Kwandwe Ecca Lodge
Kwandwe Ecca Lodge is set in spectacular African wilderness. This unique safari lodge boasts stone-and-mesh walls, sliding glass, timber and gauze doors and corrugated iron roofing. The guest areas overlook spekboom valleys with a backdrop of the distant cliff-faces of ecca shale.
Nestled into a gently sloping, densely vegetated hillside, the Lodge is airy and open with barely a barrier between indoors and the African bushveld.
Kwandwe Ecca Lodge boasts six intimate suites which are ideal for family safaris.
Each suite features an en suite bathroom with spacious, plate glass-enclosed shower, bath, private w.c and twin hand-basins, as well as a sitting area which can comfortably convert into accommodation for children 11 years and younger.
Overlooking rolling spekboom valleys, guest areas comprise a spacious sitting room with fireplace, dining room and bar area and 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.
Experienced rangers and Xhosa trackers will lead you on interpretive, twice-daily game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, bringing you close to Africa’s Big Five. Fascinating nocturnal animals such as aardvark, aardwolf, porcupine, Cape fox, bat-eared fox and springhare are regularly encountered on exciting night drives.
Other activities include guided bush walks in Kwandwe's pristine wilderness bringing you face-to-face with the Eastern Cape at its best.
Fishing is also available for enthusiasts the lodge supports a catch and release policy.
