Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

Incredible stay, everything from food to staff to safari was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay

This was our first safari experienced in Africa and loved every minute. We loved the whole ethos of Sanbona .... they are creating a wildlife reserve that is a true representation of the semi-arid Little Karoo. There may not be as many animals here as on other large-scale reserves further east but we were privileged to see many species, including witnessing lions chasing an Eiland through the gorge. Our guide, Ryan, was wonderful ... SO knowledgeable, calm, funny and totally passionate about the animals and the whole ecology of the reserve; their ethos surrounding sustainability is outstanding. The scenery is both vast & beautiful. Rooms were extremely comfortable, service from all staff excellent; we felt valued as guests, particularly regarding the "extras" we received as celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary; a big "thank you" for that. One small area of disappointment was that the food was a little lacking at times, in comparison to other venues we have stayed on our trip. We would return in a heartbeat!

The property is amazing, eco friendly, 10 star comfort, and food. Friendly and supportive staff. The cottages are incredible!, clean, large super comfortable quarters! very spacious. The Location is spectacular with incredible views. The safari excursions are fabulous. The Guides are great. Our guide Nicole was fabulous, friendly and informative. This is the way to safari!!! Its a must for everyone, especially families! You'll remember this forever!!!

Really love that Place

Exceptional Hospitality

Sanbona was amazing! They are very focused on the conservation of plants and animals, but manage to do this while offering the utmost luxury! We loved our stay at Sanbona!

Unfassbar schöner Aufenthalt! Einfach einzigartig. Zwar nicht ganz günstig, aber dafür ist alles inklusive. Auch die beiden Safari-Ausfahren.

Minha estadia no Sanbona Wildlife Reserve foi simplesmente inesquecível! O hotel está localizado em uma reserva natural incrível, onde tive a chance de ver os "Big Five" em um cenário deslumbrante. A experiência de safári foi excepcional, e nosso guia foi fantástico – extremamente conhecedor, atencioso e sempre garantindo que tivéssemos a melhor experiência. O atendimento no hotel é de outro nível. Desde o momento da chegada, me senti extremamente bem-vinda e mimada. A equipe se dedicou de forma impecável para garantir uma estadia perfeita, com um cuidado constante e personalizado. O restaurante também foi uma experiência à parte. Os atendentes foram extremamente atenciosos. O serviço foi impecável, e a comida era deliciosa. O quarto era maravilhoso, com muito conforto e uma vista espetacular para a natureza ao redor – um verdadeiro refúgio. Fui para comemorar o meu aniversário, e a surpresa foi ainda mais especial: fui recebida com espumante e um bolo lindo de aniversário, um gesto que fez toda a diferença e me fez sentir muito especial. Não tenho palavras suficientes para descrever o cuidado e a dedicação de toda a equipe, bem como a qualidade das instalações – tudo superou minhas expectativas! Se você quer uma experiência única, com luxo, atendimento impecável e a oportunidade de vivenciar a natureza de uma maneira espetacular, o Sanbona é o destino perfeito.

Room and guides were excellent.
