It was an amazing experience to stay at Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge.  Everything was perfect, the facilities and all the staff  The twice daily safari drives were wonderful, our Ranger had an encyclopediac knowledge of animals, birds and plants.  Truly a remarkable place to stay for that very special occasion.

Kwandwe is a unique place. Nature is amazing  the lodges are Luxurious yet made with natural material. The view from the lodge is incredible you can even see animals from there.the employees are very kind and service is above expectation The safari is  twice a day . The ranger and tracker team was exceptional . We learnt so much from them.We were recommended by people who spent a few days there and we will definitely recommend this unforgettable place.  We spend 4 nights and saw all the animals you can expect.

Exceptional property with amazing staff and excellent game drives

The Great Fish River Lodge offers beautiful accommodations and an excellent safari experience.  We feel that it would exceed the expectations of all first-time safari travelers.  However, we have visited multiple safari camps and lodges in four African countries and would offer the following comments. The photos on their website are accurate.  The location is clean and well maintained.  The linens are high quality.  There are international and USB charging outlets.  Wifi works well.  We really liked that Kwandwe provides free laundry services as many locations now charge an additional fee.  We liked that the camp is unfenced as this provides a more authentic experience.  Safari drives at this location, unlike most we have visited, are in uncovered vehicles that necessitate the use of sun protection. They only drive off-road to view cats. The landscape is primary covered by thicket that can make clear viewing of wildlife difficult.  We did not see the “Big 5” during our visit, however we did have multiple excellent wildlife sighting, including black rhino.  While our guides/drivers were energetic, accommodating and focused on providing the best experience possible, we did not feel the same about the remaining staff.  We perceived the lodge staff to be simply “going through the motions” without focusing on providing first class individualized service to the guests.  The staff seemed tired and “burnt out”.  We enjoyed our stay, but would recommend other locations to our friends.

Great Fish River Lodge - August 2019

Great location and very comfortable place to stay.

Fantastic stay. Great game drives, saw all the animals we wanted, and had excellent service from the staff

This was such a lovely experience, everything from the room, the service and the game drives. The room was perfect, with outdoor pool and shower. Great service in every aspect. The game drives were amazing. I have really nothing negative to say.

The most wonderful experience

Amazing game reserve. Our ranger Marc and tracker Andy went the extra mile to track animals for us. Saw lion, leopard and cheetah at such close range. So very special. We have been to a number of reserves in SA but this was by far the best., Certainly exceeded our expectations.

Amazing game reserve

Utterly amazing, great staff, great game drives, great views! Such a special place and staff were so passionate about the animals. We asked for extra small requests and most were all met and with gusto! Could not recommend this place more! The extra events as part of the tours such as the BBQ and champagne receptions were incredible surprises. We had great rangers and a photographic safari that exceeded all possible expectations - including a post processing tutorial! I asked for help surprising the other half and they did not disappoint!!! Two very minor points, veggie selection was a little limited and the restaurant staff did need to be asked a few times after day 1 but as mentioned these were minor. If you can visit, you must.

Utterly amazing, exceeded all expectations!

We stayed for three nights,had some amazing safari drives and lived in superb style supported by the excellent staff. We had a couple of safari drives where we saw very little in the way of animals but on others had plenty to see. The park at 54000 acres was large enough that you travelled with only seeing the fence line once. We have done about five safari 's like this and would rate this highly but not the best we have experienced but often that is the subject of chance as to particular animal sightings/guides etc
