KWANDWE PRIVATE GAME RESERVE

Eastern Cape

Read about our visit to Kwandwe Game Reserve

Location
Kwandwe Private Game Reserve is located in the malaria free Eastern Cape, almost two hour's drive from Port Elizabeth in the Great Fish River valley. This  22,000 ha of rehabilitated ostrich, sheep and goat farmland, now hosts a wide diversity of the species that originally called this area home, and that includes the Big Five, with both black and white rhino , and cheetah as well, all having been reintroduced.

The massive and ambitious wildlife reintroduction programme at Kwandwe is now complete, with all of the large mammals historically known to occur here, once again roaming free. For the first time in over 100 years, elephant, lion, cheetah, buffalo, leopard, white and black rhino wander free in this rehabilitated wilderness. Giraffe, zebra, Greater kudu and several other antelope are resident and regularly seen. Of particular interest are the many unusual nocturnal mammals which are regularly encountered on night drives; these include the aardvark, the termite-eating aardwolf, bat-eared fox and springhare. This is also the home of the sociable and entertaining suricate meerkats which live in close-knit family groups.
