Gondwana Game Reserve

Set on 11,000 hectares of dramatic terrain, Gondwana Game Reserve holds the distinction of being the only Fynbos reserve in the world with free roaming big five game as well as endangered species like the Cape Mountain Zebra, Black Rhinoceros and Black Harrier among many others. Its breathtaking beauty will soothe and delight you with its endless mountain views and green rolling hills blanketed in colorful Fynbos. The reserve is ideally and accessibly located in the world famous Garden Route just 4 hours drive from Cape Town and 45 minutes from George Airport.

Activities in the malaria free game reserve include game drives with expert field guides in open game viewing vehicles as well as horse-back safaris, bush picnics, fishing, hiking, mountain biking and bird watching in the reserve's 1000 hectare protected area. Children are encouraged to join the Junior Ranger's program while parents enjoy some quiet time or indulge with a spa treatment.

Luxury accommodation awaits you at Fynbos Camp in private bush villas which include 10 superior rooms and 10 deluxe suites (ideal for families) which boast maximum privacy and awe inspiring views from spacious private decks. For the ultimate in exclusivity, the villas can be privately staffed with your own chef, ranger and butler to cater to your every whim.

Fynbos Camp's main lodge and luxury Kwena Huts are due to open their doors in early 2010 and the innovative Khoi San inspired design provides guests with a 180 degree view of the surroundings, an infinity pool, bush spa, and romantic private dining nooks. The stand alone huts overlook two waterholes and a beautiful valley onto the Outeniqua Mountains.

Delicious cuisine is passionately prepared by our international chefs. For an intimate and interactive dining experience, private in suite dining with a personal chef is one of our specialties as well as romantic bush picnics and evening meals in the reserve as the sun dips behind the mountains.

Gondwana also boasts the magnificent Lehele Lodge, which offers guests an alternative venue to relax and enjoy. Its cool organic style provides the ultimate watering hole to sample the fantastic Cape wines at the bar, enjoy gourmet meals in the dining room, and view the abundant animal life from the many outdoor areas. For those who want to stay in touch with family or sport, internet and TV facilities are provided in the interactive library and bar. Lehele Lodge is also available for boutique weddings and corporate functions.
