Gondwana Game Reserve (also known as Sanbona Wildlife Reserve) is a game reserve situated near the town of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape of South Africa.
History
Gondwana Game Reserve, located in the Western Cape, has undergone transformative changes throughout its history. Originally established, the reserve underwent significant enhancements under the dedicated stewardship of Mark and Wendy Rutherfoord, it was a collection of cattle and sheep farms spanning 11,000 hectares. The landscape has since shifted from its agricultural roots to feature open grasslands, valleys, and the preservation of fynbos habitats.
Fauna
The Reserve hosts endangered species such as the Cape mountain zebra and south-central black rhinoceros. Many species of antelope, including eland, gemsbok, red hartebeest, bontebok, and springbok, can be found there after their reintroduction to the former farmland. As part of continued conservation efforts, wild South African cheetahs were relocated from a reserve in Karoo to the Gondwana Game Reserve. In addition to the free-roaming Big 5, the Reserve is home to the south-western black rhinoceros, over 10 varieties of antelope (more than the Kruger National Park), and hundreds of head of general game.
