Enjoy the varied wildlife of South Africa’s Eastern Cape on this malaria-free safari in Amakhala Game Reserve, Port Elizabeth. Spend three nights in a 4* lodge exploring the Amakhala Game Reserve, where antelope graze on the endless plains and baby cheetahs play in the tall grasses. Look for elephants and hippos bathing in the river on your morning game drive before retreating to the lodge for some rest and relaxation. Evening safaris will reveal the nocturnal animals like leopards as they come out to hunt as well as other like warthogs that retreat to the safety of their burrows. Finish each evening with stories around the fire and dinner under the unblinking stars – an ideal South African safari.

The climate is mild year round, however there are ‘seasons’ you may want consider when planning your trip along the Garden Route. They tend to experience rainfall during the winter months (June to August) when it tends to be greener all round. The rains come in with a cooler air, last maybe a day or two and are then usually followed by champagne days’ of crystal clear air, blue skies and brilliant colours!
The summer months (November to February) are usually warm or hot, and during December to January the surf is often at its best due to the south easterly winds.
