Located in the heart of the Western Cape, Gondwana Game Reserve offers a tranquil retreat combined with the excitement of wildlife viewing. Located on 11,000 hectares of rugged beauty, the reserve is home to the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino – along with an array of other wildlife and bird species. For a truly enriching experience, we recommend a 3-night stay at Gondwana Game Reserve. This duration allows you to fully appreciate the diverse activities and explore the vast landscapes at a relaxed pace. Enjoy multiple game drives, engage in bush walks, and perhaps even indulge in a spa day. Three nights give you the chance to unwind and truly connect with the natural beauty around you.
