Kwandwe Ecca Lodge

Eastern Cape, South Africa

Malaria-free pristine private wilderness!

Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s pristine Eastern Cape province lies Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, flanking the Great Fish River which meanders through this malaria-free pristine private wilderness. It is renowned for understated luxury, exquisite scenery and the thousands of animals and wildlife that call the Reserve home. These include lion, black and white rhino, buffalo, elephant and cheetah.

The meaning of Kwandwe in Xhosa is “Place of the Blue Crane”, and the Reserve is home to a population of these rare, vulnerable birds (South Africa’s National Bird). The Reserve is also sanctuary to other threatened species including the Knysna woodpecker, Cape grysbok, black wildebeest, crowned eagle and black-footed cat.

Ecca Lodge is a contemporary styled lodge that is youthful,...

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.
