Set in a lush valley in the remote southern part of the reserve, Galpin gazes east toward Galpin Dam. The four tents are raised on stilts and offer beautiful views across the terrain. Designed to be immersed in nature, the quiet, calm setting allows your spirit to drift in time with the rhythms of the wilderness and provides a genuine escape from the trappings of the modern world.
Striking the balance between comfort and adventure, the well-appointed tents provide an ideal setting for the Into the Wild four-night experience. Each tent has a shady outdoor veranda for afternoon wildlife-watching and indoor and outdoor solar showers. Campfire cuisine, enormous skies and unspoiled quietness make for a genuinely African safari experience – and there is no Wi-Fi to distract you from your surroundings.
Galpin is the home of the four-night Into the Wild experience. Your days are geared around exploring the wilderness on walks, completely undisturbed, and forming a connection to the landscape. Activities include getting involved in hands-on conservation work and the behind-the-scenes of running a game reserve, a large animal immobilisation, and learning to read and identify the signs of the bush. If desired, extra safari and specialist activities may be built into the experience; please enquire for details.
The nearest national airport is in Port Elizabeth, which lies 160 km (100 miles) from the reserve. There are daily scheduled flights from both Cape Town and Johannesburg international airports to Port Elizabeth. From there, it is 2 hours by road to Kwandwe Private Game Reserve. The reserve also has a private airstrip; please enquire for details on charter flights and GPS coordinates.
