From Cape Town by Road

The total distance from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth is about 750 km, and the Amakhala Game Reserve is then about an hours drive further from Port Elizabeth, so we certainly don't recommend trying to drive this in a day.

Most visitors take a couple of days to drive along the Garden Route - the Garden Route is beautiful, and it is definitely a worthwhile addition to any holiday itinerary. If you would like a quote for a hire car, please do let us know and we will be happy to arrange this for you. Alternatively you can book directly with Avis in South Africa.

Scheduled Flight from Cape Town

If time is precious, you can fly between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, which takes just over an hour. Prices start from approximately R500 per person one way, but please note that flight prices are dependent on the day and time you travel.

When you land at Port Elizabeth Airport, you can then either hire a car from the airport, or else we can arrange a road transfer from the airport to the lodge for you, which will be an additional cost.
