Kwa Madwala Private Game Reserve Overview
Kwa Madwala Private Game Reserve, while small in comparison to the neighbouring Kruger National Park, is very much big on thrills.
Home to a vast wildlife population and in close proximity to both Swaziland and Mozambique, the nature reserve is in a prime location, offering its visitors adventure both in and outside of its borders.

About
A stay in the Kruger area too often means that its surrounding game reserves are overlooked in favour of a stay in the Greater Kruger National Park. Kwa Madwala provides its guests with ample reason why this should not be the case. Offering an animal kingdom entirely its own and several experiences that can’t be found anywhere else in the area, visitors may be hard-pressed to find a reason to visit the national park at all. Moreover, the Manyatta Rock Lodge will provide guests with accommodation just as unforgettable as the safari experiences themselves. Let East Cape Tours help you make your Kwa Madwala memories. Book your trip today!
Wildlife & Activities
As a haven to a wildlife population of elephant, leopard, white rhino, giraffe, zebra and many others, Kwa Madwala offers its visitors ample wildlife sightings and then some. The most recent wildlife census has also estimated that the reserve is home to over 220 bird species, including the avian Big 4 and the very elusive Bat Hawk. So be sure to bring your binoculars! Besides traditional game drives and bushwalks (through the reserve and Kruger), Kwa Madwala also offers a host of other unique safaris. Horseback safaris blend the scenery and the game that dwell upon it perfectly. A similar, albeit airborne experience, is a micro-light safari over the reserve. But Kwa Madwala offers a safari experience like no other – elephant-back safari. Guests can take in the landscape and its denizens, all from atop one of these gentle giants.
But an experience at Kwa Madwala does not begin and end with its wildlife. The reserve’s close proximity to both Swaziland and Mozambique means that it is very possible for guests to traverse three countries, all within the space of a few days. The tropical paradise of Mozambique – and all its coastal treasures – is just a short drive away. White sand beaches, tasty cuisine and friendly locals await you. Similarly, the mysteries of Swaziland can also be enjoyed. A day tour will take you over the Maguga Dam wall to a land of ancient rock art and the Ngwenya Mine – the oldest in the world! Visitors can enjoy a tour of glass and candle factories as well as some retail therapy courtesy of the local curio markets.
Accommodation
You might be hard-pressed to spend any time at all at your accommodation. This does not mean it should be any less than stellar. The Manyatta Rock Lodge within Kwa Madwala is exactly that. The lodge offers all-inclusive packages as well as a more flexible choice for guests who prefer a more open itinerary. Situated on a typical African kopje, Manyatta provides breathtaking views of the reserve and plenty of luxurious vantage points from which to view it. The lodge offers accommodation in standard, family and triple chalets, all air-conditioned and en-suite. Manyatta also has a honeymoon suite, ideal considering the reserve’s popularity as a wedding venue. For guests who enjoy a spot of pampering during their time in the wild, Manyatta has a full spa which offers a comprehensive selection of treatments.
