Raised on wooden platforms, the spacious tented suites let in the sights and sounds of the African bush and offer glamourous, light and earthy interiors. Front-facing beds make the most of the sensational Delta views, while a spacious dressing area sits snugly behind the bed’s giant headboard, in between the bedroom and ensuite bathroom, to ensure the utmost privacy. The beautiful bathrooms come complete with indoor and alfresco showers. Game viewing in the Okavango Delta is remote and secluded, with very few vehicles sharing the private concession. Sensitive off-road driving practices allow our guests to get up close to the area’s exceptional wildlife. Afternoon drives continue after night, allowing for an opportunity to see the many animals that are more active at night, including leopard and serval. Lion frequently hunts at night and there is always a chance of coming upon them feeding on a kill. andBeyond’s professionally trained guides will ask you about your favourite wildlife and will do their best to ensure that your preferences are met, whether it is tracking a particular species or spending more time enjoying each sighting, getting to know the habits of the animals. They will also tell you about the vegetation of the region and will explain the behaviour of the animals that you come across. In some cases, the guides will be able to identify individual animals and let you know about their history and habits. The Delta is probably best known for its Mokoro rides. These are boating trips through the maze-like channels and shallow lagoons of the Delta. They are conducted in traditional boats which are called Mokoros. These sturdy boats used to be handcrafted out of large Delta trees. Today most of the boats used in the Delta are fibreglass replicas, to prevent the cutting down and depletion of the Delta’s magnificent trees. Mokoros are a great way to go game viewing. As they are not motorized, they allow you to glide silently through the channels. This allows you to approach the wildlife silently and you will see more, as they are not scared off by a motor. You will see many animals that feed on the grass and reeds on the palm islands such as lechwe, sitatunga, elephant, hippo and crocodile. (seasonal - dependent on water levels) Game viewing is also offered in motorized boats. These trips allow you to cover more ground and should allow you to see more of the landscape, although some of the wildlife may be scared off by the motor. (seasonal - dependent on water levels) Thrill to an aerial view of the Okavango Delta as you soar above a vast maze of both permanent and fleeting waterways. Fly over rivers and pools dotted with lily pads, as well as a variety of wild animals that inhabit this unique habitat. The Okavango Delta is the largest inland delta in the world, the Okavango Delta is the most unexpected wonder – water present in a desert. The broad Okavango River sinks into the dry sands of the Kalahari Desert, creating a lush and waterlogged oasis with crystal clear lagoons and channels, reeded islands and fertile floodplains. Dubbed “the river that never finds the sea”, this magical oasis spreads over more than 15 500 km² (almost 6 000 square miles) and yet is so fragile that, if it were denied water for even a decade, it would revert to a semi-desert. This breath-taking environment constantly adapts and changes with the ebb and flow of the floodwaters that seasonally inundate large portions of the Delta. Although dry for two-thirds of the year, during the winter months the rising floodwaters create a maze of marshes, small wooded islands and shallow lagoons. Water lilies and other aquatic plants flourish in the shallow water, while water birds inhabit the banks of papyrus. As relatively little water can be found elsewhere during this time, the wildlife is drawn to the clear waters of the Delta. On the edges of the Delta, where land blurs with water, breeding herds of elephant splash gently through shallow channels, the long necks of a family of giraffe materialise slowly out of the Delta skyline and graceful sitatunga antelope hide in the reeds. It is a place where you can wonder at the antics of wild dog in the morning and cast a line for tiger fish in the afternoon, wake in the dappled shade of a forest and enjoy dinner beneath the boughs of a massive baobab at full moon. Beautiful little reed frogs cling to the water grasses and a variety of incredible bird species make their appearance, from jewelled kingfishers and bee-eaters to ponderous herons and cranes and solemn-looking owls. Red lechwe scamper through the shallows and wild cat, serval and pangolin can be spotted at night, when the moon reflects off the backs of a family of hippo coming out of the water to graze, turning them into slabs of shining silver. Wildlife The Okavango Delta is home to a large number of species, including some that are specially adapted to the semi-aquatic lifestyle, like the elegant red lechwe and shy sitatunga antelope. Lion prides, cheetah, leopard and African wild dog may be encountered, while hippo resides in deeper channels and lagoons. Honey badgers are observed during daylight hours. Roan and sable antelope favour taller grass in open woodlands and families of dwarf and banded mongoose occupy large termite mounds. Graceful giraffe, with their impossibly long necks, and herds of zebra can be encountered on the floodplains. Lion, as well as other predators, can also be found in the area, particularly in the drier areas. Although predominantly nocturnal and difficult to spot, leopard occurs in the dense forest are the water’s edge. The sparkling channels teem with a variety of fish, while hundreds of bird species, frogs and insects inhabit the reeded banks. PRICE INCLUDES: Luxury accommodation in a Tent All meals Teas & coffees Refreshments on game drive Scheduled activities Emergency medical evacuation Transfers to and from the lodge HIGHLIGHTS Pristine Big 5 wildlife concession borderig on the mOremi which offers day and night safaris with iconic wildlife encounters.

  • Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge

    Fantastic discounted rate at Leopard Mounatin, Zululand, KwaZulu Natal. Great safari voucher specials. Kwandwe Great Fish River Lodge A tranquil and timeless big 5 game lodge perched on the banks of the Great Fish River, Eastern Cape 1/19 Location Kwandwe reserve – 22 000 hectares of prime game viewing country in the heart of the Eastern Cape! DESCRIPTION: 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. 22 000 hectares of land straddling both the north and south banks of the Great Fish River have been converted into an award winning Big Five game reserve featuring a number of stunningly luxurious lodges. Great Fish River Lodge is the flagship lodge of the reserve and features a classic-contemporary style of simple elegance that embraces the lodge’s splendid setting, high up on a steep bank overlooking the Great Fish River. This is a majestic place where you can watch kudu meander down to the river or observe playful cape clawless otters swimming in the cool waters below - all from the comfort of your suite. 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. The end effect is a refined and beautiful look that whispers luxury rather than shouting it. You'll undoubtedly spend a lot of time on the spacious observation deck of your own suite, which overlooks the river. Here, you can unwind in your very own private plunge pool while sipping on wine and watching kudu come down to drink at the river's edge. The en-suite bathrooms, which come with indoor and outdoor showers as well as a large bath (which you may use if you can't bring yourself to shower outside in the winter), are another standout feature. In the summer, overhead fans and air conditioning help you stay cool. At Kwandwe you will accompany a ranger and tracker team on your twice daily game drives in private open safari vehicles – night drives often result in unusual sightings such as the rarely spotted porcupine and the aardwolf and aardvark! Between game drives you can take a closer look at the subtle, unseen wonders of the bush on a leisurely walk. On foot you can explore the dense thickets, which reveal a secret world of lichen, mosses and ferns. The reserve is also a paradise for birdwatchers - in fact the meaning of Kwandwe in isiXhosa is “Place of the Blue Crane” and the reserve is home to a population of these rare and endangered birds. The main lodge echoes the elegance and stylishness of the rooms in all its public spaces, with a large viewing balcony that wraps around the dining room, bar, and sitting area. We adore the fireplaces in the sitting, library, and dining spaces; they're great for curling up next to on chilly winter nights with a steaming cup of Amarula hot chocolate. Dinners can be taken in the elegant dining room, the cozy fire-lit boma, or on your own private viewing terrace under the stars (this is perfect for couples). Deep overstuffed couches and rough natural materials like rock, stone, and thatch mixed with soft-light lanterns create a basic but elegant atmosphere that invites you to linger and converse with other guests. Despite being less than two hours' drive from Port Elizabeth, Kwandwe gives the impression that you are in a remote wilderness area. The 30 km of privately owned river frontage, which greatly enhances the reserve's aesthetic attractiveness and serves as an essential water source for the animals, has to be one of its highlights. The Big Five are free to wander on the 22,000 hectares, which at first housed more than 7000 animals. The ocean has an impact on the broad landscape of Kwandwe, as south-facing hills absorb moisture from the sea breezes, leading to thicker or taller vegetation and vibrantly colored lichens. The slopes that face north, on the other hand, are typically drier and more open, and as a result, they are home to stunning aloes that bloom in spectacular profusion in the winter. A forest-like thicket of Euphorbia trees also grows on the steep, south-facing slopes, where these prickly plants are immune to destruction by most animal species (with the exception of the black rhino), thanks to the deadly milky latex they emit. If you can muster up the energy to take on some more adventures during the day instead of lounging about in your plunge pool, Kwandwe also offers rhino monitoring –you can spend 2-3 hours tracking rhino with the team and learn about the habitats of this threatened species as well as Kwandwe's conservation efforts. You can also take a Flight of the Blue Crane which is an hour’s flight in a fixed wing aircraft over the Frontier Region – or if this is all too hectic for you then you can either unwind and relax with a massage on your deck or enjoy a slow boat ride on Galpin Dam to the moored floating deck for a few sundowners! Everything at Kwandwe takes place on a grander scale, but it is the attention to detail and expansive, unmatched vistas that ensure your game-filled getaway is like none you have ever experienced before!

What Is Siza Safari? Siza Safari stems from some very concerned people in the southern African tourism industry wanting to assist accommodation providers and their staff during these very difficult times brought on by the Covid 19 pandemic. With a complete lock down in the short term, severe long term travel restrictions and possible reticence by people to travel even after receiving official sanction to do so, accommodation providers in our region are faced with severe cash flow shortages. These shortages in turn result in the many of thousands of people employed within the accommodation sector facing the very real possibility of becoming unemployed. In the rural areas where most lodges are situated each staff member often supports up to 10 dependents. Without an income these people may have to rely on bush meat sourced through poaching in order to feed their families. Job losses therefore can realistically be expected to have serious ramifications for both people and wildlife and conservation. While we have every faith in the establishments that we have partnered with surviving these turbulent times, the cost for their staff may be too high. These establishments all have a wonderful offering, a great product and their rooms and experiences are in a class of their own. With the relaxing of international restrictions and the opening of all the accommodation establishments, the properties on our site are no longer offering vouchers, but as a result of the tremendous support that they have had from the local market are wanting to reward the loyalty of the South Africans that supported them by offering fantastic Southern African residents' (SADC) rates. These rates are featured on our side and can be booked via Siza Safari. We look forward to hearing from you. "I HAVEN'T BEEN EVERY- WHERE BUT IT'S ON MY LIST."
