Why it's worth your time
Located on the Garden Route, Gondwana is a malaria-free reserve set within a unique fynbos ecosystem. It offers a distinct visual experience compared to the traditional bushveld of the north.
What we love
The dramatic mountain backdrops and fynbos vegetation.
What to know
The terrain is hilly, which can make spotting smaller animals more challenging.
