The first and only truly authentic Big Five safari destination in the Western Cape set to open in 2008.

Opening in 2008, Gondwana Game Reserve will be one of the first and only authentic Big Five private game reserves in the Western Cape, located 15km west of Mossel Bay.

Set on 7 200ha dramatic terrain consisting of open grass plains, indigenous Fynbos and undulating valleys surrounded by the Outeniqua Mountains, Gondwana Game Reserve will be uniquely different to any other safari destination in South Africa. The setting is remote yet easily accessible to the Garden Route with its beautiful beaches and some of the best golf courses in the world, and only 3.5 hours from Cape Town. The area is also well known for its moderate year-round climate.

An extensive rehabilitation programme has been initiated, which will include the introduction of the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) onto the reserve by the time it opens to the public. Endangered Cape mountain zebra, grey rhebok, kudu, red hartebeest, springbok and eland have already been introduced. Safaris will be conducted in open game viewing vehicles in the Big Five malaria-free reserve, and horse-back safaris will be possible in a fenced off area of the reserve.

Fynbos Camp will be the first lodge to open, and exclusive accommodation options will include 25 superior rooms and 10 luxury suites. Rooms will overlook two waterholes and across a valley towards the Outeniqua Mountains.
