Amakhala Game Reserve is a stunning wildlife destination located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and more. Visitors can enjoy game drives, bush walks, and night drives, as well as a variety of other activities such as bird watching, fishing, and cultural tours. Bird watching in the reserve is exceptional with over 250 species recorded. The reserve also offers luxurious accommodation, making it the perfect destination for a safari.
Amakhala Game Reserve was voted by East Cape Tourism as the best Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape.
In Amakhala, the wildlife viewing is good all year. Since the climate is semi-arid, animals are always attracted to water sources – but marginally more so during the driest months of June through September. Nights become very cold at this time, making it essential to bring warm clothing for game drives in open vehicles.

Seems pointless to book things direct when Safari.com can do it all for you at the same cost
I wasn’t actually planning on leaving a review until after our trip which has been scheduled for March 2025. I wasn’t even planning to use a travel company to assist as we are experienced travellers who are used to booking our own arrangements. The cost of going direct with suppliers and going through Safari.com was exactly the same - with the latter you also have outstanding service and advice which makes it pointless to do it yourself. But I felt compelled to leave a shout out for Leigh-Ann Croeser who has been extremely helpful in organising our itinerary for South Africa. Her response to queries was always prompt and professional. When we ultimately wish to travel to East Africa, I know who I will be contacting.
