The name Sanbona is a combination of the "San" people who roamed this area for thousands of years and "bona" which represents their vision in order to position this portion of the Little Karoo. Be it a journey of rejuvenation and self-discovery or absorbing the various essences and activities, Sanbona Wildlife Reserve represents in true form the philosophy of the Mantis Collection - taking care of the small things in life.

Once through Robertson, encountering farms stalls, wine farms and arts and craft shops along the way; the next town is Ashton. Travel on through the Montagu Pass and experience the most awe-inspiring rock formations. The historical town of Montagu, known for its hot springs is passed through. Continue for approximately 38 km and turn left at "Die Vlakte" and Sanbona Wildlife Reserve signs. Please be advised that the road changes from tar to gravel and the recommended speed limit from then on is 40 km per hour. The main entrance to Sanbona Wildlife Reseve is 7km where guests will be welcomed. From the main gate, it is a further 26km to the oasis of Tilney Manor and 7km to Khanni Lodge.

More modern comforts include air-conditioning, satellite television, private bars and tea and coffee making facilities. Our fully equipped Spa offers guests the opportunity to recover from the rigors of the outside world and restore their sense of inner harmony. This is the perfect environment for rediscovering creativity and regenerating energy. Cape Georgian decor draws on the natural colours of the surrounding stone and vegetation, with subtle touches of San culture influencing the design throughout the guest rooms and conference facility.

From the verandah and rim-flow swimming pool guests can watch animals visiting the watering hole to drink, and the private verandas of the lodge's four spacious suites offer exquisite views of the surrounding landscape. Khanni Lodge provides guests with an enchanting choice of settings in which to relax - from the airy dining room and cosy lounge with its fireplace, to the outdoor dining patio and barbeque facilities.
