The rooms are decorated with local tribal basketwork and the changing moods of the day are allowed to become an integral part of the décor. Relaxation at Amakhosi Lodge can be as simple or as grand as you desire: enjoy a picnic in the veld, sundowners by the river or relax by the pool until you hear the beat of an African drum calling you for dinner.
