Nestled at the foot of the towering Warmwaterberg mountain in the heart of the Little Karoo, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve celebrates the spirit of the San people who once roamed this distinctive area. Sanbona and the spirit of the San people welcome you. More than 54 000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains, indigenous flora and fauna, rock formations and rock art make this a destination not to be missed.
One of the true joys of Sanbona is the freedom to do nothing at all in absolute luxury. But for those who choose to venture beyond the comfort of the Lodge, a world of new experiences awaits.
|
Allow Sanbona's qualified rangers to lead you in comfortable Land Rovers, or on foot through the bush to spot a wide range of plants and animals.
Sunrise and sunset trails lead to secluded rock pools and spectacular examples of San art - hidden away between breathtaking rock formations. There are a wide range of easy and challenging routes from which to choose.

Khanni Lodge - set in an oasis
Sanbona's second lodge, Khanni, is named after the San word for Eland - a magnificent antelope revered by the San as ruler of the animal kingdom. Tucked away in a secluded valley overlooking a natural watering hole, Khanni Lodge is an idyllic Klein Karoo summer house, with wrap-around verandas, high lime-washed ceilings and exposed beams providing a feeling of cool, airy space. |
From the verandah and rim-flow pool guests can watch animals visiting the watering hole to drink, and the private verandas of the lodge's four spacious suites offer exquisite views of the surrounding landscape.
Khanni Lodge provides guests with an enchanting choice of settings in which to relax - from the airy dining room and cosy lounge to the outdoor dining patio and barbeque. |
