Sanbona Dwyka Tented Lodge

The 54 000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains, indigenous fauna and flora, rock formations and rock art make this a destination not to be missed. The name Sanbona is a combination of the 'San' people who wandered this area for thousands of years and 'bona' which represents their vision in order to position this portion of the Little Karoo. Be it a journey of rejuvenation and self-discovery or absorbing the various essences and activities, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve represents the true form of the philosophy - taking care of the small things in life.

Dwyka Lodge is the perfect getaway location.

The luxury tented lodge 'Dwyka' is representative of an important Karoo geological formation, and it symbolizes the Dwyka fold which represents a glacial conglomerate of Permian deposits that were discovered in the Great Karoo Basin of South Africa in 1968. Furthermore, it is also a word for 'lioness' in one of the San dialects.
