Webinar Recording - AMAYA Lodge | Tented luxury in the heart of the Timbavati

In this webinar recording, Lori Voss, Sales Executive at Wilderness Seekers, introduces AMAYA Lodge, an intimate luxury tented safari lodge in South Africa’s Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, and explores what sets the property apart in the luxury safari market.

With just eight tented suites and a maximum of eight guests in-house, AMAYA offers a highly personalised safari experience centred around attentive service, a close-knit team and immersion in the surrounding wilderness. Lori takes viewers through the lodge’s accommodation, dining experience and facilities, as well as its morning and afternoon game drives, guided bush walks and other guest experiences.

A particular highlight is AMAYA’s connection to wildlife filmmaking. Guests can join a specialist filmmaking game drive with a maximum of three participants, learn to use professional wildlife filming equipment and take home their own footage from the experience. The webinar also explores AMAYA’s filmmaking scholarship initiative, which supports aspiring filmmakers from communities surrounding the Greater Kruger area through training and mentorship.

The session concludes with a Q&A covering game-drive vehicle capacity, sighting protocols in the Timbavati, adaptive vehicle arrangements, filmmaking experiences, rates and resources available to the travel trade.
