A Defining Step for Bundox’s Luxury Safari Portfolio

Where Contemporary Comfort Meets the Kruger Wilderness

Built to harmonize with its setting, Amava River Lodge embraces natural materials, open-plan living, and uninterrupted views of the Olifants River. Guests can expect daily wildlife encounters from the comfort of their suites, with elephants, hippos, and antelope frequenting the riverbanks. The lodge’s design philosophy emphasizes “luxury without excess,” offering premium features such as private decks, fine dining, and wellness treatments while maintaining a minimal ecological footprint. This architectural approach complements Bundox’s long-standing ethos of responsible travel, creating a sanctuary that feels indulgent yet inherently connected to nature.

A Culinary and Wellness Experience Rooted in Place

Amava River Lodge places equal emphasis on nourishment and restoration. Its culinary program highlights seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, blending African flavours with modern presentation. Guests can dine under the stars, beside the river, or in elegant communal spaces designed for connection and storytelling. Complementing the dining experience, the lodge’s wellness offerings include spa therapies, yoga sessions, and mindful relaxation in natural surroundings. These elements work together to position Amava as a destination for holistic rejuvenation, where luxury becomes a conduit for stillness and self-discovery.

Amava River Lodge caters to this new generation of luxury adventurers, those who value environmental integrity, cultural authenticity, and personal enrichment.
