Gondwana Family Lodge

Unfortunately, not. When on a game drive, it’s important to remain still and quiet, so as not to disturb the animals, which can be difficult for young children to do. And, as safety is our primary concern, no children under the age of four years old are permitted on game drives. But, we do have childminding services available on request, in addition to a host of kid’s activities to keep the little ones occupied while you enjoy your safari.

There are four sets [8 suites] of interleading rooms at Gondwana Family Lodge. Should you require interleading rooms, please advise when making your booking. Please note that these rooms are subject to availability.

Rooms can accommodate a maximum of one cot and one sleeper couch only. Each cot and sleeper couch can accommodate a maximum of one child.

Upon arrival at Sanbona, kids can expect to have the time of their life through our Kids on Safari packages and the Kiddies Eco Explorers programme. With exciting activities planned, interactive welcome packs, and even child minding services on request, mom and dad won’t have to worry about a thing.

In South Africa, tipping is discretionary and entirely up to the guest's satisfaction with the service received. It is customary to show appreciation for excellent service through a gratuity, especially in the hospitality and tourism sectors. At our lodges, gratuities are shared among the general staff to recognise their collective efforts in creating a memorable experiences, while the guides are addressed separately. Should you wish to leave a gratuity, our team is happy to guide you on the local customs and practices.
