    Overview

    GweGwe Beach Lodge sits snugly on a sprawling 5,000-hectare private concession within the Mkambati Nature Reserve in the Eastern Cape. Picture this: warm sea waters all year round, stunning scenery, and wildlife galore (the friendly kind, of course!) it's like something out of a dream. Think pristine rivers, cascading waterfalls both inland and into the sea, deep gorges, lush grasslands, and serene beaches tucked away from the hustle and bustle.

    At GweGwe Beach Lodge, there is something for everyone. The facilities and communal areas cater to diverse tastes and preferences. Plus, there's a rich tapestry of Pondo culture woven throughout, paying homage to the area's heritage. You'll find a central lounge, dining area, deck, and bar facing the sea, offering a tranquil retreat. And if you're in the mood for a more laid-back atmosphere, Riverside, a casual spot overlooking the lagoon and forest, is the place to be. There's plenty to keep you entertained, from the activity centre and curiosity corner to the kiddie's club.

    Riverside's outdoor deck serves up delicious pizzas and braais, all with a breathtaking backdrop of the forest and lagoon. Need to work off those extra calories? Take in the views from our elevated gym, or unwind in the soothing ambience of our spa nestled amidst the forest. It's the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, all in one stunning location.

    About Mkambati Nature Reserve

    This fabulous reserve is situated along the “Wild Coast” in the Eastern Cape between Port Edward & Port St Johns and must rank as one of the most beautiful coastal reserves anywhere in Africa. Mkambati’s rolling grasslands give visitors the sense of being in the Serengeti – but with the Indian Ocean as the backdrop. There are few places on earth where one can watch a big herd of eland, blesbok or zebra with dolphins and whales providing the backdrop – or stroll along a beach where the only other footprints are from an eland or an otter. The reserve is known for its biodiversity, including various plant and animal species.

    Visitors can enjoy plains game and exceptional bird watching. A large portion of Mkambati Nature Reserve is covered in grasslands, which support a fascinating and diverse flora. Zebra, eland, red hartebeest, blesbuck, reedbuck and kudu dot the plains. The cliffs on the Msikaba River hold one of the largest remaining colonies of Cape Vulture in the Eastern Cape. This colony is also one of the few protected breeding sites in the world. There is a great variety of bird species due to the wide variety of habitat.
