Embraced by striking rock formations, Dwyka Tented Lodge epitomises an atmosphere of seclusion.
Just three hours’ drive from Cape Town along the scenic Route 62, Sanbona sprawls across 54 000 hectares of rugged mountains and vast plains. Sanbona is home to an impressive variety of succulents, birds, and wildlife, including the only free-roaming white lions in the world.
Surrounded by spectacular ancient rock formations and on a horseshoe bend of a dry Karoo ravine dotted with thorn trees, Sanbona Dwyka Tented Lodge offers guests a secluded and luxurious safari adventure. A pioneering ambiance envelops guests in this awe-inspiring location, once the domain of Khoisan hunter-gatherers. The friendly staff provides excellent service to ensure guests a comfortable and memorable stay.
Dwyka Tented Lodge’s nine indulgently appointed luxury tents offer accommodation for a maximum of eighteen guests in either king-size or twin beds. The spacious tents have sumptuous open plan bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers. Each tent offers a private secluded deck with a refreshing spa bath, offering magnificent views over the stark, rugged landscape. Small touches, such as an African legend on your pillow each night, are indicative of the great attention to detail of the lodge.
The lodge facilities include an open-air dining boma, lounge with fireplace, satellite television, wine cellar, gift boutique, two spa therapy rooms, and Wi-Fi.
Sanbona offers the Big Five and has the only free-roaming self-sustaining white lions in the world. The reserve is home to a variety of large and small antelope, zebra and wildebeest, giraffe, hippo, cheetah, and small game such as black-backed jackal and caracal. Evening game drives provide the opportunity to see nocturnal creatures, such as the aardwolf, brown hyena, and porcupine.
Activities offered on the reserve include game drives, nature walks, spa treatments, San rock art, boat safaris, and stargazing.

Highly recommend Safari.com and Dolan!
I can't say enough good things about Safari.com and in particular Dolan Sequera. South Africa was daunting to plan for and felt I needed some help. I did a lot of research and chose Safari.com and was matched with Dolan. I had a general idea of the trip I wanted to plan for my husband, myself, and our two children (19, 21). Dolan was incredible. He listened to what I wanted and make excellent recommendations. Then he helped book it all. Our trip was 16 days and we visited Cape Town, an Elephant sanctuary, and Safari. And everything went incredibly smooth - no hiccups. He even welcomed me when I landed in South Africa and checked in along our trip. A couple of times I needed to change transfer times and he responded immediately. I felt confident he would help us if any issues arose. It was a trip of a lifetime for my whole family and I am thankful for the help from Dolan and his team at Safari.com.

Outstanding and professional performance by Pascal John
Pascal John quickly proved his professionalism as well as his in-depth and experienced knowledge of South Africa safaris. He demonstrated the ability to rapidly understand what I was looking for out of a safari trip and how to make that happen. He added real value to the process with his connections to lodging reservations at various lodges and arranged for an itinerary that is not possible to accomplish by oneself on the internet alone. For example, he was able to negotiate away for me a single supplement. He added immediate value and quickly/painlessly everything came together. This includes booking flights, ground transport, lodging and wildlife drives. I can without reservation recommend working with Pascal John at Safari.com.
