Location
Bukela Lodge is situated in the malaria free, 6000 hectare
Amakhala Game reserve just 40 minutes drive from Port Elizabeth.
The Owners, Deon & Elsa Truter, have for many years dreamed
and envisioned such a place, where one could relax and partake
of the splendor of the African bush whilst still enjoying quality
service and comfort. Having both explored most of the South African
reserves extensively, they chose “this place of great admiration”
in order to realize their dream, not only for its magnificence
but also because it would offer their guests an opportunity of
discovering the Eastern Cape which is of significant cultural
and historical importance. In addition, the proximity of the coast
to Bukela Lodge offers guests the opportunity of enjoying the
bush and discovering the pristine beaches of the Eastern Cape.
The lodge ffers the guest a true African experience encompassing
all of ones senses, and not tempered by Western or European influences
except where comfort and service are concerned. In this regard,
guests can expect every service they would expect of an exclusive
5 star international establishment.
