Amakhala Game Reserve

Paterson, Gqeberha, Eastern Cape 0–60 guestsRRRR · Luxury

Overview & Capacity

Amakhala is the flexible-configuration reserve - 7,300 hectares, eleven independently run lodges, malaria-free Big-5, all just fifty minutes from the airport, which is close by EC-reserve standards. There's no single big conference hall; instead select lodges (Safari Lodge, Bukela) run smaller conferences and functions, and the play for a bigger group is a multi-lodge or whole-reserve buyout with boma dinners and Bushmans River cruises. B&W uses it for incentive stays and team-building where the group can spread across lodges, and confirms which lodge has the room the brief needs before committing.

B&W Production Notes

  • Low-Medium - conferences and team-building at individual lodges; no large central plenary
B&W Verdict

The build-your-own-buyout reserve. Eleven lodges, 50 minutes out - configure it to the group and let the Big-5 do the reward.
