How They Dazzle Us

This is something a little different and well worth the effort. Explorer Camp is a seasonal offering from the team at Sanbona – it is the chance to get out and hike in nature, accompanied by expert guides and surrounded by incredible landscapes and wild animals. There is something really special and humbling about going back into nature and this is a great way to experience it. Each day ends in comfort, sleeping in luxury tents and enjoying evenings around a campfire, while the days are filled with animals, birds, rare plants and rock paintings. It is hard not to be dazzled.

Why We Love Them

So much effort has gone into this that it is hard not to love it. It is one thing to deliver a luxury experience at a fixed destination, it is quite another to do so while on the move. A close encounter with one of the big five while out on foot is a memory that will stay with you forever – they are not called the big five for nothing!

Their Sustainable Superpower

There is a lot going on at Sanbona to ensure that the landscape is preserved and that the animals and vegetation that are there are able to thrive. One of their most important successes has been with the extremely rare Riverine Rabbit, a species that even now, is regarded as the 13th most endangered animal in the world. The team at Sanbona have played a big role in restoring this animal’s habitat and allowing it to thrive in the wild once again. They are doing similar work with other species, but none as critically endangered as the Riverine Rabbit.
