Rooms and Views

Gondwana Game Reserve offers safari rooms at the lodge and private villas like Lehele Lodge, Kwena Lodge, and Ulubisi Residence. Each room provides panoramic views of the surrounding bush and wildlife. The Kwena Suites feature stylish interiors and look out onto a waterhole where animals gather. Some villas, such as the 4-bedroom Bush Villa, come with a private pool and full kitchen. All accommodations include free Wi-Fi, a safe, and a private bathroom.

Dining Options

Meals are served in the lodge dining room with a set menu that changes daily. The food is à la carte, with large portions and options for special diets, including vegan and children's menus. Breakfast is buffet-style, while lunch and dinner offer dishes like lamb chops and stuffed chicken. The bar stocks local wines, champagne, and soft drinks. Packed lunches are available for early game drives.

Leisure and Activities

Game drives run twice daily: a morning drive at 6:00 and an afternoon drive at 16:00, each lasting 2.5-3 hours. Guides track the Big Five (lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopards) as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. Other activities include guided fynbos walks and E-bike safaris (both at extra cost). The reserve has two outdoor infinity pools with sun loungers and umbrellas. The spa offers massages, facials, body scrubs, and manicures. A children's playground and babysitting service are available.

Location and Transport

Gondwana Game Reserve lies 25 km from Mosselbay on the Garden Route. It is a 4.5-hour drive from Cape Town. George Airport is 64.7 km away, and Oudtshoorn is 77 km away. The reserve provides an airport shuttle (pickup and drop-off) for a fee. Accessible parking and valet parking are also available.

The reserve offers concierge service, express check-in/check-out, and luggage storage. Daily housekeeping includes turn-down service. Laundry, dry cleaning, and ironing are available. Babysitting and child services are provided. Business services include fax/photocopying. Security features CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safe deposit box.

“My exploration revealed a reserve where comfortable, well-appointed lodges provide a serene base, often with wildlife right outside. The safari drives stand out, with guides consistently praised for their deep knowledge and skill in locating remarkable animal encounters, even managing the unexpected. Dining also left a strong impression, with evenings around a fire offering flavorful, well-prepared meals.”
