Our View
Safari with style! A winner in the 2008 Luxury Hotel Awards and
fresh from an upgrade, Chitwa Chitwa mixes African and eclectic
European style in a really imaginative way. It's beautifully
designed to let the outside in, giving you a real feeling of being
part of the landscape (especially as it's not unusual for game to
wander into the camp!). The food here is imaginative in a similar
way: Africa meets Mediterranean, with every meal a social event.
For a little more exclusivity (not to mention your own butler and
ranger), we'd recommend the new Chitwa House.
Hotel Description
Blending seamlessly into the dunes of the Sabi Sand, the
rough-hewn exterior of Chitwa Chitwa hides one of South Africa's
most sumptuous safari retreats. Affording spectacular game viewing
from its lake-side position, the lodge also offers its discerning
guests a real taste of luxury, in perfect harmony with its natural
surroundings.
Housed within stone chalets, accommodation here is both
beautiful and supremely comfortable, with net-swathed sleigh beds,
inviting sunken tubs, and glossy leather armchairs all set off by
exquisitely-chosen objets d'art.
And outside you'll find a private deck and plunge pool with
unbeatable views of the nearby watering hole. More excellent
game-spotting opportunities are on offer
from the chic lounge and dining rooms, as well as the Sunset Deck
with its comfy daybeds and lantern-lit infinity pool, while game
drives into the surrounding bush take guests up close to the Big
Five.
In addition, there are trips to a local village, children's bush
walks, and even a resident masseuse on hand to ensure your total
relaxation. After dark, candlelit meals around a roaring fire
complete the catalogue of simply
unforgettable memories.
