This is the perfect short break for getting your wildlife fix if you are in a tight schedule. The fact that the glorious garden route is also Malaria-free, means you can easily do this as a last minute getaway. The self drive option from Port Elizabeth Airport to Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, also allows you to take a leisurely drive & stop en-route as you see fit. Kwandwe Private Game Reserves is a Big 5 reserve that overlooks the winding Great Fish River. The game-drives are well planned & when you’re not hot on the trail of the fabulous 5, knowledgeable rangers ensure to keep you enthralled with the fauna & flora that make up the 20, 000 hectare reserve.
- Self drive from Port Elizabeth, South Africa’s second oldest city also known as ‘PE’, ‘The Friendly City’ and ‘The Windy City’. Have lunch along the way in Grahamstown or head straight to the plush Kwandwe Ecca Lodge.
- Safari with The Big 5 at the luxurious Kwandwe Ecca Lodge. Morning, afternoon/evening and night game drives in open game viewing vehicles, guided river walking and hiking, bush sundowners and picnics on the reserve, fishing, rhino tracking, sleep outs, visits to hides as well as bush breakfasts/dinners - weather permitting
