Wow wow wow! What an incredible experience at Dywka Tented Lodge at Sanbona! Truely one of the most incredible places I've ever stayed and memories made that will last a life time. Firstly I'd like to recgonise our Safari guide Josh who was so incredibly interesting, informative and passionate about the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve and the flora and fauna within - he made a luxury experience into a magical one. Secondly the team at Dywka were brilliant - they were all so welcoming and friendly - I have particular praise for Earl who really took the time to get to know us and ensure we were having a great experinece. The quality of the food was great and the central lodge and individual tents were all maintained to such a high standard, in a stunning secluded setting. Definitely recommend that you read all the FAQs on their website before going to ensure you are familar with the Safari schedule.

What a memorable experience. Stunning wild location but with all the comforts and luxury of a top hotel. We stayed in Tilney Manor which only has 6 rooms , making it very personal. Staff all very friendly and professional. especially Monica who took a genuine interest in all her guests. Excellent food. Room was huge . beautifully appointed, with amazing views. We received complimentary champagne and chocolates for our anniversary and a lovely turn down for the housekeeping staff who looked after us very well. Game drives were great , our ranger Jan was very knowledgeable and made huge efforts to get us close to animals and see the ones more difficult to find ! We were standing 20 feet away from a family of cheetahs and spent half an hour parked while a herd of elephants fed only a few feet away from our jeep- memories which will stay with us forever

Absolutely everything was amazing about our stay. When we checked in I was unwell from food (elsewhere) and the team were so attentive which was the start of an amazing trip. With their help I felt much better and was able to enjoy the full experience. Food & drink provided is of amazing quality. We stayed in the tents which are exactly as advertised - beautiful views & lovely interior. The game drives are absolutely surreal. Natural beauty everywhere. We felt completely safe & saw so many gorgeous animals. Our guide Joe was spot on, so knowledgeable and really informed us of conservation issues and purpose of Sanbona. We were in South Africa on our honeymoon & Sanbona was without a doubt the absolute HIGHLIGHT of the trip. We still cannot believe how wonderful our stay was. We were recommend a minimum of 2 days!

We had very pleasant 3 days at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. We felt very privileged to have the daily game drives with Josh; to see and become part of his enthusiasm, being able of discovering this beautiful surrounding with its wildlife is a privilege that we don’t take for granted. We loved the time on the game drive and Josh managed the perfect balance between being informative, giving space to enjoy and breath in the quietness of the resort. The hours back at the resort were equally enjoyable. The room is lovely, spacious and there is not much you could wish for more. They provide plenty of food, drinks, snacks, everything was there. What we enjoyed the most was the barbecue night; this was very special. And having a shower with a view and being able to spot some elephants!

Everything was just perfect, starting and ending with the people who did everything and beyond to make our stay memorable. Our guide Christopher was very knowledgeable and experienced, therefore able to find so much game, big and small. The reserve is exceptionally beautiful, especially during sunrise and sunset, when we had our game drives. The food was really exquisite, as well as the local wines which were included. Every staff member, from our guide, people at the restaurant, at the reception and the management where very attentive and friendly. We only missed out on the cheetahs, so definitely coming back one day!
