Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge Attractions |
Kwandwe is yet another example of far-sighted conservation. The dream of American philanthropist Carl de Santis 16 000 hectares on the historical Great Fish River have been restored and restocked with game, including The Big Five - a remarkable feat when you consider how long ago wildlife roamed the area.
Also roan antelope, kudu, springbok and impala.
A paradise for bird watchers, the Fish Eagle and Blue Crane amongst many.
Immensely rich in history, the area was the site of many historical battles between early South African settlers and indigenous inhabitants.
