Dwyka Tented Lodge

Secluded luxury under canvas

Embraced by striking rock formations, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve’s Dwyka Tented Lodge epitomizes an atmosphere of seclusion.

Nine luxury tents, with private decks and heated Jacuzzis, are set in a horseshoe bend of a dry Karoo ravine, the lodge standing proudly upon the beautifully weathered landscape reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of the Khoisan hunter-gatherers who once roamed this land.

Explore this unique reserve on game drives, guided walks or boat. You can also visit San rock art sites or learn about the unique flora found here, serenely ending the day with an extensive menu of therapies and treatments, including a steam room, dine alfresco in the boma or unwind in the communal lounge before some star gazing.
