South Africa has long been regarded as one of the premier destinations when it comes to wildlife watching. From big game safaris to diving with Great White Sharks, animal lovers are spoilt for choice on a holiday in South Africa. Yet if you’d like do more than just see the animals, there are plenty of opportunities to do so. Many of the animals in South Africa have suffered from decades of hunting, poaching and habitat destruction, and continued conservation efforts are the only thing standing between them and extinction.

Add in the stunning natural beauty of Amkhala, with the Bushman’s River being a particular highlight, and it is easy to see why this reserve is such a popular destination.
