Lehele Family Villas

Remote Safari Getaway for Families and Friends

Gondwana’s Lehele Family Villas offer all the comforts of home, ideal for families and groups of friends. Children ages 3 and older are welcome.  The villas are remotely located with total privacy to enjoy the beautiful Cape environment and passing wildlife. The spacious three- and four-bedroom ensuite villas feature double-volume lounge and dining areas with wood-burning fireplaces, all opening onto a wraparound deck with magnificent valley and mountain views.

Guest Feedback

“Game Drives were just marvellous, Service and Dinner were great, overall experience outstanding, Bush Villa was 15 mins Drive to Restaurant and Reception through the game reserve which we did not mind but enjoyed. Not often you drive Home from dinner past a herd of elephants.”
