Overview & Capacity

Kwandwe is the fly-in exclusive-use play - 30,000 hectares near Makhanda with two lodges, three private villas and its own 2.1-kilometre tarred airstrip, so a leadership group can land on the reserve and never see a public road. There's no dedicated conference room; the format is villa buyout, boma dinners and game drives, which makes it an incentive and board-offsite destination rather than a plenary venue. Fully inclusive luxury, two hours by road or a short flight from the Bay. B&W books it when privacy and a genuine wilderness reward outrank delegate numbers entirely.
