Overview

Few experiences compare to the excitement of sleeping under canvas, immersing yourself in a true family adventure…

Nestled in lush indigenous surroundings, HillsNek Safari Camp presents a Family Tent situated on expansive wrap-around wooden decks, offering breathtaking panoramic views. This tented abode is seamlessly connected to the main lodge via elevated wooden walkways and features an en-suite bathroom along with an outdoor shower.

Adjacent to the main tented bedroom, you’ll find an inter-leading smaller room furnished with two twin beds, providing comfortable accommodation for a family of four. With the canvas blinds raised, guests can savor the beauty of nature from the snug confines of their bed or while indulging in a luxurious bubble bath.

Safari Game Drive

We are passionate about sharing our knowledge of the bush and its incredible wildlife with our guests. At HillsNek, guests can enjoy a diverse and flexible safari experience led by a team of highly qualified and knowledgeable rangers. They share a fascinating wealth of information about the diverse wildlife that inhabit the reserve. Included in your stay are morning and evening game drives leaving from your lodge. You will be guided by informative, professional rangers through Amakhala Game Reserve in open Land Rovers. Here you can return to nature and explore the abundant wildlife, the diverse vegetation and the dramatic landscape of the Eastern Cape. Guided by our knowledgeable rangers, you’ll delve into the bush, tracking the Big Five and an array of other wildlife. The morning drives kick off as the first light of dawn breaks, offering a glimpse into the world of predators concluding their nocturnal pursuits and settling in for the day. During these cooler morning hours, many animals take the opportunity to graze before the day’s heat sets in. In the late afternoon, it’s not uncommon to spot wildlife making their way down to the river for a drink. Night drives often produce some unique sightings, including the elusive aardvark, aardwolf, bushpig, and porcupine.
