This season at Gondwana Game Reserve on the Garden Route, we celebrate the birth of two free roaming lion cubs. These are believed to be the first wild lion cubs born in the Southern Cape for the last 150 years. The award winning, Western Cape Private Game Reserve has embarked on an ambitious conservation project to restore and rehabilitate the 11000-hectare fynbos reserve by populating it with indigenous game. The birth of the two lion cubs marks the success of the efforts implemented to encourage the self-sustaining wild lion pride of Gondwana.
