Kwandwe Private Game Reserve - Great Fish River Lodge

One of Africa’s greatest gifts is the sense of space, and at Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge, the vastness of this wild continent surrounds you. Designed to showcase the spectacular scenery, the lodge offers an effortless blend of indoor-outdoor living across nine independent suites. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fold back to reveal uninterrupted wilderness, while en-suite bathrooms feature both indoor and outdoor showers as well as a luxurious bathtub. Private thatched terraces with plunge pools invite you to unwind while soaking in sweeping views of the landscape beyond.

The lodge’s décor embodies classic-contemporary elegance, with earthy tones creating a serene, understated atmosphere. Pewter and glass add a touch of refinement, while natural elements such as ostrich eggshells, hides, and horns subtly reference the African wilderness.

From the lodge’s expansive viewing decks, watch kudu meander down to the river or spot Cape clawless otters playing in the waters below. The main lodge offers inviting spaces to relax, including an indoor dining room, a comfortable lounge, a library, and a shop. Meals are a sensory delight, served in the candlelit dining room or under the stars in the outdoor boma, where the crackling fire enhances the authentic safari experience.

Whether enjoying a quiet moment on your private terrace or gathering with others on the lodge’s decks, Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge seamlessly blends luxury with nature, offering a retreat where time slows and the wilderness takes centre stage.
