Gondwana Game Reserve, Private wildlife reserve near Mossel Bay, South Africa.
Gondwana Game Reserve is a private conservation area nestled between the Langeberg and Outeniqua Mountains, spanning around 11,000 hectares. Visitors can watch lions, leopards, elephants, and other large animals moving through their natural setting.
After European settlement in 1652, the land became farmland and lost its original wilderness. The area was later converted back into a natural landscape with native animals.
The animals here allow visitors to experience the original wildlife world of the Cape region as it existed before European settlement. This restored landscape shows how local creatures behave when given space to live naturally.
Visitors explore the land best with knowledgeable guides during game drives or walking tours to spot animals. The reserve also offers spa services, mountain biking, and activities designed for children.
The reserve is home to Africa's southernmost elephant population, with calves born here for the first time in 200 years in the southern Cape region. This return of elephants shows how successfully the wilderness is being restored.
