While you’re here

So, when you visit the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, there are two daily nature drives that you absolutely can’t miss. They’re the main attraction for most visitors, and it’s easy to see why. You get to see the famous Big 5 animals, like lions, elephants, and rhinos, up close and personal. But that’s not all!

There are also lots of other smaller animals that roam the plains. Some are really rare, like aardvarks, caracals, brown hyenas, and riverine rabbits. You don’t see those every day! And if you’re a nature lover, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can also visit ancient rock-art sites made by the Khoi-San people. It’s like stepping back in time! And don’t forget about the amazing bird-watching and stargazing opportunities. The sky is so big and beautiful in the Karoo!
