Kwandwe Private Game Reserve which lies in the heart of South Africa's malaria-free Eastern Cape near Grahamstown, is a natural conclusion to a journey along the world-famous Garden Route. A victory for far-sighted conservation, 25 000 hectares (62 000 acres) of farmland in the Great Fish River region were restored and restocked with African wildlife. Today, thousands of animals including lion, black and white rhino, buffalo and elephant roam this diverse and fascinating reserve.
Kwandwe offers an exceptional safari experience in a region steeped in history and culture. The Reserve also boasts its own intimate chapel.

Kwandwe aptly means "Place of the Blue Crane" in Xhosa (South Africa's highly endangered national bird) and is home to a population of these rare birds. It offers an exceptional safari experience in a region steeped in history and culture. The Great Fish River was a hotly contested border during the Frontier Wars of 1779 to 1878 between the Xhosa nation, Dutch farmers and the 1820 Settlers from England. Kwandwe's reception building is a Frontier War-era fortified homestead, and the Reserve boasts its own intimate chapel (Malaria-free safari accommodation).
Kwandwe has a bush airstrip on the reserve.
The nearest national airport is in Port Elizabeth, which lies 160 km from the reserve. There are daily scheduled flights from both Cape Town and Johannesburg international airports to Port Elizabeth.
