I was privileged to sit with this beautiful family of Lions for over an hour and a half, except for their 3 new cubs, who were hidden from us. They had killed a Blue Wildebeest in the early hours of the morning and were now ‘picking’ on the last remains. They were all very chilled and took chances getting the last bits off the animal. The interaction between each of them was something I have never had the opportunity of watching. Totally privileged….!!!

Stay at Gondwana Game Reserve
 |
 |
Set amidst rolling hills and indigenous fynbos, Gondwana started six years ago with Mark and Wendy Rutherfoord''s dream of transforming cattle and sheep farms into an 11 000-hectare eco-safari destination. Only 4 hours from Cape Town along the Garden Route, and now restored to its natural beauty of open grasslands, undulating valleys and fynbos.
