Wildlife viewing in Amakhala Game Reserve is good all year round. Since the climate is semi-arid, animals are always attracted to water sources – but marginally more so during the drier months of May through to September. Nights become very cold at this time, making it essential to bring warm clothing for game drives in open vehicles.
