SCENIC SURROUNDINGS

One of only a handful of superb small lodges on the private Kwandwe Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, the Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge has arguably the best location.

Nestled on the lush green banks of its namesake, the Great Fish River, the lodge’s huge windows and wraparound viewing decks make the most the scenic surroundings. Whilst here you’ll embark on twice daily game drives, nature walks and big game walking safaris with skilled guides and trackers who will lead you through the game-rich Kwandwe reserve. The opportunity to track white and black rhino, elephant and buffalo on foot is a particular highlight here.

LUXURIOUS SUITES

Back at the lodge, where better to unwind than by your private plunge pool. The nine luxurious suites are decked out in a classic-contemporary African-inspired decor, with earthy tones and foldaway glass doors that open onto thatched verandas. The communal areas of the lodge are built for relaxation, with cosy fireplaces and expansive decks perfect for watching wildlife come down to the river for a drink. It’s also here that you’ll dine on delicious African-inspired meals, both in the candlelit dining room and al fresco in the boma beneath a starlit sky.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with The Ultimate Travel Company – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
Testimonial 4
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
