ACCOMMODATION

Nestled within the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Uplands Homestead offers an exclusive-use safari experience that blends historical charm with modern indulgence. A lovingly restored 1900s farmhouse, this intimate retreat is surrounded by manicured gardens and rolling savannah, providing a secluded escape in one of South Africa’s most pristine wilderness areas. Its heritage-rich interiors and timeless elegance make it an ideal hideaway for families and close friends.

Designed to accommodate six guests, the homestead features three en-suite bedrooms, each leading onto private verandas with sweeping views of the Great Fish River valley. Interiors are adorned with antique yellowwood furnishings, polished wood floors, and vintage décor, complemented by air conditioning and underfloor heating to ensure year-round comfort. The spacious yet intimate layout fosters a sense of tranquility and exclusivity, where guests can immerse themselves in the romance of a bygone era while enjoying modern-day luxury.

At the heart of Uplands Homestead lies its interactive farm-style kitchen, where a private chef curates gourmet dining experiences tailored to each guest’s preferences. Meals are served in the elegant dining room, alfresco on the veranda, or beneath the starlit African sky in the boma. After a day of exploration, the cosy indoor lounge with a fireplace offers the perfect space to unwind with a glass of fine South African wine, while the expansive garden provides a tranquil escape.

A dedicated safari vehicle, expert guide, and skilled tracker ensure a fully personalized wildlife experience. Guests enjoy twice-daily game drives, guided nature walks, and big game walking safaris, tracking rhino, elephant, and buffalo on foot. Between adventures, the full-sized swimming pool, shaded gazebo, and sun-drenched terrace invite moments of serene relaxation, immersed in the wild beauty of Kwandwe’s untouched landscapes.
