Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt zwischen Abenteuer, Wildnis und Komfort

Es war ein besonderes Erlebnis. Die Lodge ist direkt an einem kleinen See gelegen, wo wir Elefanten und eine Giraffe direkt von der Veranda aus bewundern konnten. Der Pool und Tennisplatz im Außenbereich sind eine wunderbare Abwechslung zu den Safari-Fahrten. Die luxuriösen Suites der Lodge sind mit ca. 15 Metern Abstand zueinander und Bambus-Sichtschutz schön voneinander abgetrennt. Die Suites selbst sind sehr komfortabel eingerichtet, mit eigener Dusche, Toilette, Klimaanlage und sogar einem Holzofen sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Service und das Personal waren sehr angenehm und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Das Restaurant und Essen war genüßlich, und passend zu dem Ambiente der Lodge. Insgesamt findet man in der Cheetah Ridge Lodge eine wunderbare Umgebung für aufregende Safari-Fahrten vor. Die Krönung unseres Besuchs war zweifelsohne die Beobachtung von Giraffen, Elefanten, Geparden, Löwen und Nashörnern auf den Safari-Fahrten.

Muhteşem bir tatildi

Otel muhtegemdi, odanin dizaynina bayildik. Tam kargimizdaki gölette hipopotamlar vardi. Gece karanlikta yildizlar muhtegem gözüküyordu. Game drive çok güzeldi, bir çok hayvani görebildik, ayni zamando Brent sagolsun gok güzel bir off-road deneyimi de yasadik.

Everything we hoped for and more.

Very friendly staff. We loved the game drives: informative, flexible, patient, and professional. Kayla was amazing! The food was also delicious and well-presented with a lot of choice. Rooms were spacious and well-appointed. Coffee machines, water, and milk were a nice touch, as was the early morning coffees. Breakfast on the deck was wonderful. P

Nothing. Perhaps slightly better location directions: we weren't aware that there were 2 approaches to the lodge. The first road was a bit challenging for our hire car, and the second was shorter and far smoother. Signage from the main roads could be slightly improved.

This is the ideal game experience to enjoy it in style within a short stay.

We hosted family with little ones to enjoy a safari adventure and see wild animals. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience. In particular the guides Brandon and Kayla were friendly, perceptive of our needs and made us feel well cared for. In our short visit of 3 days we managed to see 4 of the big 5. The only exception was leopard. The reserve has many other animals that provided great sightings. The trees around the main lodge is abundant with birdlife.

There was nothing to complain about, but we recommend that lighter duvets be provided as the weather gets warmer. Also the portions of food served to the kids were far too large for them.

It was one of the best stays I have had and Marta was an excellent field guide and driver.

100% the food was excellent Chef was very pleasant and caring, friendly staff

Teach your wine steward to twist his wrist, when finished pouring the wine. Not a big deal ! but less messy.

Very good

The staff was very nice and friendly. Food was abundant and delicious.

The water was very bad. It was brown in the taps. I wanted to soak in the beautiful tub. However, the water was dirty.

excellent lodge, 5 star staff

we had a fantastic time at Cheetah Ridge. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly, the food was excellent and the game drives were brilliant. Our guide (Brent) was very knowledgeable which really makes any game drive. He went above and beyond to make every game drive exceptional. The staff also surprised us with a special dinner to celebrate our special occasion. We would definitely return to cheetah ridge

We enjoyed the family room option. Very clean; friendly staff and great Game Drives.

menu /food options were not that inclusive Some of the group members had to ask for alternative options on more than one occasion. We did not like the set lunch menu.

Best safari experience ever

The food at all meals was exquisite. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The manager is extremely polite and helpful and went out of his way to ensure our stay was a good one. Our driver was the most informative guide you would hope for and we developed a great rapport with him during our stay. The whole stay was second to none.

A real bush spoil, you are treated like royalty.

We had the most incredible time from the minute we arrived to the minute we leave. The food was amazing, though a little too much at times. The team are so friendly, always smiling. Our ranger Ryan was incredible and had us laughing all the way. We were so spoilt, saw lions, cheetah, vultures, rhino, ellies, giraffe, and so so much more. He made sure we saw it all.

There was a lot of really good food, felt terrible sending so much back to the kitchen.
