About Sanbona
Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, in South Africa’s Western Cape, is not one luxury lodge, but four. Tilney Manor is built around the estate’s original manor house, while Dwyka Tented Lodge offers a futuristic vision of safari-camp life; Explorer Camp’s tents are closer to roughing it, though each still comes with a private deck and a heated Jacuzzi; and at Gondwana Family Lodge, a large swimming pool awaits and wildlife experiences are specifically designed with children in mind. The cuisine is high-end, as are the spa treatments, and wherever you spend the night, you’ll have access to wilderness walks, boat safaris, Land Cruiser game drives, and stargazing tours.
