Kwandwe features individualised accommodation from beautiful intimate safari lodges to sole-use sophisticated private villas to luxury bush tents. In Xhosa, Kwandwe means “Place of the Blue Crane”. The Reserve is home to the protected species such as the Blue Crane and Martial Eagle and a variety of wildlife species including the Big Five and Black and White Rhino. A team of highly qualified rangers will assist in personalising a flexible safari experience. 

Be part of the ‘Save the Rhino’ drive with a specialist rhino tracking safari; enjoy a tailor-made private photographic safari including a complimentary Kwandwe digital photobook; or a private fishing or birding safari with a specialist guide. Providing a stimulating environment for families, Eco-nect activities are aimed at involving both parents and children, in fun and adventurous ways, as they spend quality time together on the reserve. Renowned for the thousands of animals and wildlife that call the Reserve home, Kwandwe is a conservation and community success story with one of the highest land-to-guest ratios in the Eastern Cape.
