About The Lodge & The Reserve


About Cheetah Plains Game Lodge
Cheetah Plains Game Lodge is a luxurious family lodge and comprises of eight thatched chalets all with en-suite rooms, air-conditioning, overhead fans and mosquito nets, two viewing decks and a magnificent swimming pool.

Cheetah Plains Game Lodge caters for a maximum of sixteen guests. The Lodge building, of wood and thatch is unique in its construction and offers magnificent views of the surrounding African veld from the upper deck. Cheetah Plains Game Lodge (previously called Djuma Bush Lodge), a rather special safari place, with many guests returning time and again over the past decade years, has just eight thatched chalets tucked away in indigenous gardens.

The pool is in a small grove of Tamboti trees and is always delightfully cool. There are two viewing decks over the water-hole. Morning safaris start early so as not to miss the magic of the African sunrise and most animals are active at this time of day.

Breakfast at Bush Lodge is a full English buffet.

Lunch is a simple affair with hot and cold dishes, and afternoon tea includes fresh bakes. Sumptuous dinners are either served in the dining room or under the African sky, around a roaring fire in the boma.

The safari experience here is unique in that we do not only concentrate on the Big Five, but you can also learn about the history of the reserve and how the Tsongas once lived on this land alongside the animals.

A reputation over the past ten years for a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere encourages guests to truly relax and become one of the Cheetah Plains Game Lodge families.

About Sabi Sand Game Reserve
This reserve shares 50km of unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park and animals are at liberty to go wherever they wish - but they tend to stay right where they are! This is because the Sand River and Sabi River supply much needed water in the dry season and create an eco-system with one of the highest and most bio-diverse wildlife populations in Southern Africa. This is the reason why it is quite possible to see the 'Big Five' (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant) as well as numerous other animals and birds in a couple of days, or even a couple of hours in Sabi Sand.
