Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is dedicated to crafting an authentic and immersive safari experience that embraces its unique setting. Just 3.5 hours from Cape Town, it spans 62,000 hectares of diverse landscapes in the Little Karoo- an area rich in culture, history, and heritage, and one of the world’s most biologically significant yet threatened regions. Sanbona aims to create a balance where critically important ecosystems, endangered wildlife and flora can prosper. 

Guests can choose from three luxury lodges, each with their distinct charm and character. Dwyka Tented Lodge is an opulent retreat set near the nesting grounds of Verreaux’s eagles. Tilney Manor, designed in classic Cape Georgian style, offers an intimate Karoo escape. Gondwana Family Lodge is a family-friendly haven, complete with a tailored kids’ Eco-Explorers programme. A range of experiences, including nature drives, guided nature walks, ancient rock art, and stargazing, create an unforgettable safari adventure. 

At the same time, Sanbona strives to emphasise and create awareness that true luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand without compromise. Through its unique non-profit ownership model, every stay contributes to conservation, community and positive impact.
