Kwandwe Private Game Reserve is an unspoilt wildlife haven of 22,000 hectares in the east of South Africa. The scenic landscape is dissected by the Great Fish River that provides nourishment to all its inhabitants. The reserve’s flora is influenced by the breeze from the Indian Ocean, resulting in a variety of brightly coloured lichens and dense vegetation in the south. In the north, aloes stand strikingly tall and in full bloom from June to August.
The reserve lends its name from the Xhosa word meaning Place of the Blue Crane. Bird watchers will delight in the sighting of South Africa’s national bird while wildlife lovers will stare in amazement at the Big Five and numerous other species.
Kwandwe is a mere 160 kilometres from Port Elizabeth, where scheduled flights from all other major centres arrive daily. Those travellers intending on a proper fly-in safari can then make use of the reserve’s private airstrip.
