How They Dazzle Us

A malaria-free, Big Five experience is a treat in its own right, but the truth is it’s the landscape around Sanbona that did it for us. The sheer vastness of the landscape with its alluring stillness and isolation amid raw beauty and boundless plains is what makes Sanbona unique. Guests can enjoy game drives, boat safaris, bird watching, Kids on Safari, and rock art amongst others.

Why We Love Them

There is a lot of great work going on at Sanbona and they have a lot to be proud of. But one of the things that really caught our attention was the way they cared for and looked after some of the culturally non-sustainable features of the resort. We are talking specifically about ancient San rock art that has survived, in some cases, 3500 years. The team at Sanbona go out of their way to share this cultural heritage and history with their guests but they also look after the art, which can never be recreated.

Their Sustainable Superpower

At Sanbona there is a philosophy about educating their guests, in particular their younger guests. They have special programmes designed to both free up the parents for some good alone time, but more importantly to send youngsters back home better educated about their own environment so that when they return home, they see their own neighbourhood through fresh eyes and that allows them to better understand the synergy between Mother Nature and their daily lives. In short they are equipping a new generation of eco-aware humans.
