Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge is situated on the banks of one of the largest lakes of the exclusive 63,000 hectare Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve which forms part of the greater Kruger National Park. The ideal location and design of the camp means that you can be assured of superb game viewing from the main lounge and dining while remaining inconspicuous to the groups of wild animals assembling at the water's edge - the perfect environment to relax, unwind and absorb the sights, sounds and scents of Africa.
Each of the 6 individually decorated suites opens onto a private deck with a plunge pool that overlooks the nearby lake - a popular drinking hole for a wealth of wildlife. The lodge also offers a library, gym, swimming pool, curio shop and spa.
