Honeymoons
Kwandwe is the ultimate romantic escape for two, with Great Fish River Lodge offering an intimate setting for your honeymoon. Each suite opens onto a veranda with sweeping views across the surrounding wilderness and Great Fish River, where antelope, zebra and giraffe graze in full view. From private plunge pools and outdoor showers, the wilderness feels peaceful and unhurried. Couples are welcomed with a curated welcome box filled with thoughtful treats, sparkling wine and a voucher for an in-room wellness treatment.
Weddings
Inspired by the pristine surrounds and composed around Kwandwe’s ethos of ‘connected experiences’, weddings on the reserve are highly personalised ceremonies. At Great Fish River Lodge, a purposefully designed boma inspired by a traditional open-air corral can host up to 80 guests for star-lit celebrations and parties. Out on the reserve sandy river banks, escarpment plateaus, and open kopjes provide a choice of magical wilderness settings for smaller gatherings. Multi-day celebrations can feature a diverse array of safari experiences and get-togethers, including game drives, walking safaris, harvest table lunches, spa treatments, and fishing.
