Hi. From memory (last October), lots of choice at breakfast including cooked bespoke breakfast. Dinner is from choice of three options inc one vegetarian. Individual needs can be met. Didn't ask ourselves but think other options can be provided if nothing on menu for the client. No dress clothes for dinner. Accommodation was amazing. One of best places stayed anywhere. Yes, toiletries provided. Please note. Area immense, an hour's drive to acc from gate. Range of game but not huge numbers. Cheetah sighting was special. Booked through Pembury Tours in SA. Everything as agreed. Fantastic.

Hi, Regarding Sanbona and spiders. We do have a lot of different spiders in South Africa generally but I don't think you should find any in this area in particular. The accommodation and public areas are very well maintained and it being a dry area I am sure this will not be a problem. There are scorpions (not spiders) in the area but then again it is not something you will find in he excellent maintained rooms & areas at Sanbona I hope you have a fabulous Safari, Clive
