The Gondwana Collection Namibia , mostly just Gondwana Collection or Gondwana , is a company of Nature Investments (Pty) Ltd. based in the Namibian capital Windhoek . The company was founded in 1995 as a nature conservation and accommodation company by long-time managing director Manfred Goldbeck (resigned in mid-2016). It is considered to be the largest private Namibian operator of accommodation .
The company is based on the three pillars of social, nature and finance. The protection of nature through its own nature reserves and the support of the people is an extremely important aspect of the hotel chain .
A complete visual rebranding of the Gondwana Collection took place in June 2014.
With the “Gondwana History” series, the Gondwana Collection also publishes historical books on Namibia.
