I had the same issue in MacOs Mojave 10.14. I found out that the solution is to install geopandas via pip instead of using conda

pip install geopandas

The problem is caused by incompatibility of the fiona's and gdal's dependencies. Uninstall geopandas via conda. It will uninstall fiona as well. Do conda uninstall geopandas; Do conda install fiona=1.6

Do conda search fiona before hand and see if it is available for your version of python. If not, create new environment for that version of python.(Ex. create -n py35 python=3.5 anaconda)

Then pip install geopandas

Finally, try to import geopandas and see if you still get the error.
