Cheetah Plains

Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, South Africa

Why Cheetah Plains is one of The World’s Best 100 Lodges 2026.

Cheetah Plains replaces the communal lodge with three self-contained safari houses, each supported by a private chef, host, guide and electric game vehicle. Bold African art and architecture provide visual force; the private operational model gives families and groups unusual control over the rhythm of Sabi Sand.
