Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge is perched on the emerald banks of its namesake, the Great Fish River, and boasts incredible views over an endless landscape. Situated in the gorgeous Kwandwe Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, Kwandwe offers conservation-focused Big 5 safaris within a malaria-free region. Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge’s location makes for great armchair game viewing, while providing complete serenity and privacy. It is the ideal destination for couples and honeymooners.

A safari at Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge is also a natural conclusion to a memorable journey along one of South Africa’s most popular holiday destinations, the Garden Route – a stunning, 300-km (186-mi) stretch of coastline between Mossel Bay and Plettenberg Bay. Great Fish River Lodge delivers unforgettable safari experiences, including morning and afternoon game drives led by some of the country’s best game rangers and sharp-eyed trackers.

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).
