The ambiance at Little Chem Chem is inviting, sophisticated, and brimming with genuine safari charm. Majestic elephants traverse between waterholes; cheetahs chase prey on the open plains; elusive leopards are occasionally spotted; and eland and lesser kudu inhabit the denser woodlands, while ions can be heard calling to each other at night as they roam the area. Additionally, wherever water is present, the birdlife flourishes in vibrant abundance.
Little Chem Chem will be closed during April and May. Children aged 8 years and older are welcome at Little Chem Chem.

Top notch customer service.
As we planned our trip to South Africa we inquired from a few different companies. We are fairly well travelled and I have alway handled all of the logistics and planning for every trip. I was reluctant to relinquish that responsibility to someone else; However, Jolene with Safari.com relieved all my anxieties and went above and beyond. She stood above all others and is the reason we booked through her. She was prompt with her responses to my many questions and was patient as we navigated the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to book their next trip.
