Cape Town Attractions

If you can only go to one place make it here!

Advantages: Romance, family friendly, beautiful.
Disadvantages: too good to leave..

Wow! what a place. This may not be a true reflection of southern Africa but it is a wonderful place to have a romantic evening dining out under a tree. The estate incompasses many things to do. For the family you can spend the day looking around the estate and buy a picnic lunch from their delicatessen to eat in the gardens by the lake. For a couple you can choose between seeing an opera together in the ampitheatre (which my husband helped build) ...

Review of The Diamond Works, Cape Town

Nothing but Animals and Wilderness!

Advantages: Very exclusive, few other visitors
Disadvantages: Lack of animals

You have the choice of two lodges to stay at, one with six rooms and the other with four.. that means ...
...at any one time!! That's just three jeeps travelling around over 140,000 acres of land! If you compare that to the Kenyan safaris or even some of the other South African ones, it wins hands down. The other game reserves pack the visitors in so that it feels more like a zoo.. there are jeeps and people everywhere just queing up to see the animals.. not at Sanbona, that's its beauty. We had a suite at the Khanni Lodge which had a completely private ...
