The Gondwana Game Reserve that is home to the Big Five. It is situated along South Africa’s Garden Route, about a 4-hour drive east of Cape Town near Mossel Bay.

The park is the only Big Five Fynbos reserve in the world – a 1,000-hectare terrain of floral scrubland. David’s guide Brian explains:

“Here you will see the Big 5 like the Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino, and the Lion. It is also home to the endangered Cape Mountain Zebra. At the moment, it would be very difficult to see the elephants because it is cold and they seek shelter in the valleys. But when it is warm they come out and people can see them.

There are also cheetahs here, which are also endangered. They are also quite difficult to spot. The Fynbos vegetation supports many of the grazing animals here as well.”

We hope this short video about the Gondwana Game Reserve will get you excited to come and see the amazing animals here for yourself!
