The
Amakhala Game Reserve began in 1999 as a joint conservation venture.
Today, five independently owned lodges of The Heritage Collection,
are all TGCSA Star Lodge accredited. The lodges are owner managed
by the descendants of the original families who arrived here with
the British settlers of 1820. The lodges offer various styles
of accommodation, which include two gracious colonial homesteads,
two classic bush lodges, an historic inn and a Settler farmhouse.
Amakhala Game Reserve is a unique conservation
initiative that allows animals to be re-introduced to the area
where they once roamed freely and so making a contribution to
the conservation of our natural heritage. The land was used to
ranch sheep and cattle up to the turn of the century. The challenge
has been to re-establish the original flora and fauna species
to the area and to return the land to nature.

Bukela Lodge is situated in the malaria free, 6000 hectare Amakhala Game reserve
just 40 minutes drive from Port Elizabeth. The Owners, Deon &
Elsa Truter, have for many years dreamed and envisioned such a
place, where one could relax and partake of the splendor of the
African bush whilst still enjoying quality service and comfort.
Having both explored most of the South African reserves extensively,
they chose “this place of great admiration” in order to realize
their dream, not only for its magnificence but also because it
would offer their guests an opportunity of discovering the Eastern
Cape which is of significant cultural and historical importance.
In addition, the proximity of the coast to Bukela Lodge offers
guests the opportunity of enjoying the bush and discovering the
pristine beaches of the Eastern Cape.
