Kwandwe Uplands Homestead, Kwandwe Game Reserve

Kwandwe Uplands Homestead

Perfect for the sole use of a group or family of up to 6 guests, Kwandwe Uplands Homestead is a sensitively restored 1905 farmhouse set in a remote and tranquil valley in the malaria-free Kwandwe Private Game Reserve.

25,000 hectares of farmland in the Great Fish River region have been restored and restocked with African wildlife, and today, thousands of animals including lion, black and white rhino, buffalo and elephant roam this diverse and fascinating reserve.

In the modernised farm kitchen, Uplands Homestead's private chef prepares delicious Pan-African cuisine and local specialities.

Nothing beats a true bush banquet in a surprise setting under the magical African sky.

With its own dedicated ranger, tracker and private 4x4 safari vehicle, Uplands offers a range of exceptional safari activities in Kwandwe's superb Big 5 wilderness.

Antiques and memorabilia reminiscent of an 1820s Settler home elegantly blend with comfortable, modern finishes.

Three air-conditioned, spacious bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms and private terraces. The sitting and dining areas feature high ceilings, wooden floors and beautiful fireplaces.

A deep and shady veranda leads out to the large swimming pool and gazebo.
