Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge sits in South Africa’s private Sabi Sands Game Reserve, which offers one of the best Big 5 game viewing experiences in Southern Africa – and is renowned for its leopard sightings. Just west of the Kruger National Park, this private conservancy is closed to day visitors and rangers can drive off-road creating an exclusive and unique safari experience for guests of Chitwa Chitwa.

About Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge
Private, surrounded by trees and bush, Chitwa Chitwa Safari Lodge is great for honeymooners or first- and second-time travellers to Africa. Great care has been taken to be elegant yet unpretentious and the lodge feels like a home away from home. The location is perfect: guests who want to relax and watch wild animals directly from the lodge can do so, as the lake attracts predators and plains game alike. Yet the Sabi Sands is a famous Big 5 reserve and the experienced rangers and trackers offer first-class game drives.

The Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge Accommodation
Chitwa Chitwa Safari Lodge takes privacy to heart: each of the six large suites features a private deck and plunge pool, and are widely spaced from each other. Overlooking a large lake, each suite has a great vantage point for game viewing. The elegant, colonial décor is matched with a thatch roof and a warm ambience. Food lovers are welcome at this lodge with its glittering wine cellar and an inviting outside dining area.
Each suite is between 130 and 180 square meters large, accommodating two extra beds if you’re bringing along your children. If you’re on a family trip, the Charlsy Suite is perfect as it has two inter-leading en-suite rooms with a cosy living area. Each suite includes an outdoor shower, fireplace and bathtub.
Due to a growing demand, Chitwa House is now also open to visitors with two en-suite rooms that boast private decks and outdoor showers. There’s an experienced butler and a dedicated ranger on hand for ultimate service.
