Kwantu Private Game Reserve and Elephant Sanctuary.

Nestled in the middle of the N2 between Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape lies a truly unique catered Game Reserve that holds the Big Five.

Five star rated it boasts 3 unique lodging options with conference and reception facilities, fame of this establishment im sure is is equally shared for its tantalising gourmet food on offer in 3 – 5 courses.

Kwantu also has a touch farm with pony rides for the little ones and a predator camp with rare White lions and Bengal tigers for truly spectacular upclose viewing.

The entrance to the game reserve is a short 10km off the N2.

The reception lies inside Pollards Inn Hotel where a warm welcome is given complete with heated towels.

Light breakfast before the game drive.

I couldn’t help but think of Jurassic Park as the 4×4 rolled off to the double electric fencing opening into the game reserve.

Wildebees and a variety of buck are plentiful.

These pair of hornless Rhino’s are survivors from a vicious Rhino horn poaching attack.

The Hippopotamus briefly came up to take a peek.

The original Pollards Hotel.

That’s the original N2 to Cape Town as it was from the 1800’s. Amazing.

As-salaam Asad.

The buffet lunch.

The Lodge and Honeymoon Suite.

The Predator Camp.

A short walk from Pollards Inn pass the Post Office to the Predator Camp.

The Kwantu Elephant Sanctuary.

Conveniently situated directly off the N2, travellers wishing to interact and ride an elephant may do so.

My first ever elephant ride. From Jurassic Park to Indiana Jones.
