World Class Venue - please two things to be done
World Class place, front of house top drawer and the Guide we had Clavin was a perfect host - the variation of animals was stunning, the Lodge we had was out of a postcard movie BUT some very easy things would make it a 12/10 experience - we waited ridiculously for a drink when arriving and even longer for food - seldom have i paid so much for accommodation to be so so so so cold in the Lodge....just could not get it warm and people stayed in bed with a blanket on - insane and meant we did nto utilise the wonderful space on offer
Late check in after 3 and the room wasn’t cleaned and room dining its take life time to arrive after 2 hours off ordering food even when they know i have kid with t me ! And its wasn’t safe place we have been sornden by elephants and we where in our car no one tell as instructions out informed us what to do we think its was safe place but really last day i was soooooo scared and I think elephants will attack my family we go speed in our car then when i ask for guidance for take us outside i realize that I should wait the elephants until they walk alone and go far .. so we got lucky!!!!!!
Gondwana was a different game reserve to our first one that we also done on our trip, the reserve is quite open so the plus side with that is that you see so many animals, we got to see lions after hearing them in the bushes eating there catch. We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa which was huge perfect for families. The game drives were great they get up very close to the animals. We enjoyed our stay here.
Our first safari experience which was made especially fantastic by the staff and location. Special mention to Hennie our safari guide who went above and beyond to search for lions for us on tbe last day. An exceptional place doing exceptional work.
It is an INCREDIBLE place! The staff are beyond professional and friendly!! It was the best ever holiday experience of this type. Do yourself a favour and just go! We stayed 5 days, I think 3-4 days are enough. Also go halfboard, slightly cheaper. Full board is just way too much food.
Wonderful location and scenery. The game drives were awesome
Food was good but restaurant service was terrible.
Beautiful Reserve with great opportunities to spot animals. Game drives and our ranger superb. Service at the restaurant and the food quality mediocre at the best (orders missed, chaotic evening bbq, 1 hours wait to have a breakfast etc). This is not acceptable for the price we paid
This place has a huge potential if they get the issues with restaurant solved.

oliver.partnerApr 25, 2022 Just an incredible experience from start to finish. There was nothing I could fault or would change. Can't wait to return!
An amazing stay, beautiful surroundings, abundant game, lovely food and great service. Everyone went out of their way to accommodate us, especially with a young child. Megan was an awesome driver and guide, very patient and informative. Overall, a magical experience and we have been on 6 previous safaris, this was by far the best. Our only complaint was the lack of air conditioning or even fans in our villa. It made sleeping well impossible and should be addressed. They could not locate fans and it is a hot climate with few windows that would open. Doors could not be left open due to free roaming wildlife.
verified t.familyJul 22, 2021 A very nice place to spend time for a day or two watching the animals in the forest in addition to the calm and nature, the staff are very excellent, the best time to visit them is during the summer when the temperatures are moderate and enjoy watching the animals during that time and enjoy the game drive.
Great game lodge that is in driving distance from Cape Town.
All big 5 can be seen free roaming at the reserve. Zebras were roaming right in front of our window one day. Incredible experience.
We had Henning as our guide and he tried to find all the animals for us on the game drives. Sadly we were out of luck to spot the 🦁.
Wow, I want to go back. Absolutely amazing place, people and service.
Two nights at Gondwana...A wonderful experience
We stayed in one of the Kwena huts which was very fitting as part of the game reserve experience. The hut was enclosed, so reasonably private, and overlooked two water holes.
We saw a group of Cape Buffalos wander down to one of the water holes, munching on the vegetation on route.
There were a three hour drive in the morning and evening. The reserve is vast but we saw plenty of wildlife thanks to our guide, Patrick’s, endeavours. Unfortunately, the lions were hiding on our drives, but others had seen them. Watching animals in their own free to wander environment was wonderful to see.
We spent two nights at the reserve and enjoyed every minute
What an incredible game drive and location. It is about 4 hours from Cape Town. The daily views are incredible. They have lots of animals and they go out of their way to show you all of them. The game drive staff are very knowledgeable and the game drives are very very interesting. Would highly recommend!!!
