The Garden Route, South Africa
Kwena Lodge
The Kwena Huts are a modern and very grand take on the traditional Khoi-San bush dwellings and which all loosely cluster around a main lodge that houses the Africology Spa, pool, lounge, bar, dining room and outdoor Boma. The 60m² huts are perfect for couples being incredibly spacious and an open-plan design; one bedroom, large bathrooms and private decking.
Saunter down to the Boma for a BBQ dinner around a campfire and under a canopy of stars, or perhaps dine on your private veranda. Usually a surprise, but the lodge likes to spring guests with breakfast in the bush or a romantic picnic in a sunset spot.

Places to combine Kwena Lodge with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
