Kwandwe Safari: The Spirit Calls

Land on Kwandwe’s private airstrip, where your ranger team warmly welcomes you. From here, transfer to your choice of lodge: the chic Uplands Homestead, the eco-stylish Ecca Lodge, or the grand Great Fish River Lodge. After settling in, kick off your 3-Day Kwandwe Safari with an afternoon game drive in an open 4×4, where you’ll search for the Big 5: elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, and leopard. Take a moment to pause for sundowners with a stunning view of the Great Fish River. Later, retreat to your lodge for a gourmet dinner by the fireside, immersing yourself in the sounds of the bush during your first night at Kwandwe Private Game Reserve.

Rise early for a thrilling 3-Day Kwandwe Safari, embarking on an open-vehicle or walking safari that covers fresh bush tracks with an expert ranger and tracker. Afterward, return for brunch overlooking the scenic river valleys. Participate in a rhino conservation drive or plant spekboom with the team, allowing you to play an active role in Kwandwe’s restoration ethos. Enjoy an optional spa treatment, take a refreshing dip in the plunge pool, or savor some quiet time on your deck. As part of your Big 5 safari experience, embark on an evening night drive in search of elusive nocturnal species like aardvark or porcupine, followed by a cozy dinner under lantern light.

Enjoy your morning coffee at the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, accompanied by the soothing calls of birds at sunrise. Take a final morning game drive during your 3-Day Kwandwe Safari to track any Big 5 animals you haven’t yet encountered. Afterward, indulge in a leisurely breakfast at the lodge before transferring back to Kwandwe’s private airstrip for your onward flight—leaving your mind and soul beautifully rewilded.
