Overview of Kwandwe Ecca Lodge

Enjoy an authentic Big 5 safari experience at Kwandwe Ecca Lodge, located within the beautiful Kwandwe Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province. This stylish and intimate lodge radiates a cosy home-away-from-home ambience, while maintaining a modern style.

Kwandwe Ecca Lodge has all the ingredients for an unforgettable family safari getaway: malaria-free, perimeter fence, entertainment room and spacious family suites. Families are allocated their own private guide and vehicle for the flexibility to design their own schedule, and child-minders are available when parents need some down time. The lodge’s play centre will keep the kids busy and offer family activities including kite building, board games and scavenger hunts.

 

Make a Positive Impact Through Travel

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve is a conservation victory. Comprising just 26 rooms split across two intimate lodges and three villas, the reserve offers one of the highest land-to-guest ratios in South Africa. The successful development of this high-yield/low-impact conservation model is key to furthering our numerous conservation initiatives. Kwandwe is committed to making a positive and lasting difference in the rural Eastern Cape, one of South Africa’s least developed provinces. Working through their social development partner, the Ubunye Foundation, they invest in projects that improve lives and create sustainable livelihood opportunities in marginalised rural communities.

For every night you spend at Kwandwe, you make a difference through your Community & Conservation Levy. Funds are split equally between the conservation and community projects and initiatives, and the levy applies to all guests 12 years and older.
