Untamed. Untouched. Unforgettable. That is Sanbona Wildlife Reserve – the Western Cape’s premier wildlife destination and a sanctuary for indigenous flora and fauna.
Surrounded by the open plains and rolling mountains of the Klein Karoo, just a three-hour drive from Cape Town, Sanbona boasts three 5-star luxury lodges and promises an exhilarating safari wilderness experience.
Better yet, the wildlife reserve is currently running an exclusive South African Residents special on one of its lodges, with specials on its other two accommodations following suit in the next two months.
With views of the magnificent Anysberg Mountains and overlooking the Bellair Dam, Gondwana Family Lodge is the perfect sanctuary for family, friends and groups, serving an idyllic family safari in style.
Before we continue, why not explore 15 eco-lodges across southern Africa?
This spacious thatched lodge offers guests a sense of modern comfort with a touch of bush authenticity. Twelve suites with interconnecting rooms are equipped with a comfortable sleeper couch, indoor and outdoor play areas and a child-friendly pool to cater to guests of all ages.
Plus, Sanbona offers a Kids on Safari programme at Gondwana Family Lodge. The programme consists of recreational wildlife experiences for the young ones. Interactive Welcome Packs include the Sanbona Activity Book filled with educational and interactive activities to teach children all about the wildlife in the reserve.
Children four years and older are welcome on game drives with their parents, while the Interpretive Trail takes children of all ages through the gardens to learn about important plants and animals on the reserve.
Animal species, which, were long extinct and which were known to have once roamed among the San people have been reintroduced – large free-roaming and self-sustaining herbivores like elephant, rhino, buffalo and giraffe, and predators such as lion, cheetah and hyena. These, along with birds, reptiles, diverse landscapes, geology, San rock paintings, fossils and the fragile beauty of the vegetation, are all part of Sanbona Wildlife Reserve’s allure.
