Uplands Homestead

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, South Africa

Idyllic safari getaways are the perfect place for families to bond and have fun together - and where better than a restored 1905 colonial style farmhouse? Nestled in the verdant Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Uplands Homestead is a sole-use lodge that offers charm and grace.

The first thing that took our breath away is the large manicured garden, adorned with a beautiful pool and charming decking area perfect for leisurely breakfasts and afternoon teas. You’ll then notice the house itself, a grand structure that adds a touch of elegance to the surrounding wilderness. Once a farmhouse, Uplands Homestead has been restored to evoke a sense of history, yet still adds a hint of modernity thanks to its luxurious amenities and creature comforts.

Take for instance the three en-suite suites. All adopt an old-worldly style, with warm neutrals and a bear claw bathtub, yet still have modern amenities including a private veranda and air conditioning. The dining room and lounge are just as spectacular, with antique furnishings reminiscent of a stately Settler home in the 1820s, creating a deliciously cosy feel.

Arguably the best part of Uplands Homestead is the completely tailor-made experience. You’ll have your own dedicated butler taking care of all your needs, a chef to create sumptuous dishes, and a private vehicle and guide ready to take you on fabulous game drives any time of day or night. Bliss.
