Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve is situated in the Malaria free Eastern Cape; a stone throw from East London, South Africa.The reserve offers varied game viewing with four of the big five and a variety of antelope as well as giraffe, zebra & other predators.

The reserve is five minutes from magnificent beaches and a 40-minute drive from a national airport.  Driving to Inkwenkwezi is a pleasure as the roads are tarred right to the entrance.

The Emthombeni restaurant offers an elegant African dining experience complemented by authentic African decor. High thatched roofs blend with the rich stone flooring creating the ambience of a mysterious and exciting Africa. Meals can be enjoyed inside the restaurant or on the elevated timber viewing deck with glimpses of the Indian Ocean and the African bush. The traditional boma is an open air dining experience set in between indigenous trees enabling you to make the most of the superb weather enjoyed on the east coast of Africa. It has a half roofed bar area as well as a seating area around an open fire.

The Sunset Lapa is hewn from the rocks of the area and covered in thatch. It is set on a majestic hillside with wonderful views of our African sunset. The Lapa has an informal lounge area where a stock of books and games are kept; there is also an indoor fireplace for the colder evenings as well as an open-air fire for guests to gather around.
