Amakhala Safari Lodge

Amakhala Safari Lodge Dining

The resident chef prepares simple food with enthusiasm and flair. Four-course dinners start with delicious soups and homemade bread, followed by traditional dishes such as venison and ostrich often cooked safari style over coals.

  An Initiative of the Amakhala Game Reserve

  The Amakhala Conservation Centre is largely funded through bed levies from the commercial lodges and donations and has three main objectives:

  to promote environmental awareness and impart knowledge of the environmental, economic and cultural importance of wildlife, wild areas and the functioning of natural ecosystems.

  to identify and support research projects that provide ecological and social information relevant to the management of the reserve and to wildlife conservation in general.

  to encourage and advise on various conservation projects which will ensure the conservation of biodiversity and functioning of ecological systems.

  Following on the successful re-introduction of 15 species onto Amakhala the conservation centre continues to investigate the reintroduction of other species like Cape vulture into the area.
