"Highlight of our trip"

10.0

This was without doubt the best part of our two week stay in the Cape Area. We stayed in the Tilney Manor part of the reserve in one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in. There were only 6 couples in the Tilney Manor so it was very personalised service. The staff including the guides were excellent as was the food. We were only there two nights but packed in so much. We did four drives in the Game reserve and got very close to a host of animals. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone.

"Stay here....you won't be disappointed!!"

10.0

An absolute amazing stay from beginning to end!! We stayed in one of the tents and it was absolutely gorgeous!! The service was top notch and a big thank you to Julio who took such good care of us in the dining room! The Safari's were incredible with Josh as our guide. He had such passion and was so interesting and knowledgeable. My only regret was that we were only there for one night. This was definitely one of the main highlights on our 3 week vacation in south Africa!

"Amazing game reserve "

10.0

We had just the best time at Sanbona we stayed in the Tilney part of which at the most is 12 people it feels very exclusive. Our rooms were just magnificent it was a shame we didn’t have more than one night. The reserve is huge but feels like a proper game reserve hunting for the animals is a true Safari experience. The staff were all very friendly and the game drives were fun. Keep up the good work can’t wait to come back.
