Explore the Gondwana Private Game Reserve on Foot: The Pioneer Trail

Gondwana Private Game Reserve, located in the Western Cape of South Africa, is an 11,000 hectare reserve that is home to the Big Five, including lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos. The Pioneer Trail is a three-day, all-inclusive package that covers a distance of 20km over two days, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the reserve on foot while enjoying luxury amenities and comfortable accommodations.

A Guided Walk with Experienced Rangers

Led by experienced rangers who have extensive knowledge of the reserve and its inhabitants, the Pioneer Trail is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. The pace of the walk is mild, and the trail is available between May and September, with a capacity of up to eight people per walk.

Day 1: Camp East Africa

The first day of the Pioneer Trail is designed to introduce visitors to the bush in a spectacular fashion. Visitors will enjoy a scenic drive to Camp East Africa, where lunch and afternoon tea will be provided. They will get to watch the stunning African sunset while enjoying sundowners on the plains. Dinner and storytelling around the bonfire are also part of the experience. Visitors will spend the night in a semi-permanent tent with a king-sized bed, a proper toilet, a single vanity station with a sink and mirror, a quaint desk, and a bath.

Day 2: Camp Mozambique

On day two, visitors will embark on a 12km guided walk. The walk is designed to give visitors a chance to get up close and personal with Africa’s Big Five. There will be stops for freshly brewed coffee and snacks, as well as a packed lunch in the bush. Visitors will spend the night at Camp Mozambique, where they will enjoy a seafood feast for dinner.

Day 3: Camp Morocco

Day three of the Pioneer Trail will see visitors walking 8km before ending at Camp Morocco. This campsite is the most vibrant of the three campsites and features colourful draping and mosaic lights. Dinner will be served in the form of Moroccan tagines. Visitors will walk through a fynbos biome and may even see an elephant snacking on sugar bushes.
