The  Kwandwe Great Fish camps nine spacious and well-appointed suites were designed so that the surrounding spectacular landscape can best be enjoyed. The ideal floor-to-ceiling framed glass doors can be folded back leading to the endless wilderness. The en-suite bathrooms feature a bath as well as indoor and outdoor showers, a separate w.c and twin basins.

The most popular activities enjoyed by guests are the early morning and late afternoon safari drives during which visitors experience up-close encounters with Africa's incredible wildlife which include the "Big Five", namely leopard, lion, rhino, buffalo and elephant. Walking safaris, which are accompanied by armed game rangers, provide a chance for guests to learn more about the smaller creatures in reserve as well as its flora and fauna.

A unique and extraordinary activity is the Rhino Conservation Safari for which a three-night, four-day safari is recommended. At this moment travellers may participate in Kwandwe's rhino-darting and notching programme during which rhino is darted to plant microchips into the horns which are essential for the preservation of this endangered species.
