Leeuwenbosch Country House Amakhala Game Reserve

Leeuwenbosch Country House is a historic eight-bed home within the Amakhala Game Reserve, offering a calm setting for families seeking a connection with Southern African heritage. This 3-star property provides spacious en-suite rooms in a 1908 settler house, making it a good choice for those wishing to explore the Eastern Cape wildlife.

Families with children over six may find the extensive game-viewing activities particularly engaging, including guided drives, walks, and river cruises led by expert professionals. Guests can observe diverse wildlife such as elephants, rhinos, and lions while enjoying meals in the historic cellar bar or on the veranda. A separate building, Shearer's Lodge, offers contemporary suites for those preferring a modern base near Addo Elephant National Park.

Parents can relax in the 19th-century stone chapel or unwind in the cellar bar while children are cared for by a babysitting service available for an extra charge. Day safaris can be booked directly with the lodge, featuring a two-course lunch and drinks from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM. It is worth checking with the hotel before booking to confirm current availability and specific age requirements for all activities.
