Induli Lodge

Induli, an isiXhosa word meaning hilltop, is a hidden gem on the expansive 22,000-acre Amakhala Game Reserve in South Africa’s malaria-free Eastern Cape. This exceptional destination provides an unforgettable safari experience, with each stay carefully curated to leave lasting memories of a dream African adventure. The suites, crafted from stone and thatch, blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, featuring earthy tones and ample natural light that invite the outdoors in, creating a spacious and open atmosphere with breathtaking views. After a day filled with adventure, guests return to their private suites nestled among Milkwood trees and Aloes. Each suite is designed with ultimate comfort in mind, offering king or twin beds, air-conditioning, a coffee machine, and a spacious bathroom with twin basins, a deep tub, and a walk-in shower. Induli’s off-grid and eco-friendly practices ensure a luxurious yet sustainable retreat that honours and protects the surrounding environment. The Induli team’s commitment to conservation and cultural celebration ensures that every guest feels a deep connection to the land. Through inspired design and thoughtful service, Induli not only offers a luxurious getaway but also a tribute to the region’s natural beauty and heritage. Each day includes 2 guided game drives, immersing guests in the rhythms of the wilderness.
