Sanbona Reserve

Sanbona is pioneering the return of 54,000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains in the Little Karoo to its natural state, complete with white lion, cheetah and elephant.

Only a 3 hour scenic drive from Cape Town, the Reserve provides a wonderful opportunity for families to combine a stay in the 'Mother City' with a unique Wildlife experience nearby.
