Absolutely incredible experience! The game drive was amazing! We saw lions, rhinos, hippos, elephants, giraffes and even cheetahs. We experienced an amazing cheetah hunt – one time life experience! All animals are looking happy and healthy. Our guide drives sooo close to animals and let us make great photos. We are lucky to have this guide, absolutely great guy! I definitely recommend this amazing place!!

I did not like that there is no option for half board and the timing between the lunch and dinner is short. Like we have the lunch then go to the afternoon drive, then come back for dinner. No rest. It will be much better if lunch then drive then rest then dinner. Or make the dinner timing longer. Other than that, all is great! Also, for families with small children, it is better to have kids club because some kids cannot behave properly in the drive so the parents have the option to put the kids in the club while they are in the Game Drive.

I like how smooth was the check in & check out. Even the way the Game Drive Guides welcome people and discuss with them about the drive. I like the heater in the bed !!!! This was the best in the villa.

To be honest there was little to not like, perhaps just having the same ranger for the entire stay, but totally understand he had a prior family commitment.

Just great, our third visit and delighted to see the place going from strength to strength. Staff are superb, location perfect from Cape Town.

Greg, our guide, was outstanding—he went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable safari experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the trip. The facilities at Gondwana were clean, luxurious, and well-maintained. Highly recommend staying at Gondwana for a top-tier safari adventure!

The weather for the first two game -drives, but we cannot blame Gondwana for that....

We booked Gondwana to celebrate a special birthday with our daughter and her family. It couldn't have been more special;the location, the villa, the "clubhouse", the staff, the food, the ambiance. Everything was more than excellent but the icing on the cake definitely was having Tracy as our game-guide. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions, had a fun personality, was able to spot where specific animals might be and a very good driver on the challenging terrain after the rains.. In all one of the most amazing experiences of our lives, grateful that we could spend this time with our family at such an exquisite resort.

I loved everything

Stylish comfortable villas which blended into their surroundings Lovely food with lots of choice Our ranger Tim was amazing. His passion knowledge and experience was exceptional. His enthusiasm was so contagious. He went out of his way to search out the most shy of animals for our enjoyment. The afternoon we spent with the elephants was incredible and emotional. It is an experience that we will never forget.

I’ve been to several (private) parks in SA but this was beyond. Very nicely set up, yet small & cozy. Excellent staff, a large menu with food (all included) to choose for lunch and dinner, swimming pool with view on the animals (if you’re lucky) and great game drives. We managed to see all the animals in just two drives thanks to our ranger Phil!
