Currently one of
the hottest weekend break destinations in South Africa, the name Sanbona,

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is situated
approximately 3 hours from Cape Town between Montagu and Barrydale.
Tilney Manor, once a thriving fruit farm dating back to 1898
has six luxuriously appointed rooms. This exclusivity ensures that
guests can experience personal service and world-class cuisine in an
atmosphere of privacy and tranquility. Comfortable lounges with
fireplaces for winter nights, private verandas, romantic freestanding
baths and carefully sheltered outdoor showers are just a few of the
pleasures that guests can enjoy. More modern comforts include
air-conditioning, satellite television, private bars and tea and
coffee making facilities.
The fully equipped Spa offers guests the opportunity to recover
from the rigors of the outside world and restore their sense of inner
harmony. This is the perfect environment for rediscovering creativity
and regenerating energy. Cape Georgian decor draws on the natural
colours of the surrounding stone and vegetation, with subtle touches
of San culture influencing the design throughout the guest rooms and
conference facility.
Sanbona's second lodge, Khanni,
is named after the San word for Eland - a magnificent antelope revered
by the San as ruler of the animal kingdom. Tucked away in a secluded
valley overlooking a natural watering hole, Khanni Lodge is an idyllic
Klein Karoo summer house, with wrap-around verandas, high lime-washed
ceilings and exposed beams providing a feeling of cool, airy space.
From the verandah and rim-flow swimming pool guests can watch animals
visiting the watering hole to drink, and the private verandas of the
lodge's four spacious suites offer exquisite views of the surrounding
landscape. Khanni Lodge provides guests with an enchanting choice of
settings in which to relax - from the airy dining room and cozy lounge
with its fireplace, to the outdoor dining patio and barbeque
facilities.
A variety of activities are
available to guests who are accompanied by highly skilled guides.
Guiding encompasses game drives to view the Big 5 and a variety
of antelope, archaeological discussions, birding, walks to the rock
art, visits to the dam and presentations on the varied plant
species. Visits to the raptor rehabilitation and breeding
centre can also be included in the birding experience. Trout
Fishing, stargazing and Quad Biking is also available.
Conference facilities are
