Amakhala Game Reserve

Among the Frontier Settlers some five generations ago, our families settled in the Eastern Cape to farm sheep and cattle on the wild and often hostile Zuurveld.

We are still here in the now historic and hospitable Frontier Country, only today our Private Game Reserve offers a wildlife experience that will capture your imagination, refresh your soul and help to conserve our natural heritage.

The haunting cry of the fish eagle echoes through the rugged krantzes, and the veld grass whispers with the roaming of Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra and numerous other antelope.

At Amakhala you can experience the delights of the African bushveld while on safari, bushwalk, river cruise, mountain bike, horseback, or simply with a glass of wine from the veranda of your lodge.

Here you will also experience the warm hospitality of the settler family descendents who run The Heritage Collection of lodges, and you may discover some of our little "secrets"; like the prehistoric bushman burial ground, or the site of Africa's most ancient dinosaur fossil finds.

Only 45 minutes drive east of Port Elizabeth, Amakhala Game Reserve is easily accessible for any visitor to South Africa, and it is surely a not-to-be-missed stop on South Africa's famous "Garden Route".
