Kwandwe Fort House
Overview of Kwandwe Fort House
South Africa, Eastern Cape
Kwandwe Fort House is an exclusive-use safari villa for families and groups of friends who are looking for a private setting in Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, situated in South Africa's underrated Eastern Cape province. Set in an elevated position with expansive views over the reserve, the villa accommodates eight people (plus a toddler if needed) and is fully staffed, serviced daily, and comes complete with a private chef and butler, plus your own guide, tracker and safari vehicle.
There is everything you need for complete home-from-home comfort: the villa features a wine cellar, spa treatment room and a heated swimming pool, plus large outdoor relaxing and dining areas. Ideally for families with children, the property has a perimeter fence for safety and peace of mind, and there is a childminding service, too.
A great destination for travellers on a self-drive vacation along the Garden Route, or those wanting to discover a different corner of South Africa, Kwandwe Fort House gives you the chance to enjoy a malaria-free Big 5 safari in authentic style. The reserve reflects the wildlife that once roamed the entire region and you can sit back to sightings of lions, rhinos and elephants as well as spectacular birds, night skies and gorgeous scenery.
Kwandwe Private Game Reserve is wholeheartedly committed to conservation and has spearheaded eco-tourism and development in the region since 1999. It’s a refuge for vulnerable animals like rhino, cheetah and blue crane. Guests at Kwandwe have the opportunity to experience specialist activities like walking safaris, visiting or volunteering at a pre-school on the reserve, planting spekboom (a type of thicket vegetation that’s native to the Eastern Cape), and a soul-stirring Rhino Conservation Safari (a once-in-a-lifetime chance to participate in Kwandwe’s remarkable rhino-darting and notching program).
Make a Positive Impact Through TravelKwandwe 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. |
