Arrive in Port Elizabeth and enjoy two day or relaxation or exploration of the Friendly City.
After a leisurely morning in Port Elizabeth, take a drive to your lodge on the Amakhala Private Game Reserve, the drive will take approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, we suggest departing at 12.00.
Guests are greeted on arrival at Amakhala's Hlosi Game Lodge with refreshing hand towels and served drinks in the lounge or on the pool deck overlooking the swimming pool. While baggage is delivered to their room and their vehicles valeted, guests are advised of their itinerary as follows:
Lunch is served at 2:00pm, after which you have a chance to relax, read a book from the library or try their hand at Hlosi's other activities such as archery. Light snacks in the form of delectable sweet and savoury pastries are provided half an hour before the afternoon game drive is to commence at the main lodge. The duration of a game drive is usually 3 hours depending on the amount of time spent stationary while viewing game. Bottled water, beverages and light snacks such as biltong are provided en route and the vehicle will stop in order for guests to alight and enjoy a sundowner at sunset.
Dinner may consist of either a three course meal served by the crackling fireplace in the warm atmosphere of the lodge or an informal bush braai/barbecue served under the stars in our outdoor “boma”. Barbecues are presented in a buffet style with a spread of salads and/or hot vegetables and barbecued meats (chicken, beef, ostrich, or venison), followed by a selection of desserts and cheeses.
After enjoying dinner, guests are invited to socialize until the small hours of the morning or to retire to the comfort and luxury of their suite. Whatever the preference, they will awaken to the chorus of an African dawn and ready for another day of adventure!
The next morning:
Guests are served coffee, tea and cereals and yoghurts in the main lodge half an hour before the morning game drive commences. Game rangers will halt whenever requested and share their expertise with guests. Game rangers will also stop and allow guests to alight from the vehicle for a steaming cup of coffee which is traditionally enjoyed with rusks (a South African biscuit).
On returning from the morning game drive, guests have 30 minutes at their disposal to freshen up before brunch is served. Breakfast/brunch is usually buffet style with a choice of fresh fruit, as well as sweet pastries, toast and jams. Following this, a full cooked breakfast is available.
After your morning game drive and breakfast, drive from Port Elizabeth to Plettenberg Bay. There is an awesome variety of activities to enjoy in the area - we are happy to make suggestions and recommendations based on your preferences.
