What a place!!!! An hours drive through mountains on gravel roads is well worth it when you arrive at the Gondwana Lodge. Warmly greeted with iced tea on arrival we were shown to our luxury room complete with terrace and hammock for lounging. Met Gretta our drive expert and off we set to spot cheetas, elephants, giraffes and lots of... More

This was my first ever Safari during my first trip to South Africa and Sanbona came through and exceeded my expectations.

We were a party of 7 and were touring South Africa for two weeks in January and planned a night of luxury and all I can say boy did we get it! The Dwyka Tented Lodges were far more than we could have expected from their polished concrete floors to the divine plunge pools, it was such a romantic and... More
