The Amakhala Game Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa is a Malari Free Big Five wildlife destination created when the local farmers - many 5th generation Frontier Settlers, pooled their resources, dropped the dividing fences to their farms and in 1999 began their joint Conservation initiative to reintroduce the wildlife that naturally occurred in this really game rich area of the past, and created the Amakhala Game Reserve.
Today there are 11 Lodges on the Amakhala Game Reserve and the development and rehabilitation of the Game reserve is ongoing. Some of the Lodges are owner managed and there is a variety of options from 3 to 5 star, tented, colonial homesteads or the classic bush lodges.
The Big Five, loin, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard all occur in the Amakhala Game Reserve although probably as a legacy of their persecution in the past the leopard are rarely seen.
