Warmwaterberg, a sprawling expanse of undulating rock formations,
hardy scrub vegetation and blue African skies, Sanbona Wildlife
Reserve invites one to experience the peace and tranquility of Tilney

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, 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. Specialist guiding is a key
element in providing a memorable and varied experience. The name
Sanbona is a combination of the "San" people who roamed 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 philosophy of
taking care of the small things in life.
