Amakhala Game Reserve

Amakhala Game Reserve holidays

Amakhala is situated only 60 km from Port Elizabeth in the heart of the Eastern Cape. It is named after the Xhosa word meaning ‘Aloe’, the prolific indigenous plant found in this province. This game reserve is a unique conservation initiative that allows animals to be re-introduced to the area where they once roamed freely. The 5000-hectare game reserve creates an ideal environment for an unforgettable safari backed by breathtaking views of the Bushman’s River.

"The entire Ethiopian experience, coffee making in a small hut, sitting with Gelada baboons in the Simian Mountains, the churches of Lalibela, and the exciting participation in Timkat was an experience not to be missed.
Mrs Suzanne Vincent"

"The scenery was amazing throughout the tour, but the two main sights for us were St. Georges cruciform rock church and the Blue Nile falls. Both truly amazing.
Mr David Eyres"

"We had a great holiday. So thanks for your help and advice in putting that together.
Mr. Hazelden"

"An excellent itinerary. Transfers were seemless.
Mr and Mrs. Johnson"

"Difficult to choose between the tracking and finding of desert elephants in Damaraland, and the safari drive in Erindi, where we saw a host of different animals and witnessed a kill (two cheetahs on a springbok). Both expeditions were enhanced by the jeep drivers who showed enthusiasm, persistence and knowledge.
Ms Sarah Dearman"

"An excellent itinerary. Transfers were seamless.
Mr and Mrs Johnson"

"I think Victoria Falls and then Bumi Hills resort were, without doubt, the highlights of the trip - which was a really fabulous trip.
Mr Steven Wigg"

"We had a marvellous time! Our driver Rarjed was brilliant at finding the animals and positioning the car just so. Seeing our first lion on the first day was so exciting. The view of the Masai Mara from Serena Mara lodge was an awe inspiring experience. Watching two male giraffes fighting was an unforgettable sight. As you can see it is impossible to pick the most inspirational moment, the whole trip was a dream come true."

"The acommodation and game drive arrangements were first class and the ranger went out of his way to get us in the best positions to view the wildlife and his knowledge was amazing. At Isandwhana and Rorkes Drift the resident historian brought the battles to life to the extent that you almost felt you were there.
Mr Harvey Harrison"

"[What was inspirational was ] the sheer range of experiences from the vibrant city of Cape Town to the vistas of the wineries around Franschhoek and Stellendosch and the drive through the mountains to Sanbona in the Little Karroo. Seeing white rhino and elephants at sunset and then the amazing fynbos at Grootbos near Walker Bay. Every day brought something new and fresh.
Mrs Lindsey Riley"

"We feel very privileged to have gone on such a special journey and we cannot thank you enough for the care and attention you took in selecting our itinerary.
Mr Gait"

"We had the most wonderful time there thanks to your organisation.
Mr Ansar"
