Among the Frontier Settlers some five generations ago, our families settled in the Eastern Cape to farm sheep and cattle on the wild and often hostile Zuurveld. We are still here in the now historic and hospitable Frontier Country, only today our Private Game Reserve offers a wildlife experience that will capture your imagination, refresh your soul and help to conserve our natural heritage. Here you will also experience the warm hospitality of the settler family descendents who run The Heritage Collection of Game lodges. The Amakula Game Lodge is a malaria-free BIG 5 experience and families are welcome.
