More than a ‘Big Five’ wilderness reserve, it’s the vastness of the landscape and isolation amid raw beauty that makes Sanbona unique. Three luxury lodges and an adventurous Explorer Camp nestle in 58,000 hectares of sculpted Cape Fold Mountains and wide-open plains. Dwyka Tented Lodge offers nine luxury tents and the opportunity to experience a huge diversity of indigenous flora, fauna and rare examples of San rock art.

Trip itinerary

Day 1

On arrival at Cape Town Airport you will be transferred by road to your lodge for dinner and overnight. (D)

Accommodation: 2 nights Sanbona Wildlife Reserve (Dwyka Lodge - Tent)

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is a three-hour scenic drive from Cape Town to the heart of the Little Karoo, along the Route 62 – the world’s longest wine route.

At the foot of the towering Warmwaterberg Mountains, Sanbona boasts 58, 000 hectares of sculpted Cape Fold Mountains, wide-open Karoo plains, indigenous flora and fauna and rare examples of San rock art, some dating back more than 3, 500 years, plus a unique boat safari.

More than a Big 5 wilderness reserve, it’s the vastness of the landscape, the alluring stillness and isolation amid raw beauty and boundless plains that make Sanbona unique.

Embraced by striking rock formations, Dwyka Tented Lodge epitomises an atmosphere of seclusion. Nine luxury tents, with private decks and heated Jacuzzis, are set in a horseshoe bend of a dry Karoo ravine. The lodge stands proudly upon the beautifully weathered landscape reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of the Khoisan hunter-gatherers who once roamed this land. Rejuvenate your mind, body and soul at the Relaxation Retreat, which offers an extensive menu of treatments and therapies. Dine alfresco in the boma or unwind in the communal lounge.

Day 2

Enjoy scheduled activities including horse riding, guided walks and nature tours. (BLD)

Day 3

After breakfast you will be transferred by road back to Cape Town Airport. (B)
