Gondwana Game Reserve (Kleinberg, Western Cape) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"The vast estate that is home to Gondwana Game Reserve contains what feels like several hotels in one: a central lodge with 14 satellite suites, a couple of freestanding three- and four-bedroom villas, and the ultra-luxe Ulubisi House, which sleeps up to eight and comes with its own butler, chef, and guide. The landscape and the wildlife, naturally, are the main attraction — the animals wander freely, and are likely to surprise you when you least expect it — though the lodgings are stylish and comfortable enough to make the experience memorable for all the right reasons." - Tablet Hotels

"A game reserve a few hours from Cape Town that has launched a three-day walking safari; the two-day Pioneer Trail leads campers 15–20 km across open grassland populated by unique plants and wildlife including lions, elephants, zebras and giraffes. Each night is spent at a different camp, where tents include ensuite bathrooms and guests are pampered with delicious campfire meals." - Boyd Farrow
We had a fantastic 3 night visit last week with our family. House was really nice, with a plunge pool which was lovely when the sun came out. Food is excellent and they were able to cater to my wife’s garlic allergy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had Eugene as our guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and went the extra mile to ensure we saw everything we wanted to. Highly recommend Gondwana.

We had a wonderful two days here. From the moment we arrived everything was taken care of. The safari drives were incredible seeing a wide variety of animals. The reserve was stunning with amazing valleys and plains. Our guide Anya was brilliant, so much knowledge about the reserve and animals. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options. Our room was stunning and comfortable. Well worth the 4 hour drive from Cape Town. Thank you Gondwana! X

We did Gondwana on a holiday to Cape Town and it did not disappoint. 4 hours drive from Cape Town may put some people off but it didn’t not feel that long.
The place is amazing and we had Kelvin as our guide. We must have asked close to 500 questions over the 3 days and he answered every single one with professionalism and great knowledge. He made sure we were warm and we got to see all the animals possible. He is an asset for any establishment to have. We stayed in the lodges and they were amazing, spotless and every ask was done quickly! Thanks Kelvin and all the staff at Gondwana for a great 2nights/3days.

We have stayed at Gondwana many times and were concerned that a change of ownership would have changed the charm, atmosphere and facilities etc. However, we were very much surprised and impressed with the changes. The reception and restaurant and additional decking etc. around the pool are much improved and more luxurious. The staff were great, as usual, and exceptionally welcoming. Accommodation was beautiful and clean. (Just a note on the restaurant - the food quality was great but portion sizes were too much for us personally. Some really simple meals for kids / teens would be nice.) Thanks again for a wonderful stay and more amazing memories.

Amazing experience! We stayed at one of the cabins at Lehele. We loved our experience, everybody was very nice and accommodating, and the game drives were incredible, we saw 4 of the big 5 and more.
Our ranger, AJ, was amazing, he had true passion for his job and knew what he was doing. He definitely made our experience very memorable!
The only thing that they can improve on is food which we found it average.
