Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

Gold price level

Mango Opinion

Chitwa Chitwa offers guests great luxuries like private pools, spa treatments, top notch wines as well as a superior wildlife safari. The little lodge enjoys traversing rights with several other nearby camps allowing guests to see a nice swath of the larger reserve. We saw great rhino, wild dogs, lion, leopard and many more when we visited.

Nestled in the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, Chitwa Chitwa sits on the banks of one of the largest lakes in the region. The lodge has emerged as an exquisite balance between unbridled luxury and environmental harmony. 

Each of the six individually decorated suites open onto a private lake-view deck with its own private plunge pool, framed by a spacious timber deck that overlooks the nearby waterhole. The luxury suites are very spacious, varying from 130 to 180 square meters, and can accommodate 1 extra bed for children under the age of 12 years. The Charlsy Suite in particular is a superb solution for families or friends travelling together with two inter-leading en-suite rooms joined by a comfortable living area. A fabulously spacious common lake view deck with a swimming pool completes this unique unit.

The area is highly acclaimed for its excellent game viewing. The animals have grown accustomed to the presence of safari vehicles in their territory and we can boast some of the best opportunities to meet Africa's Big Five: buffalo, elephant, rhino, leopard and lion. Our highly qualified guides and Shangaan trackers ensure an unforgettable African safari by enriching the experience with their profound knowledge regarding this animal kingdom and its complex habitat.
