Set in 30,000 hectares of pristine wilderness in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, Kwandwe is one of the largest privately-owned Big 5 game reserves in the country. Once farmland, the reserve has been transformed into a rich biodiverse haven, where seven of South Africa’s eight biomes converge. Kwandwe is home to endangered species like black and white rhino, cheetah, and a variety of other wildlife, making it a conservation success story.
The Great Fish River meanders through the reserve, with Great Fish River Lodge located along its course, while Ecca Lodge sits to the west. For those seeking even more exclusivity, there are three private villas—Fort House, Melton Manor, and Uplands—offering the ultimate in comfort, flexibility and seclusion.
