Luxury Safari Redefined: Cheetah Plains Private Game Reserve Guide
Indulge in an unparalleled safari experience at Cheetah Plains, a luxurious private game reserve located within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, bordering Kruger National Park. This exclusive destination offers a unique blend of contemporary design, sustainable practices, and exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities. Prepare to be pampered in ultra-modern villas, enjoy personalized service, and witness the wonders of the African bush in unparalleled style. The Sabi Sand Game Reserve has a long history of conservation, dating back to the early 20th century when landowners recognized the need to protect the area's wildlife. Unlike Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand is comprised of privately owned reserves, allowing for more exclusive and intimate safari experiences. Cheetah Plains stands out for its commitment to sustainability, utilizing electric game drive vehicles and solar power to minimize its environmental impact. At Cheetah Plains, you can embark on twice-daily game drives in electric vehicles, accompanied by expert guides and trackers. These drives offer exceptional opportunities to spot the "Big Five" and other iconic African animals. You can also enjoy guided bush walks, stargazing experiences, and relaxing spa treatments. The reserve is renowned for its high concentration of leopards, making it a prime destination for leopard sightings. The culinary experience is also exceptional, with gourmet meals prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

The most convenient way to reach Cheetah Plains is by flying into Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA) in Mbombela (Nelspruit). From there, you can arrange for a private transfer to the reserve, which is typically a scenic drive of approximately 5-6 hours. Alternatively, you can fly into Skukuza Airport (SZK) within Kruger National Park and then transfer to Cheetah Plains by road. Many lodges and tour operators offer transportation as part of their packages.
