Gondwana Game Reserve sits on the Garden Route near Mossel Bay, less than five hours from Cape Town, and offers something genuinely different for golfers whose South Africa plans extend beyond the fairways. The reserve is home to lions, white rhino, elephants, Cape Mountain Zebra, eland, springbok and red hartebeest roaming through an extraordinary fynbos landscape — a setting that puts the rest of the world firmly out of mind.
Accommodation ranges from an eco camp to luxury villas, so the reserve works for different budgets and group compositions within the same trip. Game drives, walking safaris and mountain biking give structure to the days, while a spa offers a quieter alternative for those who simply want to absorb the landscape. Tented bush accommodation is available for those seeking a closer connection to the surroundings.
Gondwana has no golf course on site — it works best as a remarkable mid-trip or end-of-trip add-on to a South Africa golf holiday, pairing the extraordinary game viewing of the Garden Route with the golf courses of Cape Town or the Winelands. Our team regularly includes Gondwana as part of extended tailor-made South Africa itineraries for golfers who want to make the most of everything this country offers.
