Wildlife

Gondwana Game Reserve is home to lion, white rhino, eland, red hartebeest, springbok, kudu, hippo and Cape buffalo. Elephants move through the same fynbos and renosterveld as the antelope herds.

Field guides reveal this wildlife to guests on game drive in a Cape floral setting. Encounters with white rhino and the free roaming Big 5 stay with you.

Antelope on the reserve include kudu, eland, waterbuck, sable and grey rhebok. Bontebok hold the Protected Area, met on walking and e-Bike ground. Elephants and lions also visit the lodge clearings.

Carnivores range from the small grey mongoose and small spotted genet to caracal and bat eared fox and to lion. Guests can walk with a field guide among the fynbos and look for endemic birds such as the Black Harrier and Orange Breasted Sunbird.

The climate and terrain suit many species that guests see often. Young of zebra, eland, wildebeest and red hartebeest are part of the year on the plains.

Elephants here live in fynbos and renosterveld. The conservation team studies how they graze and forage in this plant world and how the land answers them.

Morning and evening game drives are part of a full board stay. Private vehicles can be arranged through reservations.

Children aged 3 and over can join game drives.
