Experience three days at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve on a 5-star BIG 5 safari - offering an exclusive and unique malaria-free safari, with the option to add a luxury stay in Cape Town’s Green Point, just minutes from the V&A Waterfront. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a premier wildlife adventure and the vibrant “Mother City.”

Day 1: BIG 5 Safari - Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

Guests will arrive at Cape Town International Airport and be transferred by road to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, approximately a three-hour drive away. Upon arrival at your luxury tented accommodation, spend the afternoon exploring the vast landscapes of the reserve.

Sanbona’s open plains, dramatic Cape Fold Mountains, ancient San rock art, and unique flora set the stage for an unforgettable Big 5 safari experience.

Day 2: Discover the Spirit of the Little Karoo

Today invites you to embrace the tranquility and charm of the Little Karoo. Enjoy flavorful regional cuisine and embark on conservation-focused nature drives through Sanbona’s diverse wilderness.

Off-road game viewing, stargazing beneath the expansive African sky, and evenings around the fire, sharing stories and delicious meals, create a deeply immersive safari experience.

Day 3: Your Final Day

Spend your final day soaking up the beauty of Sanbona at your own pace. Enjoy unhurried game drives, peaceful moments on your private deck, or a rejuvenating dip in your heated plunge pool before transferring back to Cape Town.

Best of Both Worlds - Optional

Day 4: Welcome to Green Point - Cape Town

Guests are transferred to the Romney Park Hotel in Green Point. After settling in, you may choose to embark on a half-day city tour or explore the city at your leisure.

Set between the iconic Table Mountain and the shimmering Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town offers a vibrant blend of cultures, flavors, and sights, making your introduction to the “Mother City” both memorable and inviting.

Day 5: Full-Day Cape Peninsula Tour

After a delicious breakfast, prepare for a full-day Peninsula Tour showcasing some of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks. Highlights include the breathtaking drive along Chapman’s Peak, a visit to the African penguin colony at Boulders Beach, and time to explore the dramatic scenery of Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope.

Before returning to the hotel, indulge in Cape Town’s exceptional culinary scene, from Cape Malay classics to contemporary international cuisine.

Day 6: A Day to Explore Cape Town’s Energy

Begin your morning with breakfast at Romney Park before setting out to discover more of Cape Town. Stroll to a nearby market or take a short Uber ride to the lively V&A Waterfront.

Whether browsing boutiques, relaxing at seaside cafés, or soaking in the local atmosphere, today offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.

Day 7: Transfer to Cape Town Airport

After your final breakfast in Cape Town, your luggage will be collected for your transfer to Cape Town International Airport.

What our guests say about Monique

October 2, 2025
Monique Plaatjies is Outstanding!
Monique Plaatjies as she worked to meet our high demands and accommodated our booking when we were firing hotels and lodges one night. Email correspondence and WhatsApps was ongoing as well. Monique has been with us through the booking experiences. I was speaking with 3 other agents and Monique was far the most outstanding of the 3 other agents. Monique went above and beyond for us. Nikita has been fast to turn around email communication and been very clear as well. I would engage Safari.COM again without hesitation and would not seek other quotes. We thank you Monique!
