"Our stay at Sanbona was truly magical. From the moment we arrived at the main entrance up to the moment of exit we were treated to wonderful hospitality, service and awesome wildlife viewing experiences. We stayed in Tilney Manor for 3 nights and during that time enjoyed 5 safari drives. Although on the drives we had very cold windy conditions this was a small price to pay to be able to see elephants, giraffes, black rhinos, lions, kudu, eland, klipspringer, oryx, springbok, baboons and even cheetah. All of this was sandwiched between superb meals and wonderful service from staff that make you feel part of the family. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and were treated to extra special touches to recognise this. By staying for 3 nights we were able to skip one safari drive and enjoy the spa facility and the accommodation to the full. All of the staff were exceptional including the staff at the welcome lodge and transfer drivers - one of whom stopped for us to view some Zebra that we encountered as he was transferring us for our departure. This made the day for another group travelling with us as the Zebra was the only animal they hadn’t seen!! Such service and experiences provided by a non profit organisation dedicated to conservation and rejuvenation of the area. What more could you ask. You simply must go!!"

"it was an overnight stay on the way home. I did not stop for leisure purposes."

"Wonderful place with a great mission. Passionate and kind team who go out of their way at every step to make your stay enjoyable and meaningful. The accommodation is very comfortable. The food is excellent. The game drives are thoughtful and eye-opening. This is a beautiful place to experience the incredible nature of Africa and the wildlife for which is it so rightly famous. Special thanks to Manager Pauline for her great energy and kindness. To Nugent who leads the service team with charm and humour. And to Terrence who is uniquely witty, entertaining and informative as he takes you on the incredible game drives. "

"Definitely a one off place, really interesting building, beautifully decorated and furnished. Food brilliant. The owners and their staff were all so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back for a longer stay."

"Lovely find. Off the beaten track. On our way to a Safari about 6 hours off the Garden route, so only stayed one night. Liked it much that we have booked another night on our return to Capetown!"
