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.
