Kwandwe Uplands Homestead detail

The Uplands Homestead lies at the heart of South Africa's Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, 22,000 hectares (54,000 acres) of beautiful wilderness stretched out on either side of the Great Fish River. This safari destination is a natural conclusion to a vacation along the world-famous Garden Route.

Located in the malaria-free Eastern Cape province, this diverse and fascinating reserve has been restored and restocked with classic African wildlife. Kwandwe is a conservation success story that includes reclaiming areas of intense agriculture, reintroducing more than 7 000 wild animals (including elephant, black and white rhino, lion, leopard, and cheetah), and providing a refuge for sensitive, sub-tropical thicket vegetation.

Uplands Homestead is perfect for families who want space for their kids to run around, or for small groups seeking privacy. A sensitively restored 1905 farmhouse, it has a lovely old-world feel and its grounds are fenced for peace of mind. Laze around the garden, cool off in the large swimming pool or make use of your private ranger and 4x4 safari vehicle to explore the private game reserve in search of the Big 5 and other fascinating wildlife.

Exclusive Use

Accommodating up to six guests, Uplands Homestead is a restored 1905 farmhouse featuring three spacious en suite bedrooms with private terraces. Facilities range from an in-room safe and Wi-Fi to antique mirrors and Victorian claw-foot tubs in the bathrooms.

Facilities

It's a personalized experience at Uplands: in discussion with your ranger, you'll determine the length and the route of your game drives into Kwande Private Game Reserve on your own private 4x4 safari vehicle while your chef and butler will take care of your needs back at the Uplands Homestead. Relax in the lodge's wonderful gardens in between activities and make use of the large swimming pool.

Dining

The Uplands Homestead's private chef prepares delicious family dishes as well as local specialties in the modernized farm kitchen. The lodge's elegant dining areas feature high ceilings, wooden floors, and beautiful fireplaces but for an unforgettable culinary experience, nothing beats a true bush banquet in a surprise outdoor setting under the African sky.
