Cheetah Plains is up there with the best safari experiences in Africa.

Reserve Information

The Cheetah Plains Game Reserve is found in the north-west corner of the Sabi Sand 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 is up there with the very best in Africa, never mind the Sabi Sand Reserve.

Rooms and Suites

Each one of the three private safari houses offers a shared formal lounge, living room, sun deck, lap pool, loggia, fine wine gallery and dining room. Each house comprises of four graciously appointed free-standing Private Suites, two of which inter-lead (ideal for when travelling with kids).

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

Cuisine and Wine

Each safari house has its own private chef to cater to all one's needs.
