Uplands Homestead
Uplands Homestead is set in the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, which is surrounded by 22 000 hectares of exclusive, malaria-free wilderness and featuring 30 km of privately owned river frontage of the Great Fish River.
This Homestead, built in 1905, is a restored farmhouse with an interior design based on 1820’s Settler style. It is for the exclusive use of maximum 6 adults, 1 child and 1 infant (in cot), therefore perfect for families, friends and small groups.

Guest areas continue the Settler style and include a sitting and dining room, farm-style kitchen, air conditioned comfort, outdoor dining under the African stars and an inviting large swimming pool and gazebo. You can enjoy morning, afternoon/evening and night game drives in private open safari vehicle, guided bush walks, bush sundowners and picnics on the reserve, fishing, rhino capture and research, archaeological, battlefield and historical tours to Grahamstown and surroundings. |
