Cheetah Plains

About the hotel

Cheetah Plains stands for an exclusive, luxurious, private, and sustainable safari experience in South Africa’s celebrated Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Each of the three Plains Houses (Karula, Mapogo and Mvula) is named after one of the big cats that left an indelible mark on Cheetah Plains during their lifetime. Each villa accommodates up to eight guests and features, among other things, a lounge, living and dining area, pool deck, wine gallery, and kitchen. Guests also enjoy the care of a personal hospitality team, including a butler, kitchen team, spa therapist, field guide, and tracker. The lodge is a standout example of eco-luxury safari living: little wonder that both people and wildlife seem equally at ease here.

Kids & Teens

Cheetah Plains welcomes children of all ages and is devoted to creating unforgettable moments for them. Rangers and trackers share their knowledge with younger guests on walks, while safaris are thoughtfully adapted to suit each age group. The villas feature entertainment lounges with state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, including a selection of games and Netflix.

Experiences & Activities

Twice-daily game drives take place with experienced safari guides and trackers in innovative electric safari vehicles. For a more immersive experience, join a guided bush walk. If you are interested in culture, visit the nearby village of Utah, where many members of staff live with their families. Enjoy a selection of wellness treatments in the privacy of your villa. The air-conditioned gym is equipped with the latest machines for your workout.

Cheetah Plains

in our eyes

Experience a first-class escape in the heart of the wilderness at Cheetah Plains. Your personal hosts and dedicated service team elevate every moment and ensure nothing is overlooked. Far from home, yet here you feel entirely at ease. Whether safaris, in-villa massages, or the chefs’ exquisite cuisine: families seeking a true escape will find themselves in exactly the right place – and may leave only reluctantly.

Best time to travel

Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa is best visited from May to October. During this dry season, temperatures are pleasant and wildlife viewing is excellent, as the vegetation is sparse and water sources are limited. This makes safaris especially rewarding, as animals gather around waterholes and are easier to track. These months are also ideal for night drives, offering the chance to encounter the nocturnal wildlife that would otherwise reMayn hidden.

    Destination region

    Sabi Sand Game Reserve

    Sabi Sand Game Reserve, bordering the renowned Kruger National Park, is known for its exclusive safari lodges, dramatic landscapes and exceptional wildlife viewing. This celebrated region offers families a distinctive blend of immersive nature experiences and luxurious comfort.

    Game drives in open safari vehicles make it possible to experience the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhino – at thrillingly close range. Leopard sightings are especially impressive, and Sabi Sand is rightly famous for them. For those wishing to delve deeper into the wild, guided bush walks are a wonderful way to gain fascinating insight into the region’s remarkable flora and fauna. The luxurious lodges are ideal for families and, alongside first-class accommodation, offer amenities such as pools and wellness experiences for moments of relaxation after adventure-filled days.
