At Woodbury Tented Camp, the wild feels remarkably close; the comfortable tents open onto the reserve, offering moments of surprising intimacy with nature. Delicious meals are shared, fostering a communal warmth, while knowledgeable guides lead explorations that reveal the secrets of the bush.”
