Kwandwe Uplands Homestead

About Kwandwe Uplands Homestead

Uplands Homestead, in the Kwandwe Game Reserve, is luxury Africa the way the 1820 Settlers saw it. The house is a sole-use villa with three suites each with an en suite bathroom and private verandah. The restored manor has been decorated with rare and beautiful artefacts from the early 1800s when South Africa's first European settlers made their tentative forays into the interior.

Wooden floors, high ceilings, bay windows and a shady verandah that extends to the large swimming pool and gazebo depict a life of elegance and charm. The private butler and chef ensure that every luxury is available and that your private villa is as relaxed and comfortable as your own home.

Uplands Homestead: private five-star safaris

Your personal ranger tailors your safari with you each day and the range of activities is impressive: game drives, night drives, bird watching, bush walks, river safaris, cultural interaction, interpretive historical walks and excursions and captivating fireside anecdotes. The wildlife at Kwandwe Game Reserve includes the heavies: elephant, white and black rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard; you will also see plenty of kudu, springbok, eland, red hartebeest, giraffe and impala. Birding is spectacular with a chance of seeing the Blue Crane and the Fish Eagle is always about, its evocative call echoing through the valley.
