Overview of HillsNek Safaris
Situated on the banks of the Bushman’s River in a secluded corner of the Amakhala Game Reserve, HillsNek Safaris is an elegant and exclusive lodge that offers its guests complete privacy. With its location in a prime Big 5 area in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, the lodge offers an excellent wildlife experience especially after a Garden Route self-drive holiday.
Explore this diverse area on morning and evening game drives in your 4X4 safari vehicle or go for guided walks with your private ranger. There are only four tents here, meaning very low visitor numbers throughout the year. HillsNek is an ideal option for a group of eight who want to book the entire camp to enjoy all for themselves.
