MORE ABOUT AMAKHALA GAME RESERVE

Once a collection of family-run farms, Amakhala Game Reserve was born from a shared vision to restore the land to its natural state. Over the years, fences came down, wildlife returned and a thriving conservation area emerged.

Today, this 8,500-hectare reserve stands as a testament to what passion and preservation can achieve — protecting biodiversity while uplifting local communities.

Just 50 minutes from Port Elizabeth on the route to Grahamstown, this malaria-free Big 5 reserve offers unforgettable ways to experience the Eastern Cape. Enjoy expert-guided game drives and close encounters with Africa’s most iconic wildlife, or take to the Bushman’s River on a scenic boat cruise, where tranquil waters, beautiful riverbanks and abundant birdlife offer a different perspective of the reserve.

Perfect for families, friends and corporate groups, Amakhala offers memorable safari experiences that showcase the very best of the Eastern Cape.

STAY A WHILE

Turn your safari or river adventure into an unforgettable getaway. Amakhala offers a wide range of accommodation, from charming 3-star lodges to indulgent 5-star luxury — each with its own character, warm hospitality and unforgettable views of the wild.

Whether you spend your days tracking wildlife on safari, cruising along the Bushman’s River or simply soaking up the tranquillity of the reserve, there’s no better way to experience Amakhala than by staying a little longer.
