- Michael (10/5): -
- Claudine (10/5): Loved the wildlife - The game drives were fantastic The heating didn’t work
- Sophia (10/5): Fantastic! - Everything was perfect and I enjoyed it a LOT!
- Petra (10/5): Absolut empfehlenswert! - Die Villa war sehr luxuriös, sehr gut ausgestattet und schlichtweg der Hammer!! Das Essen ist top! Location super und etwas besonderes. Die Mitarbeitenden sind mega freundlich und sehr dienstleistungsorientiert. Die Safaris waren wunderschön!
- Karen (8/5): -
- Margret (9/5): Sehr gutes Safari Gebiet - Gondwana ist ein sehr schönes und großartiges Gebiet. Auch wenn man mal keine Tiere sehen sollte, ist die Landschaft unbeschreiblich schön. Wir waren einmal ganz oben auf einem Berg, wo es sehr viele blühende Büsche und Blumen gab. Tiere haben wir viele gesehen. Kurz hinter der Einfahrt wurden wir von 3 Geparden, Giraffen und Antilopen begrüßt. Es gibt dort noch sehr viele Nashörner, die wir immer wieder sahen.Wir wohnten in einem großen Familienhaus, welches sehr gut eingerichtet war. Eigentlich war alles gut. Was uns nicht gefallen hat, war das die Safarifahrzeuge mit 10 Personen zu voll waren. Wenn man dann einen Mittelplatz erwischt, kann man so gut wie nicht fotografieren. Wir hatten das Pech allerdings nur bei unserer 1. Fahrt. Die nächsten 3 Game Drive hatten wir dann als Familie( 7 Personen) allein.
- Beatrice (10/5): Ein absolut tolles Erlebnis - Tolle Unterkunft! Feines Essen, grosse, luxeriöse Zimmer, super Game Drives.
Würden diese Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen. Eher teuer
- Wolfgang (9/5): -
- Heiko (10/5): -
- Blümli (10/5): -
- Karoline (9/5): Ansolutes Muss auf der Garden Route! Teuer aber ist den Preis wert! - Traumhaft schöne Anlage! Alle big 5 gesehen, alle Erwartungen übertroffen!
Essen auch lecker! Sehr zu empfehlen!
- Rachel (10/5): -
- Richard (10/5): Treat yourself - it's worth it - Very modern comfortable, clean and practical accommodation and facilities. Beautiful location and views - overlooking water hole to which the animals flocked throughout the day. Food was good and plentiful but could be a little more refined. Staff were great and helpful. Well organised. You get what it says on the tin! Game drives were wonderful. Our guide (Ruan) was excellent. Very personable , friendly and accommodating. Safari trucks comfortable and clean and suitable for the 2.5/3 hour morning and evening game drives over at times bumpy, rough and steep terrain. Saw stacks of animals incl elephants, giraffe, zebra, lions, wildebeast, buffalo cheetah (albeit at a distance!), impala, kudo, springbok, hippo and baboons amongst others! Fantastic! Happily recommend this place despite being a little pricey - it was worth it. At times food portion sizes were excessive and could be a little more refined.
- Birgit (9/5): Tolle Lage, komfortabel! Mehr Tiere wären toll! - Tolle Lage mit wunderbaren Aussichten!
Wir hatten Kwena Suite Nr.1. Sehr gute Ausstattung, auch wenn man keine freistehende Badewanne benötigt. Schöner Pool, bequeme Liegen. Sehr gutes Essen á la carte.
Freundlicher Service.
Schöne Terrasse, gemütlicher Kaminraum.
Gut organisierte Game Drives! (Es geht um 6h z.B. los, Treffpunkt 5:30h, das reicht auch 10 vor 6!) Warm anziehen!!! Wind kann kalt sein!!!
Sie haben 3 Geparde (toll beim Fressen!) und 3 Löwen( auf 4 Fahrten nicht gesehen) auf 11,5 Tausend ha. Was wir gerne gehabt hätten, wären eine Nespresso-Maschine und Liegen auf der eigenen Terrasse. Nicht nur Stühle.
Man muss wissen, die Tiere sind angesiedelt und meist getrackt.
Atmosphäre im Speiseraum könnte netter sein.
- Kremena (9/5): -
- Lisa (6/5): Okay aber es gibt besserer Safari Game Reserves - Alles super neu & schick! Das Essen war leider nur mäßig, immer kalt und die Auswahl war nicht sehr groß. Dafür aber ein nachhaltiges Konzept!
Unser Guide war nicht sehr kommunikativ & bei Fragen hat er eher harsch statt interessiert geantwortet. Bademäntel und auch sonstige Annehmlichkeiten wie ausreichend Wasser auf dem Zimmer gab es leider nicht - für den Preis hätten wir uns darüber gefreut
- Anna Claudia (10/5): Traumhaft - Tolle Anlage
- Pascale (10/5): Séjour paradisiaque, maison aux prestations splendides, personnel attentionné, nourriture exquise préparée par une cheff - Tout! Le lieu, la maison, le service, la nourriture exquise, l’ambiance, le safari avec Coolman, tout était absolument parfait et exceptionnel! N/A
- Michael (10/5): Schönste und luxeriöseste Safari Lodge ever! - - Weitaus die schönste Safari Lodge in der wir je waren
- Unser Guide „Jaun“ war der absolute hammer -> hohes Fachwissen, nicht nur „Mainstream“, gewissenhaft wenn es darauf ankam und mit der richtigen Prise Humor -> DANKE 🙏!
- Safari Tours jeweils von 0600-0900 und 1600-1900 Uhr (inkl. Kaffeestop von je ca. 20‘)
- Big Five sind hier fast garantiert (haben alle zusammen auf einer einzigen Safari Tour sehen dürfen)
- Mega Essensauswahl in top Qualität
- Super schöner Poolbereich mit warmem Wasser - Gebühren in Höhe von ca EURO 25.- pro Person für zwei Übernachtungen mussten vor Ort noch extra bezahlt werden.
- Thomas (9/5): Geniales Resort mit superkomfortsbler Unterkunft, sehr sehr schönen und langen Pirschfahrten und leichten Sbstrichen bei - Es ist ein traumhaft schönes … ja wie nennt man sowas eigentlich? Hotel? Lodge? Camp? … Wie auch immer, tolles Ambiente, superfreundliche Leute, preislich sehr hoch angelegt, wofür man allerdings auch einiges geboten bekommt. Abstriche würde ich allenfalls bei der Verpflegung machen. Fünf Sterne würde ich dafür nicht geben, allenfalls 3 bis vier. Das Essen ist nicht schlecht, aber es wurde mehrfach nur lauwarm serviert, was wir auf eine schlechte Abstimmung zwischen Küche und Service zurückführen. Ausserdem ist die Auswahl der Beilagen m. E. zu beschränkt und einseitig.
Die Game Drives sind phantastisch, deutlich länger als im Prospekt angegeben und die Ranger geben sich wirklich alle Mühe um das Beste aus einer Fahrt herauszuholen, so dass man wirklich alle Tiere zu sehen bekommt. Den Leoparden/ Geparden haben wir leider nicht sehen können, ist aber garnicht schlimm, dafür war alles andere deutlich über unseren Erwartungen … Wir können jedem nur empfehlen mindestens 2 Nächte dort zu verbringen … s.o.
- Nicole0303 (10/5): - Die Safari ein Traum..das Essen im Restaurant wunderbar..die Landschaft göttlich.. Wir waren in KV2..eine wirklich sehr schöne Unterkunft.. allerdings ist die Reinigung des Hauses wirklich sehr schlecht..wir waren 4 Tage dort und nicht einmal wurden die Bäder wirklich gereinigt geschweige denn das Toilettenpapier aufgefüllt.. für den Preis der Unterkunft ein No Go ..gleiches im Schlafzimmer unten..die Fußspuren vom Vorgänger waren immer noch dort,als wir wieder gefahren sind..bei den Preisen erwartet ich auch in der Hausreinigung sehr viel mehr
- Rentzos (10/5): Best place for safari, relaxation and connecting with nature - Super luxurious and sustainable
- Annemarie (9/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Wir wären gerne länger geblieben - Es war ganz toll und großes Kompliment an unseren Guide, Natasha. Was sie alles weiß und uns alle gezeigt hat, der Wahnsinn. Tolle Unterkunft, sehr sauber, super Frühstück und alle sehr freundlich.
- amjad (10/5): -
- Kremena (9/5): -
- Jennie (10/5): Wonderful Gondwana, do not miss it! - Incredible experience. We could not fault it in any way. The accommodation was luxurious, the food delicious and all staff so friendly and helpful.
The game drives were the absolute highlight! Abri, our guide, was so knowledgeable, entertaining and patient. He went out of his way to make sure that we had a great time, starting early and finishing late to ensure that we had the best possible chance of seeing all that Gondwana has to offer.
Huge thanks to all concerned.
Highly recommended! A stay at Gondwana will not disappoint. We loved everything!

- Adam (10/5): We had an amazing stay with incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes and exceptional hospitality -
- Wim (10/5): Geweldig - Prima georganiseerde safaris waarbij heel veel te zien was met een uitstekende gids.
- Ann (7/5): Our experience was great, lovely welcoming drinks, explanation and safaris. Special thanks to Felix, he made our safari - Design, activity and view.
Special thank you for Felix. He made our safaris memorable and fun. Apart from manager. My husband got stomach upset after dinner and he couldn’t sleep a whole night before morning safaris. We had a long drive ahead and I asked manager if can do late check out, so at least he could sleep 30 minutes before drive. They refused, no medication available at reception as well. We checked in hotel exited and grateful and checked out like completely unwelcoming people.
- Ann (9/5): -
- Ingrid Sciberras (10/5): Highly recommended Private game reserve. - Amazing and helpful staff. Safari guides were very well informed especially thanks to ours - Therien. She knew her stuff and gave us very helpful information on the animals.
- Samira (9/5): Perfekt Safari Erlebnisse - Das Essen wird bei mehreren Tagen Aufenthalt etwas eintönig vorallem wenn man Vegetarisch isst.
- Marco (10/5): - Hervorragende und wunderschöne Anlage, super nettes Personal, die Tiere werden mit viel Respekt behandelt. Unsere Rangerin Anita war super. Wir kommen wieder. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Ivonne S.-M. und Marco S.
- Bart (10/5): Excellent beste verblijf ooit - Alles Niets
- Simeon (10/5): -
- Grace (10/5): Exceptional - We did 3 nights at Gondwana, staying in one of the Kwena Lodges. The property and grounds are gorgeous, and the food is exceptional.
A big shoutout to all of the staff. Everyone was super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Gerrit and Ashley were our game drive rangers during our stay, they were both very knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our drives!
- Asma (10/5): -
- Bernd (10/5): Aufenthalt war sehr gut, Big Five gesehen. - Das Essen war sehr gut. Für uns zuviel, haben ein Mittagessen ausfallen lassen. Unser Ranger Stan was our Man. Hat uns die Big Five gezeigt und war ein sehr guter Guide. Nur zu empfehlen. Die Entfernung von der Logde zur Reception und Restaurant war ziemlich weit, was entsprechend Zeit kostete hin und her zu fahren.
- Marwan (10/5): -
- Britta (10/5): -
- Gernot (10/5): Der Höhepunkt unserer Reise - Wir waren 3 Tage in Gondwana und waren schlichtweg begeistert! Tolle Unterkunft im freien Gelände, die alle Stücke gespielt hat, top- Verpflegung mit sehr gutem Service und ein begeisterter Safari - Guide (herzlichen Dank, Felix 😘)! Da gibt's gar nichts zu meckern!
- Alec (9/5): Wonderful - thank you - The food was excellent and Taylor our game ranger was exceptional - the only small criticism is that you feel the lack of leadership with the tragic loss of one of the owners See above
- Deb (10/5): Everything was fantastic - Fantastic staff food facilities and game drive Nothing everything was amazing
- Rosemarijn (8/5): Tussen de wilde dieren slapen is magisch - Prachtige locatie en geweldig verblijf. Heel schoon en fris. De maaltijden zijn ontzettend zwaar en het restaurant personeel vriendelijk maar erg aanwezig.
- Karmen (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Stellar 5 star game reserve experience! - Our experience at Gondwana was amazing and exceeded our expectations by far. The friendliness of staff, the quality of restaurant and service was splendid. Our daily game drives were fantastic- our guide Björn was experienced and made every encounter special with interesting information. Björn was a standout and made our game reserve experience stellar- tracking cheetahs and lions in the early morning hours and adding a personal touch to our experience. Focus on conservation at Gondwana is fantastic. A BIG thank you to the Gondwana team- we will be back for sure! 🦁🐆
- Anne (10/5): Une parenthèse enchantée - Malgré une météo maussade, ce séjour a été absolument magnifique.
Très grande qualité d’hôtel et notre guide pour les safaris était extrêmement compétent. Une parenthèse enchantée Rien. Tout a été parfait
- Michaela (10/5): Luxus - luxus pur. rießige Villa, mit 3 Schlafzimmern, sensationall groß, sehr schön eingerichtet, tolle Bäder für jedes Schlafzimmer. Rehe und Giraffen direkt vor der Villa. Im preis ist das Essen und die game drives inbegriffen. sehr nettes personal zuvorkommend und sympatisch. Die Rancher kennen das Revier so gut, das man garantierte die Big 5 sieht. Alles bestens organisiert. Frühstück (veganes Omlett und Frensh Toast) waren sensationell. Anfahrt ca. 30 km über Schotterpiste, war sehr anstrengend und nervig (ich glaueb aber es gibt bischen kürzerer Wege). das Essen war exotisch und es gabe mehrer vegane Alternativen, allerdings war das Mittag und Abendessen eher durchschnittlich.
- Ludovicus (10/5): - Super fijn verblijf, hele goeie gids, heerlijk eten. Niks
- Sabine (9/5): - Magnifique Lehele Villa. Safari incroyable où on a vu 4 des big 5. Très belle expérience Aucune information a l'arrivée, on ne savait pas comment rejoindre la réception. Ils devraient nous donner toutes les instructions nécessaires a l'arrivée.
- Matthias (10/5): Top, sehr zu empfehlen - Einfach nur Traumhaft
- Britta (8/5): -
- Rainer (10/5): - Phantastische, großzügige Unterkunft inmitten des Reservats, ca. 7- 8 km von der zentralen Lodge entfernt. Es schauen schon einmal Gnus oder Antilopen durch das Fenster. Die Verpflegung ist sehr gut und reichlich. Unser Guide Theriece hat die Safarifahrten sehr interessant gestaltet und ist auf die Wünsche der Gäste eingegangen. Das Personal in der Lodge war ausnehmend freundlich. Vielleicht etwas zu preisintensiv, aber das ist ja vor der Buchung bekannt.
- Dietrich (10/5): Eine Safari-Lodge der Extraklasse - Toll ausgestattete Villen. Die täglichen game-drives sind erlebnisreich und lehrreich.
- Salman (10/5): Amazing place and perfect adventure ✨️ - The villa was amazing
Beds are super comfy
Our trips and guide were the best 👌🏻 The food quality and the cook master need to be better
- Jassim (9/5): -
- Max Reichert (10/5): -
- Amani (7/5): Fair - The game ride, the reserve, furniture, rooms, lodge overall The guide was not experienced enough. During the ride she only answered questions when we asked. She didn't give us proactively information about the reserve, animals, etc.
Food also need improvement, nothing special.
Going back and to the Villa is with extra charge which was not mentioned prior to arrival and does not make sense (at least guests should be picked up to and from the reception during the meal times for free)
The lighter in the villa not working and we really wanted go light the candles
No tooth past, brush, vanity, lotion in the bathrooms.
The fireplace does not work and was told it is broken in our villa.
- Stefanie (8/5): einmaliges Erlebnis - wunderschöne Lage mitten in der Natur, luxuriöse Ausstattung der Villa, zuvorkommendes Personal, sehr gutes Essen, tolle und fachkundig geführte Game Drives fehlerhafte Allergendeklaration in der Speisekarte
- Nithya (10/5): Amazing and breathtaking! - We had the most amazing stay at Gondwana. The staff were so meticulous and kind. Our guide Coolman is so experienced - we managed to see the most amazing sights - lions, cheetahs and so much more. We wholeheartedly recommend Gondwana

- Sebastian (10/5): Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer!!! - Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer!!! Atemberaubend und wunderschön. Das Brüllen der Löwen nicht nur hören, sondern fühlen!!! Die Tiere sind so nah, der absolute Wahnsinn. Jede Fahrt von der Unterkunft zum Hauptgebäude ist schon eine kleine Safari für sich. Das Team ist unglaublich liebenswert. Hier kann man sich nur wohlfühlen!!! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!! Die Abreise macht traurig…
- Andrea (9/5): Tolles Resort mit vielen schönen und eindrucksvollen Pirschfahrten. - Tolles Resort; zwei Pirschfahrten am Tag, sodass man viele Tiere sehen konnte; sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal; gutes Essensangebot Pool nicht beheizt, sodass er kaum genutzt werden konnte. Wir würden die Unterkunft beim nächsten Mal über einen anderen Anbieter buchen, andere Mitreisende haben deutlich weniger für die gleichen Leistungen bezahlt.
- nico (8/5): -
- Janine (10/5): - - die zwei Pirschfahrten waren beeindruckend; komfortables Fahrzeug; unser Guide Tasha hat uns viel zu den Tieren erzählt und uns sicher durchs Gelände gefahren
- Super leckeres Essen
- Sehr gepflegte Anlage und Häuser; sehr sauber
- bequeme Betten
- Schade, dass wir nur eine Nacht gebucht hatten; nächstes Mal bleiben wir länger
- Lisette (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf en prachtige dieren gezien. Service super goed, wij komen terug - Fantastische ervaring.
- Sergey (10/5): Премиальный отдых в сердце южноафриканского финбоса - Премиальные условия для проживания и общая инфраструктура отеля, идеальная организация всего процесса в течение двух дней, большая и насыщенная животными территория парка. Холодный пол в домиках
- katia (10/5): - Espetacular Excelente
- Essam602 (9/5): -
- Huda (8/5): كانت تجربه رائعه وراح اكرر اقامتي فيها - المكان نظيف والاثاث جديد وغير مستهلك رحله سفاري كانت ممتعه
- Antonio Carlos (10/5): Incrível - O Gondwana é um private game lodge que entrega um serviço de alta qualidade. Desde a recepção até a saída, o tratamento por todos os colaboradores é com muito carinho.
Havíamos reservado o Kwena Lodge, mas por conta de melhorias, fizeram um upgrade para uma casa Lehele Lodge com 4 quartos e um conforto incrível e com uma vista de tirar o fôlego. Além disso, todos os dias as camareiras cuidavam com muito zelo para que tudo estivesse perfeito ao chegar de um game do Safari.
Todas as refeições estavam inclusas, de excelente qualidade e sabores. O restaurante fica em um ponto com uma vista incrível e aconchegante.
E o Safari, podemos dizer que foi o ponto alto da hospedagem, o nosso ranger Ashley foi perfeito nos games que fizemos, conseguimos ver o Big Five.
Com certeza, espero voltar um dia para aproveitar mais tempo.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing! - It’s actually hard to know where to start this place is so incredible! From the usubisi villa which almost left me speechless to the amazing staff and guides. Eugene was our guide and was just so knowledgeable about everything from animals, their behaviour, the flora and fauna too, he was just brilliant. Can’t recommend Gondwana highly enough
- Jood (9/5): كانت اقامة جميلة ورائعة والموظفون لطيفون لكن سعر المواصلات داخل المحمية مبالغ فيه وغير معقول - رحلة السفاري ووجبة الغداء والفطور كانت رائعة سعر المواصلات داخل المحمية مبالغ فيه
عدم السماح للسيارات الخاصة بالدخول
- SHAIMA (10/5): تجربة استثنائية - - تجربة السفاري ممتعة واستثنائية
- جودة الطعام المقدم في المطعم
- توفير اغطية في سيارات السفاري (بسبب برودة الجو) - لا توجد لوحات إرشادية في الطريق داخل المحمية للوصول الى الغرف والبوابة الخارجية للمحمية
- يوجد طاولة وكراسي في الشرفة الخارجية للفيلا ولا توجد حواجز وبعض الحيوانات من الممكن ان تصل الى الشرفة
- سعر الإقامة مرتفع نوعاً ما، لقد حجزنا ليلة واحدة فقط تشمل رحلتين سفاري وكل رحلة لمدة 3 ساعات + قضاء وقت الوجبات في المطعم .. أي ان الاقامة في الفيلا فقط لوقت النوم

- Sebastian (10/5): Ein einmaliges Erlebnis! - Gondwana ist einzigartig! Wir haben lange nicht so etwas besonderes erlebt. Es war einfach alles überragend!
- Andrew (10/5): Incredible experience and will be going back - Incredible location and accommodation. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Couldn't rate it highly enough Nothing
- Amina (4/5): Last year i was happy of all service that why i booked this year but in future i will never thing to book their again as - Safari game and our guide was really good and brace that he let us to see the wild animals and we was soo near to them The price is very expensive compared to the service.
I paid for 2 nights 17k dhs and then the charge to me for transfer from the villa to restaurant as last year there was no any charge
And the food quality is poor in restaurant depending of how much we r paying .. and one day i told them i will take takeaway pistachio cheese cake as we were tired , then when i reached my villa it was wrong and they didn't change it to me even no apologies no change it in same time , as i am paying for all meals and we should get all our meal completely as we were 6 person so 6 cheesecake they didn't give to me and one day they be late to bring lunch as the lady forgot to tell kitchen then they brought on time of safari how he could eat then go directly so they r taking money more for meals but they r unfair
- Hind (10/5): Great experience and loved to come again. - The villa was grate
Facilities are excellent
Staff are professional and friendly
Cars are comfortable
I loved the information that Giving by Mr. SONY , He was professional and have great customer service.
I loved the break with hot chocolate and the view. The food was not so good too salty
Needs more variety
- ABDULLA (10/5): - الاكل لم يعجبني ويحتاج إلى تحسين وتنوع اكثر
- Jean-François (10/5): Gondwana Game Reserve Kleinberg,
for ever ! - Un accueil exceptionnel 👏🏻👏🏾, une attention toute particulière pour l'anniversaire de notre fille ! Avec des chants sud-africains improvisés avec Luyanda et son groupe, autour du brasero dans nuit de Kleinberg, Yebo !
Nous garderons ce moment gravé à jamais dans nos coeurs ❤️🩵🧡💛💜💙🤎🤍 .
Les hébergements sont très typiques des hébergements type safari. Ils sont propres, très confortables et bien équipés, les attentions sont partout.
Nous étions à Kwena Villas à 10 mn du restaurant, d'autres maisons sont un peu loin, bien lire le descriptif lors du choix de l'hébergement. Des navettes peuvent être assurées à la demande, les guides safari peuvent se déplacer le matin très tôt à votre hébergement.
Un safari incroyable où nous avons pu voir le big 4, avec en prime une double attaque de guépards, incroyable !
Cette réserve est immense, les animaux vivent et se nourrissent de manière naturelle, l'accent est mis sur le respect et la conservation des espèces tant pour la faune que la flore.
Hommage 🙏🏻🙏🏾 à ceux qui ont fondé ce trésor naturel, le font et feront perdurer pour les générations futures.
Merci à Natacha d'avoir été un driver au top, une guide tellement réactive à nos demandes, et si bienveillante🩵, merci à Eugène aussi pour toutes ses explications ! Merci à Roschney, Giftin, Wendy et tout le staff pour leur accueil.🩵
On recommande ce séjour Safari à tous ceux qui veulent ou ne peuvent trop s'éloigner de la région du Cap, certes un petit budget mais en all inclusive. Nous avons passé un jour et une nuit des plus intenses en émotions ! Notre 3ēme voyage en Afrique du Sud a été un succès en grande partie grâce à ce séjour. Vraiment juste pour apporter encore une marge de progression pour les clientèles européennes, les plats principaux étaient un peu trop sucrés à nos goûts.

- Julia (10/5): Amazing!! - Absolutely incredible experience! The game drive was amazing! We saw lions, rhinos, hippos, elephants, giraffes and even cheetahs. We experienced an amazing cheetah hunt – one time life experience! All animals are looking happy and healthy. Our guide drives sooo close to animals and let us make great photos. We are lucky to have this guide, absolutely great guy! I definitely recommend this amazing place!! Nothing
- OUDAH (10/5): - كل ما في المكان جميل وكانت تجربة رائعة ان المدة قصيرة بسبب غلاء الاسعار
