Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve

Tucked away in the northwest corner of Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Cheetah Plains is a beautifully appointed lodge on the edge of Kruger National Park. It features three exclusive villas that can accommodate between four and eight guests, with each boasting an outdoor boma, two lounges, and a heated swimming pool.

All of the villas are elegantly decorated and seamlessly flow into the surrounding bushveld. They include the services of a designated guide and private safari vehicle for the duration of your stay to spot the iconic “Big 5”, as well as the opportunity to visit the local communities of Utah and Dixie. Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve is committed to sustainability, with water recycling systems and solar power incorporated into its accommodations.
