The Safari Lodge - Amakhala

Description

usher you away on an exciting BIG 5 game drive where you will be served delectable sundowners in the bush. An exclusive boat cruise through the majestic Bushmans River will leave you in awe of our magnificent scenery.

The Safari Lodge forms part of the prestigious Amakhala Heritage Collection and its location is ideal for the best malaria free, wildlife viewing South Africa has to offer.

A Land Steeped in History
Some five generations ago our families settled in the Eastern Cape to farm sheep and cattle on the wild and often hostile frontier of the Zuurveld. Today we still live here, in historic and hospitable Frontier Country, recreating a wild life experience, which will capture your imagination, refresh your soul and conserve our natural heritage.

The lodge is secretly hidden in the indigenous bush of the 6500 ha Amakhala Game Reserve. African tribal design inspired the creation of this intimate lodge of wood, reeds and thatch. Canvas drop blinds open up the views to the surrounding beauty.

The lodge has a splendid view of a small waterhole that attracts birds, monkeys, zebra and numerous antelope species. Be fascinated by our abundant wildlife; elephant, lion, rhino, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and many antelope species. These game drives are very intimate and you will also learn about the small and interesting animals and plants of the reserve as well as the history of the land and people. The Bushman's River runs through Amakhala Game Reserve and we include it in one of our afternoon game drives in the form of a cheese and wine cruise.
