Sabi Sand, South Africa

About Cheetah Plains

Cheetah Plains is an ultra-luxurious, exclusive-use property in the Northern Sabi Sand, designed for the most discerning travellers who seek a private, modern, and high-tech safari experience. The lodge consists of several private 'bush homes', each featuring its own communal living areas and dedicated staff, providing a completely bespoke experience. The wildlife viewing is world-class, and Cheetah Plains is particularly well-known for its innovative use of electric safari vehicles, which allow for a quiet, low-impact, and immersive way to track animals. The design is sleek, modern, and minimalist, providing a sophisticated backdrop for a stay in the wild. It is a top-tier choice for families or groups who prioritize privacy, technological innovation, and absolute exclusivity in one of Africa's premier wildlife destinations.

Why we like it

The switch to silent, electric game-viewing vehicles provides a significantly more immersive and environmentally responsible way to experience the bush.
