A manor-house safari in the Little Karoo
Trade Cape Town’s city pace for the quiet of Tilney Manor in Sanbona Wildlife Reserve. This historic retreat has six open-plan suites with private verandas overlooking mountain folds and wide Karoo plains. Two nights give you a compact luxury escape, balancing four guided safaris with relaxed meals and time beside the rim-flow pool.
Explore a malaria-free conservation landscape
Your programme includes 2 morning and 2 afternoon open-vehicle game drives with qualified guides. Discover contrasting habitats, birdlife and big game, along with the delicate succulent plants found among the quartz fields. Wildlife sightings follow natural movements and cannot be guaranteed.
Guided wilderness walks are optional and depend on suitable conditions and guide availability. Sanbona also preserves ancient San rock art; a dedicated rock-art excursion is not a scheduled inclusion. Lodge relaxation facilities offer downtime between outings; additional treatments are not included.
Cape Town transfers and lodge arrangements
Return air-conditioned transfers collect you from your chosen location within 50 km of Cape Town between 08:30 and 09:00. Aim to reach the reserve welcome lounge by 12:30 for the included internal lodge transfer. On day 3, return to the welcome lounge before 12:30 for the journey back to your original pickup point. Exact arrangements and lodge availability are confirmed before travel.
Sharing price and meals
US$3,000 per person sharing. Two adults sharing pay US$6,000; the standard solo rate is US$4,200. Enjoy all meals during your lodge stay, a limited selection of house beers, wines and soft drinks, plus on-drive snacks and drinks.
Children under four cannot join game drives. Please contact us for any child booking so we can confirm suitable accommodation and safari arrangements before payment.
