Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, close to Port Elizabeth, has introduced a new dedicated Celebrations Co-ordinator, along with three elegant safari villas, two intimate lodges, a private airstrip and its abundant wildlife.
Ilze Curling was brought on board to craft creative and seamless celebrations that range from small to large events – accommodating a maximum of 52 people, which is the accommodation capacity of the reserve.
Lunches can be served on the reserve, or a proposal arranged following a late afternoon game drive. Breakfasts in the bush are a great family experience; locally made gin and craft beer tastings can be set up for the adults; and treasure hunts involving reserve landmarks as clues for children’s birthdays.
Wedding in Africa
Kwandwe’s mantra is ‘connected experiences’, with weddings designed to be highly personalised within the open African bush, surrounded by nothing but wilderness – or multi-day celebrations featuring a diverse array of safari experiences and get-togethers.
Cigar and whisky lunches interspersed with game drives, big game walks, fishing and birding for the groom and his entourage are balanced with spa treatments and a harvest table of freshly prepared seasonal dishes and SA’s best sparkling wine for the ladies.
A purpose-designed boma is available on the banks of the Great Fish River with a dance floor and seating for up to 100 guests It says above that the maximum number is 52. There are also smaller settings for smaller gatherings within the 54 000-acre reserve.
The two lodges – Ecca and Great Fish River – as well as the three safari villas – Melton Manor, Uplands Homestead and Fort House – are close enough for larger parties to feel connected but still retain privacy.
The game reserve has a holistic approach to environmentally responsible practices, which is carried through in its style of celebrations. Kwandwe supports local farms, villages and businesses, from food sourcing to preparation.
