Overview
THE CAPE'S PREMIER WILDLIFE DESTINATION.
Sanbona is one of South Africa’s largest privately-owned nature reserves, stretching across 62 000 hectares of rich protected ecosystems within two biodiversity hotspots. Situated between the small, historic towns of Montagu and Barrydale, skirting the edge of the R62 highway. The reserve is bisected by the towering Warmwaterberg Mountain, characterised by sculpted 500 million-year-old Cape Fold Mountains. An area rich in culture, history, and heritage, and one of the world’s most biologically significant yet threatened regions. Sanbona aims to create a balance where critically important ecosystems, endangered wildlife and flora can prosper. Sanbona and the spirit of the San people welcomes you.
With views of the magnificent Anysberg Mountains and overlooking the Bellair Dam, Gondwana Lodge is the perfect sanctuary for family, friends and groups. This spacious thatched Lodge offers guests a sense of modern comfort with a touch of bush authenticity. Eco-Explorers programme offers educational and recreational wildlife experiences.
A range of experiences, including nature drives, guided nature walks, ancient rock art, and stargazing, create an unforgettable safari adventure. At the same time, Sanbona strives to emphasise and create awareness that true luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand without compromise. Through its unique non-profit ownership model, every stay contributes to conservation, community and positive impact.
