Just a short three-hour drive from Cape Town, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve brings you closer to nature in the most meaningful way. Set in the heart of the Little Karoo, this exclusive, malaria-free destination offers a true wilderness experience with all the comforts of a high-end safari. From the family-friendly Gondwana Lodge to the romantic seclusion of Dwyka Tented Lodge, there’s a perfect spot for every kind of traveller. Surrounded by vast plains, rugged mountains, and a wide variety of flora, Sanbona is a place where you can slow down and really connect with the land.

Spanning over 62,000 hectares, Sanbona is home to the Big Five and a rich variety of wildlife and bird species. But what makes this place truly special is its deep commitment to conservation. As a non-profit reserve, every stay contributes directly to preserving this delicate ecosystem, and the impact is visible in every part of the experience. Game drives, bush walks, ancient rock art tours, and stargazing aren’t just activities—they’re ways to engage with the wild on a deeper level. Kids can join in too, with tailored activities at the Gondwana Family Lodge that spark curiosity and love for the natural world.

Every moment here reflects a mission to protect and uplift—from preserving endangered species and plant life to creating jobs for local communities. Sanbona is more than a getaway; it’s a chance to be part of something bigger. What began as a bold vision has grown into one of South Africa’s most respected conservation projects, and your visit helps keep that vision alive.
