Kwandwe Private Game Reserve

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve lies in the heart of South Africa’s Eastern Cape near Grahamstown, and is a natural conclusion to a journey along the world-famous Garden Route. A victory for far-sighted conservation, the 20 000 hectares of farmland in the Great Fish River region was restored and restocked with African wildlife. Today, thousands of animals including the lion, black and white rhino, buffalo and elephant roam this diverse and fascinating reserve.

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve offers three different kinds of accommodations. Set along the aloe-studded banks of the Great Fish River, nine suites feature private plunge pools and spacious thatched game viewing decks with magnificent views of the wild yet gentle landscape. The Uplands Homestead is a sensitively restored 1905 farmhouse comprising of three spacious en suite bedrooms with private terraces. Kwandwe Ecca Lodge is an innovative, stylish and intimate lodge that embodies a funk-meets-futuristic-farmhouse ambience, and features just six intimate suites.

Experienced CC Africa rangers and Xhosa trackers will lead you on interpretive, twice-daily game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, bringing you close to Africa’s Big Five. Fascinating nocturnal animals such as aardvark, aardwolf, porcupine, Cape fox, bat-eared fox and springhare are regularly encountered on exciting night drives. A guided bush walk in Kwandwe’s pristine wilderness brings guests face-to-face with wild Africa at its best. Hiking along the river is especially rewarding for those interested in birds, vegetation and folklore, and fishing.

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve is part of CC Africa and Relais & Chateaux
