The four lodges (marketed under Amakhala’s Heritage Collection) also support local businesses. These include a needlework entrepreneur, a small laundry and a group of women who do beading. This further helps them to generate funds for the education bursaries.
The reserve now has approximately 20 members involved in the running of the Land & Game Department. AGR’s conservation efforts are also dedicated to educating the youth on various methods of conservation.
