Leeuwenbosch Country House - Amakhala Game Reserve

We have lion cubs! ❤️

We’re not sure exactly how many there are just yet — Mom is keeping her little ones very well hidden and is doing a fantastic job of protecting them.

For now, we’ll be patient and let her do what comes naturally, giving her and the cubs plenty of space during these important early days.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome these new little members of the pride and can’t wait to share more with you as they grow. 🐾

With end-of-year celebrations approaching, why not swap the usual outing for something a little more memorable?

Bring your team, friends or family to Amakhala for a Big Five Day Safari and spend the day exploring the reserve, spotting wildlife and enjoying the beauty of the Eastern Cape. 🦁

It’s a unique way to celebrate, reconnect and create memories together.

The bush has a way of making you slow down. 🌿 You head out with no idea exactly what you’ll see.

Then, somewhere along the way, you find yourself sitting quietly beside a waterhole, watching a herd move through the grass, or following fresh tracks in the dust.

No two game drives are ever quite the same and that’s the beauty of safari.

Don’t you just love how Africa gets under your skin? 🌿

It’s the animals. The unexpected sightings. The sound of the bush waking up. The moments when you find yourself sitting quietly, completely captivated by what’s in front of you.

Africa has a way of staying with you long after the safari ends. 🦁🐘

Ever wondered about the distinctive black lines running from a cheetah’s eyes down towards its mouth?

Known as tear marks, these markings are thought to help reduce glare from the sun, helping cheetahs keep their eyes focused while hunting.

And when you’re built for speed, every advantage counts.

We often notice them for their long legs and distinctive appearance as they stride across the grasslands. But once those impressive wings unfold, they become an entirely different sight.

With a wingspan of around 2 metres, the Secretary bird is remarkably graceful in the air, effortlessly carrying itself across the open landscape.

From walking the plains to soaring above them, this is one bird that never fails to make an impression.

Spring is here! Time to soak up the sunshine, smell the flowers and enjoy the great outdoors. 🌿☀️

And suddenly… colour. 🌸

Spring has arrived, bringing fresh greens, bright blooms and little reminders that the bush is always changing.

After the quiet tones of winter, it’s wonderful to see the reserve come alive again.

We’re looking forward to sharing this beautiful new season with our guests — and all the magic it brings. 🌼🦋

Hello, Spring. We’re ready for you!
