Destination

Sabi Sand

Escape to the heart of the South African bushveld and make memories to last a lifetime. Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve located in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve promises an authentic bushveld experience: breathtaking panoramas, plentiful wildlife, comfortable bush-style accommodation, service with a smile and exquisite dining. Each of the eight suites blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, transporting you from the city into the heart of the bushveld. With either a double bed or two single beds, an en-suite shower, air-conditioning, mosquito net, and a verandah overlooking the gardens and the wild African bush, there is no chance at not being satisfied with the lodgings. At Cheetah Plains, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the abundant wildlife and unparalleled game viewing. The Sabi Sand Game Reserve lies adjacent to the southwest corner of the Kruger National Park. There are no fences between the two reserves, allowing game to move freely between the two areas. The famous 65 000ha Sabi Sand Game Reserve is world renowned for the Big Five – Leopard, Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, Cape Buffalo, and Lion – but at Cheetah Plains you’ll see so much more. The intimate Cheetah Plains Lodge offers superb service and luxury accommodation, and its trademark comfort and warmth will have you feeling right at home.
