Kwandwe is the most special place, we had the most incredible time and have memories we will cherish forever. The people are amazing & the rooms are beautifully done and so comfortable. All the food is delicious & you are made to feel very at home. Our guide Jarrod was incredibly knowledgeable & went above and beyond for us. We also saw an incredible range of animals & Jarrod & Ntobeko (our tracker) would track special animals we wanted to see. I would recommend Kwandwe to everyone, we were so sad to leave which is a sign of an epic stay! Hopefully we will be back! Thank you!

It was an amazing experience to stay at Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge. Everything was perfect, the facilities and all the staff The twice daily safari drives were wonderful, our Ranger had an encyclopediac knowledge of animals, birds and plants. Truly a remarkable place to stay for that very special occasion.
