The Cheetah Plains Game Reserve is found in the northwest corner of the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, with the Kruger National Park and MalaMala as neighbours. Think about that for a second, and one will realise that wildlife and birdlife here are up there with the best in Africa, never mind the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

Remember, these are safari houses and not safari suites. There is enough space in each one to swing an elephant, never mind a cat.

Onboard each safari vehicle is a bird book, binoculars and a professional-level Nikon D850 camera fitted with a 200-500mm telephoto lens plus a memory card provided for guests' enjoyment.
