Menu

Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge lies on a vast private reserve in the Great Fish River Valley in South Africa's Eastern Cape where previously barren farmland has been rehabilitated into pristine bushveld, home to the Big Five.  The Lodge offers just nine luxurious thatched suites, each with its own plunge pool and observation deck, all linked to the lodge by wooden walkways, perfectly positioned high above the meandering Great Fish River where hippos and other wildlife can be seen. The Lodge is ideal for couples seeking privacy, luxury and an outstanding wildlife safari experience within easy reach of the Cape and Garden Route.
