Amakhala Game Reserve offers a range of morning and evening safaris and other activities to enable our guests to experience the fascinating flora, fauna and birdlife of the Eastern Cape. This is your opportunity to return to nature. Go on game drives in an open Land Rover in search of our wildlife – lion, black & white rhino, elephant, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, black wildebeest, zebra, tortoise and over 16 antelope species – or take a night drive with cheese and wine sundowners before searching for elusive nocturnal animals such as lynx, porcupine and spring hare. Luxury accommodation is offered in our lodges: Bush Lodge, Leeuwenbosch, Reed Valley Inn, The Safari Lodge, Woodbury Lodge and Carnarvon Dale.
