Press Release

HillsNek Safaris re-opens with a fresh new look!

HillsNek tented camp has undergone a sophisticated refurbishment, creating an inspiring and fresh “new” look. Designed and decorated by Brent and Chantelle Cook, HillsNek Safaris is renowned for its  100% owner managed and run philosophy.

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 lies in an elevated position framed by a back drop of spectacular cliffs, which evokes a soulful and tranquil atmosphere to the camp.

The public areas and safari tents have been successfully revamped, but the essential integrity and special ambiance of the camp has remained. A fresher African safari feel has been introduced using a clever fusion of natural colours from  tranquil off-whites through to dark chocolates, with contrasts of bright African shades such as lime and burnt orange. Decorative items such as the 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 engages the senses with its outside-in feel and gives the impression of a tangible connection to its spectacular surroundings.  Roll-up canvas blinds offer a seamless and welcoming flow from one area to the next. HillsNek has always drawn inspiration from its landscape, and leans on raw and organic materials to enhance its natural aspect.

Each luxurious tented suite features a romantic ‘wash in the wild’ outdoor shower, deep ceramic baths, and private wrap around wooden decks that enhance breathtaking views across the plains. The surrounding environments of the African bush are constantly echoed in the interiors, through the vibrant colours, patterns and textures. Romantic summer dinners are enjoyed under a panorama of star spangled skies on raised decks – you can’t get much closer to pure heaven.

An easy one hour’s drive from Port Elizabeth; or bookable road transfers are also availableillsHill.

Let  the true African spirit of HillsNek enchant you.
