Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge

Reviews

"Chitwa is a great place. The management and all the staff members are a big happy family. I spend 4 nights together with my wife in one of the wonderful lodges. All of them is located close to the pond right in front of all the lodges. You will see and hear the hippos from your private deck. We were also happy seeing them on land. Elephants are coming down for a drink and even a swim sometimes. The fish-eagles are sitting in the trees around the pond. The pond also includes at least two crocks. Food is superb and the rooms are really big."

"Were to begin? This place has it all!! The very friendly and warm welcome or the enormous rooms? Chitwa Chitwa is truly one of the best places I've stayed. Karin and her team really know how to make you feel like you're at home. With excellent service by every staff member, I couldn't imagine anyone not falling in love with this place. Your rooms are not rooms, they're villa's with a private pooldeck looking over the watering hole. We had a lot of visitors that came by every day: elephants leopards buffaloes warthogs impala's and so on. The food is of an excellent quality and you will be spoiled over and over. During the game drives there literally will be a surprise around every corner. (Depending on the weather you could be eating in the bush around a campfire!) Our tracker Ramses and ranger Rodney are a good team. We even had two private drives with no other guests around. Your tracker knows what you've seen and what you want to see. If you're doubting between this and another reserve: just go for this one! Trust me! Thank you Chitwa Chitwa team for this really unique experience. Hope to come back one day really soon!"

"The animals, the food, luxury, etc. Nothing could have been more perfect. We saw every animal imaginable on this trip, forget the BIG 5 ,it should be the Amazing 15. They even threw my wife a surprise birthday party in the middle of the bush. Shout out to Bousey, Khensani, Texsan, Rodney, and Ranson (I'm sure I spelled some of those wrong). I would recommend this lodge 1000x over to anyone and everyone."

"We stayed in the Charlsy Suite (Room 7). It has 2 bedrooms, both en-suite with a comfortable living area. The bathroom views were amazing. The décor was very opulent and unusual. The staff here are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We had two safari's a day, sunrise & sunset. Our guide, Surprise, and tracker Ralph were brilliant. We loved the sunset gin & tonics in the bush. We got very close to the animals and saw all of the big 5 plus a lot more."

"There is little that I can add that has not already been said about Chitwa Chitwa. A three night stay in late July 2015 proved to be more than we ever imagined in terms of the Hotel itself and also the close up access the Big 5 plus. Our room was huge and decorated in perfect taste for the setting. Service is relaxed but efficient and personable. Guests are treated to almost their own personal team of Ranger, Tracker, waitress etc. all who knew our names within a couple of minutes of us arriving. The food was extremely good. I don't need to go on apart from to say that you will not be disappointed and we will be back."

"My husband and I spent the first part of our South African honeymoon here in June. It was so awesome. The food was great and the staff was very attentive. Our room was huge with an indoor and outdoor shower as well as a private pool. There was wildlife everywhere and we saw the Big 5 many times over. I can't wait to go back! Thanks again to everyone, especially our guide Hali and bartender Dinho :)"

"We had a wonderful four days in Chitwa. The manager Kevin and his wife Melanie were very kind and caring and nothing was too much trouble. Our accommodation was fabulous, with our room was spacious and very well situated. Our driver Surprise and tracker Ralph made our drives very funny and most interesting and the stops for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening were so welcoming and enjoyable. The food was wonderful and the evenings under the stars were truly a tremendous South African experience. We loved every minute of our stay in Chitwa and would recommend it to anyone wanting a special safari adventure."
