About this property
Amava River Lodge
WHERE CLASSIC SAFARI MEETS MODERN LUXURY ON THE BANKS OF THE OLIFANTS RIVER
Nestled along the Olifants River in the far north of the Balule Game Reserve, Amava
River Lodge offers an unforgettable safari experience where the rhythm of flowing water harmonises with the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. This brand-new, tented lodge boasts stunning panoramic views upstream and downstream, inviting guests to connect deeply with nature. The camp is perched gracefully on the southern riverbank, surrounded by magnificent riparian trees that provide shade and shelter for diverse wildlife and an abundance of birdlife that graces the
riverbanks.
From dazzling kingfishers to majestic African fish eagles, the avian activity is a constant delight for nature enthusiasts. Set on raised wooden decks to minimise the
environmental footprint, Amava River Lodge is seamlessly integrated into its surroundings, offering the perfect balance between comfort and leisure. With its elevated position, the camp provides an exceptional vantage point for game viewing and the enchanting sounds of the river below. This is unplugged Africa
at its best—where the spirit of the wild meets the luxury of a bespoke safari experience.
Irresistible... Alluring... Beguiling...
