Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, South Africa
Pack the car and take a drive to the Little Karoo along Route 62, play I-spy and sing-a-long songs and soon, you will arrive at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, the perfect 5-star, malaria-free, family safari destination and game lodge. Take a deep breath and let your hair down, indulge in what nature has on offer at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. By promoting the Little and Big 5 as well as our nature conservation efforts, we are optimistic that kids will return to school enthusiastic to share their stories about their time in the Little Karoo and our effects on the environment. We take great pride in offering families an educational and holistic nature experience at Sanbona, which we hope will inspire a generation of future conservationists for the good of our planet.
