General information

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve features two exclusive safari lodges and two sole-use villas all offering world-class sophistication and style in the African bush.

A victory for far-sighted conservation, 25 000 hectares (62 000 acres) of farmland in the Great Fish River region were restored and restocked with African wildlife. Today, thousands of animals including lion, black and white rhino, buffalo and elephant roam this diverse and fascinating reserve.

Kwandwe Uplands Homestead is a private safari villa – This intimate lodge is a sensitively restored 1905 farmhouse set in a remote and tranquil valley, offering the ultimate personal safari in Kwandwe’s extraordinary African wilderness.

Perfect for the sole use of a group or family of up to six guests. Antiques and memorabilia reminiscent of an 1820s Settler home elegantly blend with comfortable, modern finishes. The sitting and dining areas feature high ceilings, wooden floors and beautiful fireplaces. A deep and shady veranda leads out to the large swimming pool and gazebo.

You have the exclusive use of a 4x4 safari vehicle, private butler, ranger and chef and large swimming pool.
