Cheetah Plains
Overview
A new era of sustainable safari luxury
Cheetah Plains offers a bold reimagining of the modern African safari, where architectural refinement, absolute privacy, and sustainability converge. Located in the world-renowned Sabi Sands Nature Reserve, this ultra-luxury lodge is designed entirely around exclusive-use villas, making it ideal for families or groups seeking a private, highly personalised safari experience.
Each expansive villa blends contemporary design with the surrounding bush and comes with a dedicated team including a private chef, butler, and expert field guide. Game drives take place in advanced electric safari vehicles, allowing for silent, emission-free exploration and exceptional Big Five encounters across Sabi Sands, with seamless access to Kruger National Park.
Beyond its wildlife credentials, Cheetah Plains is defined by its future-focused ethos. Solar power, battery storage, and advanced water systems underpin the lodge’s operations, setting a new benchmark for responsible luxury. It is a safari experience shaped by innovation, exclusivity, and a deep respect for the wilderness it inhabits.
