HillsNek's Fresh New Look!

HillsNek Safaris re-opens with a fresh new look! HillsNek has undergone a stunning refurbishment, creating an inspiring and fresh “new” look. Designed and decorated by Brent and Chantelle Cook, HillsNek Safaris is 100% owner run. Tucked away in a secluded corner of the Amakhala Game Reserve, HillsNek is a hidden gem in the heart of the Eastern Cape. Constructed from canvas, thatch and wood, the lodge is framed by breath-taking cliffs which lend a soulful and tranquil atmosphere to the camp. Whilst the lodge’s public areas and safari tents have undergone a revamp, the integrity of the tented camp has remained essentially the same. A fresher, African safari look has been introduced, with a wide range of natural colours from off-whites through to dark chocolates, with accents of bright African colours such as lime and burnt orange. Decorative items such as large custom-made knitted chandeliers, wildlife photography, textured scatter cushions and other unique and eclectic hand-made pieces adorn the lodge. The main lodge has retained its open design that permanently invites the outside in with a simple sophistication. Roll-up canvas blinds provide the perfect welcoming flow from one area to the next. HillsNek has always drawn inspiration from the surrounding landscape, and leans on raw and organic materials to evoke the natural aspect. Each luxurious tented suite features romantic outdoor showers, deep baths and raised wooden decks to enhance the spectacular views of the plains. The surroundings of the African bush are constantly echoed in the interiors, with exciting colours, patterns and textures. Romantic summer dinners can be enjoyed under star spangled skies on the raised decks. An easy one hour’s drive from Port Elizabeth; and road transfers are also available. Come and let HillsNek enchant you.
