Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge

Chitwa Chitwa is set on the shores of the largest lake in Sabi Sand Game Reserve, renowned for its Big 5 sightings. The art-filled interiors nod to both African tradition and European flair. Wildlife often comes straight to the lake in front of the deck, so you don't have to choose between downtime and sightings. Whether you're travelling as a couple, a group of friends or with kids in tow, Chitwa Chitwa offers a flexible and high-end safari base.

Your days start and end with safari drives, led by experienced guides and Shangaan trackers who know the land intimately. Sabi Sand Game Reserve is famous for its leopard and lion populations as well as consistent Big 5 sightings in general. Between drives, you can go on bush walks, visit the nearby local community, unwind in the spa and by the pool or simply relax on the large sunset deck and watch the animals pass by. Chitwa Chitwa welcomes children of all ages and those aged six and above are allowed to accompany their parents on game drives.

Accommodation includes stylish lake-facing suites with both indoor and outdoor showers, private plunge pools and spacious living areas. There are also intimate suites for romantic stays, as well as options for families or groups that offer more space and privacy, along with extras such as a personal butler, private chef, private vehicle and flexible schedules. The lodge also features a fully equipped gym, a library, a sunset deck strewn with daybeds and child-minding services on request. Chitwa Chitwa is easily accessible from nearby airstrips and pairs well with a wider Southern African itinerary including Victoria Falls, Cape Town and the Okavango Delta.
