Chitwa House

Chitwa House is a secluded retreat at Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge in Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve. This isn't just an accommodation – it's your private home in the bush, overlooking a dam where elephants drink at dawn and lions prowl at dusk. While neighbouring Kruger National Park has plenty of visitors at a time, Sabi Sand delivers reverence through off-road tracking and guides who know individual leopards by their spots.

What sets Chitwa House apart is the completely tailored experience – from private Big 5 game drives in your own safari vehicle to a dedicated guide, tracker and butler. Enjoy a slow morning on the deck, a sunset overlooking the water or a fireside dinner under the stars. Your days follow the wild's rhythm, not tour schedules. Night drives reveal genets in spotlights and leopards dragging prey into trees under skies alight with stars. The included cultural visit to Dixie Community connects you with local families, while your stay helps fund their children's education. 

The villa features African-chic design, a swimming pool with dam views and indulgent touches such as outdoor showers. You can expect all the comforts of a high-end lodge, with the added benefit of complete exclusivity. Each suite features en-suite bathrooms, both indoor and outdoor showers and private decks for morning coffee while elephants bathe in the water. Your private ranger, tracker, chef and butler will learn your preferences. Chitwa House welcomes families and children of all ages.
