Top Sanbona Wildlife Reserve Hotel Reviews

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"I truly cannot recommend staying here enough. We were only able to stay here one night, but I really wish we could have stayed more. While yes, it's a luxury price point, the beauty and the nature that you get to view in return is worth every penny. The property itself is absolutely stunning so even just driving around on the safaris looking for the animals is enjoyable. The food was exceptional, the room was immaculate, I truly can't recommend this enough. Our guide Rigchter was so knowledgeable and friendly and witty. He seemed just as excited for us to see the animals as we were. I hope I have the opportunity to return here again one day."
