• Kwandwe Uplands Homestead

Imbued With Old-World Romance

The scenery surrounding Uplands Homestead is the making of childhood dreams. The most remote of the four villas, located in the west of the reserve, the immediate manicured garden contrasts with the African wilderness beyond: sweeping slopes decorated with hundreds of aloes and the tranquil Great Fish River valley stretching into the distance.

Kwandwe Game reserve

In the heart of South Africa’s Eastern Cape lies Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, 22,000 hectares of pristine wilderness stretched out on either side of the meandering Great Fish River.
Renowned for quality guiding, authentic and diverse experiences, and the thousands of animals and wildlife that call the reserve home, Kwandwe offers a range of meaningful activities and accommodation options to create lifelong memories.

STRIKES A PERFECT MIX BETWEEN THE GENTEEL & THE WILD

ELEGANT & REFINED INTERIORS

Built in the early 1900s, the original farmhouse has been lovingly restored to ensure its charm, warmth and character shine through. There are three suites with private verandas and en-suite bathrooms, and antique mirrors and yellowwood chests and wardrobes blend seamlessly with air-conditioning, in-room safes, underfloor heating and other conveniences. The kitchen is the homestead’s heart and soul, where meals are created to be shared by friends and family under the African sky.

ESCAPE AS A FAMILY

HERITAGE & CHARM

Take control of your days with a private safari vehicle, ranger and tracker, and enjoy daily game drives, nature walks, big game walking safaris (tracking white rhino, black rhino, elephant and buffalo on foot) and fishing. Back at the homestead, there is a full size swimming pool and gazebo set amongst rolling lawns, perfect for a spot of afternoon R&R.
