Location
Perched along the lush green banks of its namesake, Great Fish River Lodge has been designed to showcase the endless landscape in which it is set. Large viewing decks allow for a fully immersive experience in nature and are the perfect spot to watch majestic kudu meander down to the river for a drink, or enjoy an African sunset.
Accommodation
Featuring a classic-contemporary style of understated elegance and earthy tones, Great Fish River Lodge is all about tranquillity and solitude. Nine spacious suites feature floor-to-ceiling glass doors, revealing an uninterrupted wilderness, and all have ensuite bathrooms, and an outdoor shower as well as indoor bath and shower. At the main area, relax on the outdoor deck, curl up in the library, and enjoy delicious African-inspired meals in the candlelit dining room or in the boma.
Activities
Twice-daily game drives and guided bush walks accompanied by an armed ranger are included in your stay. Explore Kwandwe’s diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife from the comfort of an open safari vehicle, or step out on foot to discover tracks, animal behaviour, plant life and the finer details of the bush from ground level. A private guide and vehicle is available at an extra charge. Back at the lodge, relax by your private plunge pool on the thatched terrace, or retreat to the comfort of your suite after a day exploring the reserve..
