Gondwana Private Game Reserve provides Safari Lodge Accommodation and an authentic African Safari Experience close to Cape Town.

Herds of wildlife including eland, giraffe, hippo, cheetah and zebra can be seen on the majestic landscape with awe-inspiring views of the Langeberg and Outeniqua Mountains in every direction. Indigenous Fynbos vegetation cloaks the undulating valleys, adding vivid colour and interest to a Big 5 Game Viewing and wilderness experience. This Exclusive Safari Park offers guests attentive service, wholesome African Cuisine, inspiring interiors, expert Game Rangers, and an array of activities including Big 5 Game Drives, Mountain Biking, Hikes, Africology spa treatments, and the popular Junior Ranger program.

“We have just returned from an amazing stay with them. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Abigail the tour guide was wonderful. The spa was to die for and so reasonably priced. As a local South African it was worth every penny. Just ask them for what specials they offer. Thank you Caroline Daniel for the recommendation and for assisting with the bookings.”
