Kwandwe Ecca Lodge

Kwandwe, Kwandwe Game Reserve

Kwandwe Ecca Lodge

Only 2 hours from Port Elizabeth, Kwandwe Ecca Lodge is fun, flamboyant and fabulous, with a 'funk-meets-futuristic-farmhouse' ambience. Situated in the 25,000 hectare malaria-free Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, the lodge is airy, with barely a barrier between indoors and the African bushveld.

Ideal for family safaris, experienced rangers and Xhosa trackers will lead guests on interpretive, twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, bringing you close to Africa's Big 5. Fascinating nocturnal animals such as aardvark, aardwolf, porcupine, Cape fox, bat-eared fox and spring hare are regularly encountered on exciting night drives.

Nestled into a gently sloping, densely vegetated hillside, and overlooking rolling valleys, the main guest areas comprise a spacious sitting room with fireplace, dining room and bar area, and a deep veranda with expansive viewing decks.

Delicious fresh farm cuisine is prepared in the modern, open-plan kitchen and an interpretive centre provides hours of entertainment for children of all ages.

The unique Ecca Lodge boasts a revolutionary design - stone-and-mesh gabion walls, sliding glass, timber and gauze doors and corrugated iron roofing.

The 6 suites each features private plunge pools, an en-suite bathroom with spacious, plate glass-enclosed shower, bath, and twin hand-basins, as well as a sitting area which can comfortably convert into accommodation for children 11 years and younger.

There are 3 triple suites available for familes.
