We stayed 2 nights in Kwandwe Ecca lodge and we loved it. Awesome rooms, amazing views, fantastic food (during game drives, breakfast, lunch and dinner), very friendly personnel and magnificent game drives. We were lucky with the game drives, since it was not too hot and we saw a lot of game (Lion, Elephant, White Rhino, Black Rhino, Buffalo, Cheetah,... More

We spent 3 nights at Kwandwe Ecca Lodge in January 2012. What an amazing experience! The service was superb with attention to the smallest details. We enjoyed our butler Sylvia who made the safari experience even more memorable. The food was incredible. The Ecca Lodge was luxurious and clean, important since much of the day on safari involves "down time"... More

A nice and friendly staff made every effort to keep us comfortable during our stay. The lodge itself is great. Large rooms,... More

Relentless opportunities to eat well prepared food although not top restaurant standard but perfectly acceptable. Of course the reason you will come here above all is... More

This was the first time on safari for both my boyfriend and I, and I was very nervous about the experience. However, my apprehension was completed unwarranted as the staff at Kwandwe made us feel not only safe at all times, but pampered as well. Accommodation The camp had 6 small sleeping lodges with a shared dining and "relaxation" lodge.... More

We love going to the bush for Big 5 Game viewing with an open game viewing vehicle and have visited various & Beyond lodges. Not knowing what to expect from the Eastern Cape and Ecca Lodge at Kwandwe, we were pleasantly surprised by a magnificent location, lovely rooms, very knowledgeable and experienced ranger and tracker and a lady called Pakama...
