Introduction

Cheetah Plains Lodge and game reserve is that quintessential traditional family-friend safari lodge where what matters is the comfortable accommodation, the friendly services and smiles, fantastic wildlife sighting and delicious South African home-style cuisine.

So looking for a safari lodge within that mid-range budget, that is small, intimate and family friendly with great wildlife, well look no further.

Reserve Information

The Cheetah Plains Game Reserve is found in the 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 best in the area (all at and what can only be described as very very good rates).

Rooms and Suites

With only eight thatched safari cottages and one bush cottage Cheetah Plains offers a level of privacy that is only matched by lodges costing three to four times as much.

Each one of the safari cottages offers up as standard air-conditioning, double (or single) beds, en-suite shower and a verandah overlooking the gardens.

The bush cottage, on the other hand, offers up two bedrooms, lounge, en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, air-conditioning and a verandah overlooking the surrounding bushveld (this is the ideal space for families).

Cuisine and Wine

The traditional and delicious South African home-style cuisine is offered up under the African skies served with warm hospitality.

Lodge Facilities

An inviting swimming pool awaits with views out over the waterhole where if lucky one can watch elephants, buffalo and the rest of the wildlife species coming down to drink during the midday heat.

Safari Activities

Early morning and later afternoon/ evening games drive set out daily with the goal of spotting as much wildlife as possible. Sunset drinks against the dramatic, inspiring African sunset are of course standard, a chance to stretch those legs and take in all that surrounds.

Specialized birding and photographic safaris are also available, these safaris have set departure dates so please contact us, and we will advise. One could always request a tailor-made birding or photographic safari.
