Description:
At the foot of the Warmwaterberg, in the heart of the Little Karoo, lie the 54 000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains that compose Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. It is a place that truly echoes the philosophy of Andulela - taking care of the small things in life.
The stunning property is fast becoming one of the hottest weekend break destinations in South Africa, and is the first private game reserve in the Western Cape to play host to free-roaming big cats. In addition to the big five, Sanbona plays host to a real treasure: the rare white lion, which is bred here under the auspices of a unique conservation programme.
When you’ve had your fill of gamespotting, there are plenty of other activities on offer: trout fishing, stargazing, a wellness centre, and rock art sites. The price includes accommodation, full board and game drives.
