Welcome to woodbury Tented Camp

Woodbury Tented Camp is an intimate, three-star bush camp located on the spectacular Amakhala Game Reserve and run by the Gush family, who have lived on the land for five generations. Many of our staff have grown up in the area and take pride in ensuring that your African safari experience is a memorable one.

Tucked into a secluded hillside thicket overlooking the ancient floodplain of the Bushman's River, Woodbury Tented Camp is one of the hidden jewels of the Eastern Cape.

Ten comfortable en-suite tents on raised bases, each with its own private deck, allow guests to enjoy a rare intimacy with nature. Each tent has hot running water, the option of king-size or twin beds and electric blankets for those cosy evenings. Also in the portfolio are two family tents which connect via a balcony, allowing families to enjoy the African bush together. 

Twice daily game drives with one of our friendly and professional guides offer the chance for exciting Big Five game viewing and unforgettable sundowners in the bush. Camp life is centred around the thatch-and-canvas dining and lounge area, with its expansive deck overlooking the Woodbury plains. A wide variety of game species such as zebra, giraffe, buffalo and elephant can often be seen from the deck, while the haunting cry of fish eagles echoes across the valley.

Woodbury Tented Camp is located on the spectacular 7500  ha malaria-free Amakhala Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, which boasts of the Big Five and other forms of wildlife.

Getting to Amakhala Game Reserve

Visitors to the 7,500 acre Amakhala Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape can enjoy a Big 5 safari within 1 hour’s drive from Port Elizabeth.

The most common way to get to Amakhala Game Reserve is to travel by air to Port Elizabeth Airport, starting from either O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg or Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town.  South Africa has quite a selection of airlines to choose from along these routes

You may also prefer a self-drive adventure from Cape Town, along the renowned Garden Route. This is the most interesting way to travel and travel time can range from three to five leisurely days while exploring the route’s hidden secrets like oyster tasting on a cruise at the Knysna Lagoon, or exploring the Tsitsikamma National Park on an exhilarating hike across the Suspension Bridge. During the Spring season, you can do whale watching by boat or from the shore at Plettenberg Bay.

Driving from Port Elizabeth Airport or surrounds

From Port Elizabeth take the N2 towards Grahamstown. Approximately 50 km from Port Elizabeth is an intersection, keep left on the N2 towards Grahamstown. From the intersection travel for a further 13km towards Amakhala Game Reserve (see road signs of various lodges along the way, there is no central entrance).

Driving to Woodbury Tented Camp

About 85km from Port Elizabeth on the N2 to Grahamstown you will cross the Bushman’s River. Just after the bridge you will see the road sign for Woodbury Lodge. On the right hand side is a terracotta coloured wall with a thatched roof.Enter the gate and follow the signs to Woodbury Tented Camp

Airport transfers are provided at an additioal cost
