Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

Activities

• The morning game drive lasts about 2 hours, with covered jeeps and friendly, fabulously well-trained rangers to make it as rewarding as possible. It is not just about large mammals, though you are sure to spot a few zebra and antelopes or bucks of some sort. But the real beauty of this place is in the rocks, the fossils and the incredible concentration of birds and plants, all expertly picked out and explained by the rangers. Seeing the landscape and wildlife unfold as the sun rises is a great way to start the day - though you are allowed to go after breakfast if you prefer!
  
  
• Another game drive follows in the early evening - this time you may see raptors coasting the thermals and blood-red sunsets covering the entire sky
  
  
• In the middle of the day, you can lounge by the pool, read on your veranda, or indulge in an exotic beauty treatment or massage, stopping for a leisurely buffet lunch and perhaps a short snooze
  
  
• Before you go to bed, take a look at the night sky - it's astonishing! Among the milky spread you can make out the Southern Cross, Orion's Belt and various planets, plus lots more through binoculars
  
  
• Instead of, or as well as, a game drive you can take a guided walk to some of the 50 cave paintings hidden in the rocky hills
  
  
• Guests staying at the Explorer Camp will typically have 1 game drive during their 2 night stay. The rest of the package will be spent on walks and treks with relaxation time and communal meals in between
