Cheetah Plains is newly renovated lodge located within the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve which borders with the world-renowned Kruger National Park. The Sabi Sands is well-known for its fantastic big cat sightings and up-close encounters with Africa's famous Big Five.
Cheetah Plains boasts three exclusive-use, designer Bush Houses that each feature four private suites with king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms with double rain showers and a bathtub overlooking the bushveld, dressing rooms, lounge, minibar, tea & coffee making facilities, and private deck with a daybed.
Each Bush House can accommodate a maximum of eight guests and includes two comfortable lounges, a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, an outdoor boma, wine cellar, a heated swimming pool, and a private viewing deck with a daybed. The Bush Houses are serviced by a private chef, butler, and professional guide for the duration of your stay. Guests staying at Cheetah Plains have access to a central gym as well as a private spa therapist.
After your afternoon tea, you’ll be taken on the first of your exhilarating twice-daily game drives. Go on a personalized journey with your professional field guide to learn and see things you never thought possible.
Setting out into the bushveld in the late afternoon is the ideal time to spot the predators that prowl the Sabi Sand. Leopard and lion emerge in the early evening to drink water or rest before the night’s hunt.
As part of the concession rights, only two safari vehicles are allowed in the shared areas of the reserve at any given time. You're guaranteed exclusivity as you go on safari through Cheetah Plains and the surrounding area.
The Sabi Sand Game Reserve is home to an abundance of wildlife - 145 mammal species, 110 reptiles, and 500 bird species. Guests can look forward to sightings of leopard, lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, hyena and various antelope. The reserve also offers sanctuary to a number of endangered animals such as wild dogs, honey badgers and ground hornbills.
Cheetah Plains is ideal for families or small groups looking for an exclusive luxury safari experience.

Safari.com was helpful start to finish
Safari.com was helpful start to finish. The sign up process was clear, the support was great as we tailored our experience. Directions were perfect to get there. Everything in the safari was as we thought it would be and even better. It literally was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations.

Heleen 's service was superb
Heleen 's service was superb: prompt, friendly and efficient. She altered my reservation promptly and efficiently. She warned me that SAN Parks might not be able to accommodate my wishes, but all is well.

A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.

So far, great service
This review is for the booking only as we have not taken our trip yet. Safari expert Sara Van Coille has been great to work with. We booked later than we planned and she was able to come up with an itinerary that was perfect for our group. Sara has responded to all our questions and was very quick to get back to me. From our experience so far, we would definitely recommend Safari.com
