Amazing place. Better in real life than the photos online. The rooms and overall setting was spectacular. The only thing I would suggest is to have more food options.

We've just had a very pleasant and very relaxing 3nights at Amalinda Lodge. Stunning location, impeccable service from the warm and welcoming arrival to our jungle drum call out for dinner! The rooms are all privately spaced out and have beautiful views. Thanks to the housekeeping ladies for helping us celebrate my husband's 60th with their thoughtful hand made card and decorations. The beds have electric blankets which was much appreciated for the cold winter air! Every member of staff was superb and excellent in their roles - attentive but not intrusive. Special shout out to Kevin who is unbelievably knowledgeable and interesting to talk to and with whom we had an unforgettable rhino experience in The Rhodes Matopos National Park. The lodge is wonderful, something for everyone, whether it's relaxing by the pool with Zeph, going for an early morning run around the concession or doing one of the many activities self drive or guided. It's a great location to explore The Rhodes Matopos National Park, don't miss the Nswatugi Cave art, the World's View Rhodes' Grave site (at sunset) or on the other side in the Game Park, the hippos in Chitampa Dam, the the Mother and Child rock formation.
