Hello Can I ask a few questions about the Dwyka camp. Are there many choices for breakfast and dinner? Do you need dress clothes for dinner or just casual? Are their toiletries supplied?

Small world! Was cool in the evenings and early mornings on the game drives so might be a good idea to take a jacket with you. Blankets are provided also to keep out the chill. Go enjoy! PS - If also visiting CT, city bus tours/tour to Cape Point also excellent experiences.
Good Afternoon .My family of three Adults were thinking off booking a trip next year .Can I ask do you have a room for three Adults and if my wife does not want to do a safari can she stay in the accommodation. Thanks for You help.Alan Harris

If I traveled with my adult child I would not chose the tents because it doesn't offer privacy inside the room.
This will sound weird but we are going to Sanbona in February and my husband is freaking me out about there probably being large spiders in that area. I have arachnaphobia and now I can't enjoy the planning for worry about that. Can anyone tell me if this is an issue? Thanks

Happy to report our entire visit to South Africa in February was bug-free :-:-) s a n b o n a was absolutely fantastic and we saw the big five and then some. We got to go on a cheetah walk and got within 6 ft of a sleeping male cheetah with our guide. I am still speechless several months later that we were privileged enough to see this. We stayed in tilney Manor which was absolutely spectacular. So happy we took the time to do the Safari for a few days. The wineries and golff that we experienced in the rest of the country were top-notch as well.
Hi, we are going to Sanbona in 10 days.(Dwyka 2 nights) How cold are the early game drives, shirt and sweatshirt or colder. Thanks
