Each air-conditioned luxury suite is set along the river, offering all the luxuries yet evoking the style and romance of the past as well as the indigenous Swazi and Shangaan cultures. Game drives in open landrovers, with the professional team of game rangers, offer guests the thrill of close encounters with Africa’s BIG FIVE. Walking safaris, Birding safaris and guided Historical tours will take you along the paths of legend and mystery. Interpret the signs, sounds and scents of wild animals in this unspoilt wilderness. And when you tire of the thrill of the African bush you can rejuvenate & refresh at the Spa.

OR
Sanbona Wildlife Reserve (Little/Klein Karoo) - this could be done in the beginning of the itinerary:

Situated at the foot of the towering Warmwaterberg Mountains in the heart of the Little Karoo, Sanbona celebrates the spirit of the San people who once roamed this distinctive area.
Only 3 hours from Cape Town, Sanbona boasts 54 000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains, indigenous flora and fauna, rock formations and rock art.
Sanbona is home to white lions and big game as well as the rare riverine rabbit. The White Lion Project at Sanbona that aims to return white lions to the wild has been heralded a success. This makes Sanbona home to the only free-roaming white lions in the world.
One of the true joys of Sanbona is the freedom to do nothing at all in absolute luxury. But for those who choose to venture beyond the comfort of the luxury lodge accommodation, a world of new experiences awaits....
