Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

(Little Karoo - South Africa)

General Description
Sanbona is a newly created nature reserve and spa lodge in the Klein Karoo, situated between Cape Town and the Garden Route. Comprising an area of 54,000 hectares, Sanbona is home to undulating mountains and plains, indigenous wild flowers and San rock art. With the arrival of elephant, buffalo, black rhino, cheetah and a male and famale white lion, Sanbona is now home to the Big 5. There is also a raptor breeding centre.
