Guest review
10.0Gondwana offers a fantastic experience for anyone looking for a short Safari within the confines of a private game concession. There is a diverse array of animals to view in amongst beautiful scenery despite being close to Mossel Bay. Our accommodation went way beyond our expectations - a huge 3 bedroom lodge all to ourselves. We loved the 15+ minute self drive to get there! The food at Gondwana is nothing like you get on a typical safari - it’s more like a 5* hotel experience with so much choice (take aways available!). In summary we had an excellent experience
Guest review
10.0Schönes Hotel im Reservat. Sehr schöne und spannende Safaris bei denen man einiges zu den Tieren erzählt bekommt. Die Guides sind auch super drauf und es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht
Guest review
10.0We stayed at Gondwana Game Reserve three nights at Lehele Villas....and it was GREAT. In particular our guide, we luckily got assigned, Sonny, made all game drivers special. No Rushy No Hurry, Patience, and endless knowledge sharing ! Thank You Sonny !!!!!!! ...and of course the entire team makes it so easily to feel welcomed and cared.

Guest review
10.0Simply wonderful. We had an amazing guide, Greg (“The Postman”, because he always delivered!) who answered all our questions knowledgeably. He was simply exceptional and made our stay! A beautiful reserve, with many beautiful species. We had the three bedroom Lehele Villa and it was perfectly clean, and cleaned twice a day. We didn’t join for lunch but the breakfast and dinner menus had excellent vegan options. We particularly enjoyed the Vegan Eggs Florentine. Thank you so much, would love to visit again.
Hervorragend
10.0Sehr schöner Aufenthalt, hervorragendes Essen, guter Service, die Kwena Suites sind sehr komfortabel; die Game Drives waren super, Guide Stan war klasse, hat uns alle Big5 und noch vieles mehr gezeigt und erklärt
