Located 3.7 miles from Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, HighlandsView provides accommodations with a garden, a terrace and a shared kitchen for your convenience.

This is the perfect spot for an off-the-beaten-track, close-to-nature experience. The accommodation in glamping tents is very comfortable and each tent has an amazing view of valleys and mountains. We loved the small finishing touches in the tent. The shared kitchen and BBQ area are very well equiped. A real highlight of our stay was the walk through the indigenous forest and neighbouring nature reserve. Our hosts, Hilary and Andrew, could not have been more welcoming or informative!

    This is an excellent luxury safari. The food is brilliant and the staff are amazing. We really enjoyed the game drives and saw plenty of animals, in particular, a cheetah feeding on a springbok she had just killed. Our guide, Jordan, was very knowledgeable and made sure each game drive was worthwhile. We stayed in Dwyka Lodge and the rooms were beautiful with a very private terrace which had a plunge pool

    Perfect Safari experience on the private game reserve. We nearly saw all of the Big 5 and many other animals. The animals are in general very relaxed because Sanbona is a non profit organization and therefore the pressure on the animals is held on a low level with limited people and trucks. The ranger was well educated and taught us many interesting things. The tented lodge was very beautiful. Highly recommendable!

    This was our first time in the Klein Karoo. A unique location explained by our knowledgeable and friendly guide. All the staff at the lodge were amazing. The facilities were the best of any safari we had been on. The food was excellent and plentiful and the choice of beverages very good too.

    Sanbona is a private safari reserve on the scale of a small national park, and run with the dedication of a conservation project. The safari experience is amazing – in our two drives we saw giraffes, lions, elephants, rhino and more. But with our guide's enthusiasm and insight, I felt immersed into the ecosystem of the reserve rather than that I was simply looking at rare animals. The staff often went above and beyond, the family lodge was comfortable, and the food and drink very good.
