There's really not much else to say! We had the most incredible tine at Chitwa Chitwa. Every single person on the staff knew our name, and they were all so helpful, accomodating, and interesting. Raxon, our amazing guide, and Moses, our incredibe tracker, deserve a special mention -- they made our whole stay worthwhile. We saw the first leopard the... More

I've been to many lodges in the Sabi Sand and Timbavati area in the last 4 years, and have had the chance to stay at many great places. Chitwa Chitwa is definitely one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The lodge is amazing - very beautifully furnished, a great mix of art, modern elements, african decoration, all... More

WOW! This was the most amazing lodge with the best staff in the world! The moment we arrived, Chantel and Stefen were fabulous. They introduced us to our butler, guide, tracker, and all of the staff at the lodge. This lodge has to be exactly what anyone would ever be looking for. The beautiful watering hole, where Hippos lounge and... More

We arrived with another couple in absolutely pouring rain as there had been a cyclone over Mozambique. It was raining so hard they were unable to fly us in so we were driven in which was quite an adventure. Unfortunately the rains continued and we only got 2 out of 6 game drives. What can you do when the weather... More

We spent 3 nights at this lodge with our 7 year old daughter. Our goal was to be immersed as much as possible in the savannah. Our wish was granted : since our terrace, indeed, we heard hippos in the nearby little lake and the birdsong among others. The landscape is truly amazing in this part of the Park Kruger.... More

Stayed at Chitwa Chitwa in January 2012 for 4 nights – unbelievable. We flew in to a nearby airstrip from Jo'berg. A welcome lunch was followed by the introduction to the room (ultimate luxury – inside and outside shower, private splash pool, and huge bed) and then the afternoon safari. Returning in the dark we were escorted back to the... More

We stayed for three nights at the beginning of Jan at Chitwa Chitwa. The property is beautiful, well-maintained with some nice and modern decor. It has a great infinity pool with view over the lake in front where you can see the animals and hippos (lots of hippos in the lake!) from the deck. We felt the atmosphere here was... More

My family and I have just had the most memorable holiday ever. Starting with the flight in, the reception, the staff, the accommodation and of course the exception safari with our expert ranger Hali and tracker Roy made for a wonderful and memorable 4 nights. We have gone on many family trips but this was definitely a highlight. We certainly... More

Having seen the photos on the homepage of this lodge and after comparing all the lodges,Chitwa seemed to be the best. So we booked 2 nights at Chitwa Chitwa. As we had booked over MTBEDS we got a discount on the internet room rates. Nevertheless, the room was overpriced for what it was: Our room had many stains on the... More
