There is a diverse array of animals to view in amongst beautiful scenery despite being close to Mossel Bay. Our accommodation went way beyond our expectations - a huge 3 bedroom lodge all to ourselves. We loved the 15+ minute self drive to get there! The food at Gondwana is nothing like you get on a typical safari - it’s more like a 5\* hotel experience with so much choice (take aways available!). In summary we had an excellent experience ##### Helen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Simply wonderful. We had an amazing guide, Greg (“The Postman”, because he always delivered!) who answered all our questions knowledgeably. He was simply exceptional and made our stay! A beautiful reserve, with many beautiful species. We had the three bedroom Lehele Villa and it was perfectly clean, and cleaned twice a day. We didn’t join for lunch but the breakfast and dinner menus had excellent vegan options. We particularly enjoyed the Vegan Eggs Florentine. Thank you so much, would love to visit again. ##### Thomas Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riyadh Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Exellent resort ##### Riyadh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Staffan Sep 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing game reserve ##### Staffan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ray Jan 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful location and scenery.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa which was huge perfect for families. The game drives were great they get up very close to the animals. We enjoyed our stay here. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ahmad Aug 20, 2024 Things ##### Ahmad Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just an incredible experience from start to finish.

The staff are beyond professional and friendly!! It was the best ever holiday experience of this type. Do yourself a favour and just go! We stayed 5 days, I think 3-4 days are enough. Also go halfboard, slightly cheaper. Full board is just way too much food. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BFF323D619FE2E65499AA7C17078D900900E50101675042524426.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/589C205E7A1614A02EAB3674CE25CA345B008DC51675042494054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1392D0CA9D3568FFE3B3A8B45E0D9206035CDD5F1675042515054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3AC2028D8AE8844FF5324502F5A034E7D561FAB81675042524870.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Innis Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Waka Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Warm and kind hospitality, natural surrounded with nice air and animals and plants, so relaxed, we think about our one earth. Thank you very much!! One thing that we felt difficult was that everyday hot water was not enough and we, including small children were really cold as we visited in winter; if it were summer, maybe no problem. ##### Waka Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful Reserve with great opportunities to spot animals. Game drives and our ranger superb. Service at the restaurant and the food quality mediocre at the best (orders missed, chaotic evening bbq, 1 hours wait to have a breakfast etc). This is not acceptable for the price we paid This place has a huge potential if they get the issues with restaurant solved. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanja Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### World Class Venue - please two things to be done World Class place, front of house top drawer and the Guide we had Clavin was a perfect host - the variation of animals was stunning, the Lodge we had was out of a postcard movie BUT some very easy things would make it a 12/10 experience - we waited ridiculously for a drink when arriving and even longer for food - seldom have i paid so much for accommodation to be so so so so cold in the Lodge....just could not get it warm and people stayed in bed with a blanket on - insane and meant we did nto utilise the wonderful space on offer ##### Tanja Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### nourah May 4, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Late check in after 3 and the room wasn’t cleaned and room dining its take life time to arrive after 2 hours off ordering food even when they know i have kid with t me ! And its wasn’t safe place we have been sornden by elephants and we where in our car no one tell as instructions out informed us what to do we think its was safe place but really last day i was soooooo scared and I think elephants will attack my family we go speed in our car then when i ask for guidance for take us outside i realize that I should wait the elephants until they walk alone and go far .. so we got lucky!!!!!! ##### nourah Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel Marek Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Schönes Hotel im Reservat.

Es war das zentrale Erlebnis unserer Südafrikareise. Wunderschön fanden wir unsere Unterkunft in einer der Kwena-Villen. Die Ranger, mit denen wir die vier Ausfahrten gemacht haben, waren absolut super und wir haben die big five fast alle gesehen. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Nicht so toll fanden wir das all - inklusive Essen. Da gibt man sich leider nicht so viel Mühe, wie es für so eine teure, tolle Lodge angemessen wäre, sowohl bei der Vielfalt der Auswahl als auch bei der Qualität. Eher mittelmäßiger Mainstream. Unser Sohn bekam vom Essen Magen-Darm mit Fieber. Das Personal, das wir um Hilfe baten war sehr bemüht uns zu helfen. Allerdings kein Arzt weit und breit. Das Team in der Rezeption wirkte bei Ankunft und Abreise unmotiviert und desinteressiert. Die Liegeplätze am Pool sind zu wenige, es war überfüllt. ##### Andreas Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sensationelle Erfahrung - rundum Perfekt organisiert, sicher, sehr schönes Zimmer (Kwena), nettes Team, super Pirschfahrten, alles gesehen, was es zu sehen gibt.
