Cheetah Plains

The eight traditionally-thatched chalets at Cheetah Plains melt into beautiful indigenous gardens, which in turn are surrounded by pristine African bushveld. Each chalet has either a double bed or two single beds, an en-suite shower, air-conditioning, mosquito net, and a verandah overlooking the gardens and the wild African bush. The bathrooms have showers, toilets and sinks. Cheetah Plains also offers complimentary laundry service. Should you wish to have any laundry done during your stay, please use the laundry basket provided. To ensure same-day service, place your laundry in the basket before you depart on your early morning drive. Remember to fill in the laundry list.

Imagine the smell of freshly baked bread and an open fire, the night sky dotted with bright stars, warm hospitality in the heart of the bushveld … our meals are prepared from only the freshest produce and served in the natural splendour of Africa. Breakfast is a full English style buffet. High tea includes savouries and cakes. Dinner is a four course meal under the stars. The dining embraces the relaxed atmosphere of the lodge, and makes the most of delicious local ingredients, giving guests a true taste of South African cuisine. If you like, you can also request a private dinner on the lodge's private dining deck in a secluded nook of the main lodge for those who wish to enjoy an intimate dinner under the African night sky.

Your stay includes two game drives each day in the morning and afternoon. You are also guaranteed exclusivity – since only two game vehicles at a time can traverse the area, there is no overcrowding, no noise and no waiting in line.

The main lodge is a common area where our guests are invited to put their feet up, browse the internet to get in touch with family and friends, have a cocktail or cup of coffee, and simply relax while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African bushveld. From the main lodge, you can also gaze out to our dam, a wetland of sorts where animals come to drink water. The superbly kept swimming pool is just a footstep or two away, and it's hard to resist the invitation to take a dip and cool down; take the plunge, surrounded by comfortable chairs under bushveld trees. Swimming towels are available at the pool.The camp also has its own curio shop with a wide range of African arts and curios, as well as branded apparel. Most items are crafted by local artists in the area and the prices are very reasonable. The curio shop is situated next to reception, and is open all day.

Forget about the outside world, turn off your mobile phone, close your eyes … and relax. Cheetah Plains invites you to unwind in a natural sanctuary and destress your mind and body with a range of therapeutic treatments, including a full body massages from a qualified masseur. Using products that contain some of nature's finest ingredients, we will pamper and invigorate you.

During your stay you can also sign up for a tour to visit the Manyeleti community. This four-hour excursion is always informative and inspiring, giving you an inside perspective on the community’s way of life while led by your local qualified guide (additional cost may apply).
