Just 3 Hours from Cape Town — Treat yourself to an unforgettable Big 5 safari experience with a 3-day stay at the exclusive Dwyka Tented Lodge at Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. Nestled in a dramatic desert landscape just a scenic 3-hour drive from Cape Town, this all-inclusive retreat blends luxury, adventure, and world-class wildlife viewing, all in one incredible getaway.
Your adventure begins with a scenic three-hour drive from Cape Town to the breathtaking Sanbona Wildlife Reserve.
On arrival, you’ll check in at the luxurious Dwyka Tented Lodge, a 5-star escape nestled in a dramatic Karoo landscape. After settling into your elegant suite, you’ll head out on your first Big 5 game drive, where you might spot elephants, lions, rhinos, buffalo, and leopards in their natural habitat.
As the sun sets over the plains, return to the lodge for a gourmet dinner beneath the stars.
Start your day with an early morning game drive, guided by expert rangers who will help you track wildlife and share fascinating insights about the reserve.
After breakfast back at the lodge, enjoy a few hours at leisure—perhaps by relaxing on your private deck or indulging in a spa treatment. In the afternoon, another game drive awaits, offering more opportunities for incredible sightings.
Later, take in the magic of the night sky during a guided star-gazing session before retiring to the comfort of your luxury tent.
Enjoy one final sunrise safari and a hearty breakfast before checking out of the lodge. Your return road transfer will take you back to Cape Town, bringing you full circle to where the journey began.
If you’ve chosen the optional city extension, you’ll check into a stylish 5-star hotel in Green Point—just minutes from the iconic V&A Waterfront and Cape Town’s vibrant heart.
After breakfast, set off on a full-day Cape Peninsula tour. Travel along the scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive and take in breathtaking coastal views.
Highlights of the day include visiting the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, strolling along the Cape of Good Hope, and snapping photos at Cape Point. It’s a day filled with unforgettable landscapes, wildlife, and the best of the Cape’s natural beauty.
On your final day, immerse yourself in the culture and history of Cape Town with a half-day city tour. Visit Table Mountain (weather permitting), explore the colourful Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, and stroll through Company’s Garden.
The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy—whether that means shopping, dining, or simply soaking up the views around the bustling V&A Waterfront.
