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!!!

Beautiful game reserve with lots of animals and wonderful fijnbos scenery. This is not "a zoo" where numerous cars cue for the elephant or lion, they have a clear policy about exclusivity and respect for the animals and environment. The Fijnbos cottage was luxurious and well equipped. Please note you can enjoy lunch at the restaurant on your day of arrival (check in at 14 pm) so don't grab something on your way to the lodge. Although the food and service at the restaurant is good, I expected a bit more. Several wines were not available, the braai at the cottage is rather limited in the choice of dishes and ingredients. However, our main reason for booking Gondwana was enjoying nature and wildlife and that was a promise they kept

The hotel and the staff were good except that they have lost one of our bags contains important personality such as a laptop. They moved our luggage to the room, so we reported to the front desk that one of our bags was missing. They said they checked with all the guests to see if they have the bag delivered to them by mistake, but as they told me they did not find anything. Also, they said they checked with the one who brought our luggage to the room but ignored seeing the missing bag. The staff started to blame the pervious hotel even we were sure that the bag was with us when we checked-in this hotel. The next morning, staff were concern about that issue, and they took a written statement about what happened. We then checked-out of the reserve and go from there sadly. About one hour later, they called me saying that they have found the bag. We were nearby and told the one who called me to meet him at the gate of the reserve despite the fact that he offered to meet us at the main road. When we go to the gate we found the bag with the security there. He did not know anything about the incident when we asked him how did they find the bag and how did such a thing happened. Unfortunately, they did not explain to us how did they find it. They did not even apologized for such a horrible action. I really recommend anyone who plan to stay in this reserve is to KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR STUFF. Also, if you are in romantic or relaxation time I suggest you to find another great reserves.

Gondwana provided excellent guided safari's (two per day) with knowledgeable staff. Very relaxing when not on safari, since we could sit in front of our individual "hut" and admire the landscape. No distractions from TV! Warning: Since lions prowl around the accommodation huts, do NOT venture outside once escorted to your hut. On our first night lions were present at the accommodation, which can be a bit scary, although no holiday makers have died at the resort to my knowledge. Also, be warned that there is at least 4km of non-tarmac roads which are okay for 4 x 4s but require great care with normal cars. If you follow the sat nav then you add a further 5km of dirt roads!

The beehive bungalows are spacious and well appointed although the lighting in the bathroom could be brighter. Staff are excellent especially Vital who is outstanding ! The food is delicious as well as plentiful and varied. Game Ranger Lizanne was most knowledgeable and generous with her stops for photos. The terrain is unusual for a Game Reserve in that the flora is a feast for the eyes.... anyone who has not seen South African wild flowers in bloom will be bowled over!

We LOVE Gondwana. From check in, to the game drives, to our lodge and our WONDERFUL guide, Felix, and of course the animals, Gondwana blew expectations out of the park. Will definitely return. We had such a magical and unforgettable adventure. Our guide, Felix, was super knowledgeable and has an innate passion for animals. We loved everything about Gondwana!
