About Woodbury Tented Camp
Woodbury Tented Camp is an intimate, three-star bush camp located on the spectacular Amakhala Game Reserve and run by the Gush family, who have lived on the land for five generations. Tucked into a secluded hillside thicket overlooking the ancient floodplain of the Bushman’s River, Woodbury Tented Camp is one of the hidden jewels of the Eastern Cape.
Ten comfortable en-suite tents on raised bases, each with its own private deck, allow guests to enjoy a rare intimacy with nature. Each tent has hot running water, the option of king-size or twin beds and electric blankets for those cosy evenings. Also in the portfolio are two family tents which connect via a balcony, allowing families to enjoy the African bush together.
ROOM TYPES:
Family Tents (2 rooms): Two family friendly options are available at Woodbury Tented Camp, where two tents connect via a balcony, allowing families to enjoy the African bush together. Each of these units consist of the main tents with en suite bathrooms with hot running water and a basic side tent for the children (the bathroom is shared in the main tent), the option of king-size or twin beds and electric blankets.
King/Twin Tents: Comfortable en-suite tents on raised bases, each with its own private deck, allowing guests to enjoy a rare intimacy with nature. Each tent has an en suite bathroom with hot running water, the option of king-size or twin beds and electric blankets for those cosy evenings.

About Amakhala Game Reserve
Situated in the Greater Addo and Frontier Country area of the Eastern Cape, is the malaria-free Amakhala Game Reserve – a mere one hours drive north-east of Port Elizabeth’s national airport.
The Amakhala Game Reserve began in 1999 as a joint conservation venture between the owners of six lodges who are direct descendants of the original Frontier settlers, some five generations ago. They arrived here with the British settlers of 1820. The families originally settled to farm sheep and cattle on the wild and often hostile Zuurveld.
This private game reserve covers 8500 hectors, and has the big 5. Game drives are guided by an experienced Ranger on an open Land Rover, and guests are given an experience in the diverse wildlife and landscape including: Big 5 Game Drives, Black Wildebeest, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra and numerous other antelope can also be spotted while on game drives.
Tucked into a secluded hillside thicket overlooking the ancient floodplain of the Bushman’s River, Woodbury Tented Camp is one of the hidden jewels of the Eastern Cape.
