Amakhala Game Reserve is located in the malaria-free Eastern Cape of South Africa. The Game Reserve offers a wide variety of 3, 4 & 5-star owner-managed experiences. The private Game Reserve offers guests accommodation in a selection of 11 diverse establishments made up of restored Country houses, Safari Lodges and Tented camps located in different areas of the large 9 000 hectare Game Reserve.
Some dwellings are owned and managed by fifth generation Frontier Settlers families (read the history of the Game Reserve)
Day and night game viewing trips under guidance of professional game rangers are available. Wildlife likely to be encountered during the game drives in the Game Reserve are: the "Big Five", lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard as well as cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and plenty of antelope species.
Visits to the nearby Addo Elephant National Park can be arranged at request.
Amakhala Game Reserve continues to provide an excellent example of how communities can convert agricultural land for conservation purposes while promoting a viable tourism economy. Protecting the rhinos is a key factor in the ongoing success and sustainability of this initiative.
We ask all our guests to contribute to the Conservation and Community Development Levy, which goes towards the protection measures established to counter the ever-present threat of criminal rhino poaching and to provide education for our future conservationists.
