Gondwana Family Lodge

Destination

Montagu

Gondwana Family Lodge resembles a typical thatched Karoo homestead. Eight of the twelve rooms are interleading but all rooms have en suite bathrooms with bath and shower, minibar, private patio or balcony, underfloor heating and air-conditioning. The main lodge has a communal rimflow pool as well as a children activity room (with TV & DVD player, games, outdoor play area, spacious lawn) for the kid's enjoyment. Children under four are not allowed on game drives. However children of all ages can enjoy the interpretive trail, with their own guide, through the lodge gardens learning about animals on the reserve. Child minders are also available at an additional cost. Gondwana Lodge has a resident therapist who offers beauty treatments and massages in the 'Relaxation Retreat'. As Sanbona is so vast, it is ideally suited to second time visitors to South Africa, or for clients visiting two game reserves rather than for people who are keen to see as much game as possible in a short period of time. Sanbona offers a more holistic experience where you enjoy the wildlife, plants, birds, San rock art and the extraordinary geology. However Sanbona has the only free roaming white lions in Africa. This exciting white lion project is located in the far northern part of Sanbona. Gondwana Family Lodge resembles a typical thatched Karoo homestead.
