What People Say

  • “We spent three magical days with our gracious hosts, Maryan and Roger Hart. Having breakfast and dinner with them was an absolute treat and a wonderfully charming touch. Carnarvon Dale and Amakhala is an absolute "Must" for anyone visiting the Eastern Cape of South Africa. We hope to visit again soon.”

  • “What I really liked is that this is very much a non-commercialised experience. It's a lodge that's been in the owner's (Roger & Maryan) family for around 150 years. This was very much a personal touch safari, with really interesting and genuine hosts & guide, and I'd thoroughly recommend it if that's what you're looking for.”

  • “We had the pleasure of staying two nights at the lodge. Roger and Maryan were so friendly and helpful. One cannot think of better hosts. The food was amazing and the setting was fantastic. We learned a lot about South Africa during our discussion.”
