An Authentic Safari Experience Begins at Amakhala
By Blu-Pebbles Tours – Discover, Explore, Remember
A truly authentic safari experience cannot be composed. It unfolds naturally, rooted in respect for the animals’ rightful place in the landscape, and elevated by genuine, personal service. That was precisely how one of our returning guests described her recent day safari at Leeuwenbosch Country House - Amakhala Game Reserve, nestled within the malaria-free Amakhala Game Reserve in Addo, Eastern Cape.
As a destination, Amakhala captures the very spirit of the African wilderness. It’s a place where the rhythm of nature leads the way and each moment feels unhurried and sincere.
Recently, we were privileged to welcome Arthur and Sonja, returning guests who travelled aboard the AIDAstella cruise ship and rejoined us for another memorable shore excursion during their stop in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
After the safari, we received this heartfelt message:
“We had a great day with Jaco and the guide. You took very good care of us, and we felt very comfortable. If friends of ours come to South Africa, we will recommend you if a trip is planned – it doesn't get any better. And should we come back, we will be happy to contact you again.”
– Wolfgang and Sonja
It is messages like these that remind us why we do what we do, crafting unforgettable experiences and forging meaningful connections with travellers from around the globe.
A Journey That Begins with Warmth
The adventure begins long before the first wildlife sighting. The newly revamped Leeuwenbosch reception area, complete with a small conference venue and a delightful curio shop, welcomes visitors with warmth and style. One of the highlights is the striking African-themed mural that dominates the space, providing a bold and beautiful backdrop that is sure to become a favourite photo spot for travellers looking to capture the moment.
With a relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff, and a coffee and tea station, guests have the chance to settle in before heading off into the bush. These simple, thoughtful touches elevate the experience, making every visit memorable, whether it’s your first safari or your fifth.
Safari for the Soul
At Amakhala, you don’t just go on safari; you truly experience it. The golden light of early morning, the scent of the fynbos, and the distant call of a black-backed jackal all work together to ground you in the present and awaken your sense of wonder. Whether it’s spotting zebras at a watering hole, watching cheetahs laze in the midday sun, or simply marvelling at the untamed beauty of the Eastern Cape, there’s a raw honesty here that’s impossible to replicate.
We believe that every guest deserves to feel completely at home. With a day safari at Amakhala, that is precisely what you will find: an experience that is authentic, immersive, and unforgettable.
