Khusela is a private conservation reserve where protected, rare, threatened and endangered wild species roam freely without any risk from predators or hunters. The wonderful thatched villa with all basic amenities ranging from air conditioning, room heating, infinity pool and satellite television was completed in 2006 and open for exclusive letting to esteemed guests who are searching for a thrilling experience in the wilderness of South Africa other than a conventional game lodge.

Oribi, a rare species of antelope, Bontebok, Common Reedbuck, Sable and Black Wildbeest are prime attractions of Khusela as they are not found in many reserves. Zebra, giraffe, kudu, duiker are other attractions. The reserve is also home to aardvark, genet, baboon, mongoose, jackal and large tortoises. There are many different varieties of birds nesting in the reserve, including raptors. Visitors are overwhelmed when they enter game reserves South Africa and experience the unique blend of luxury in the midst of unspoilt wilderness.

Khusela is one of the attractive game reserves South Africa and is located within the Eastern Cape at the heart of the newly developed Game Route, an hour's drive from Port Elizabeth airport. Make sure you reach your destination before dusk.

Attractions nearby: Guests at Khusela can experience thrilling river trips on the Bushmans River in speed boats.

Vehicles: As a part of a three day package you can enjoy game drives guided by an experienced ranger in a Toyota Landcruiser. For personal use and moving around the reserve a Yamaha Rhino 4x4 vehicle, 2 seater, is available that can be used for 2 and half hours per day. It is desirable to follow the instructions of the game reserves in South Africa while moving on your own.
