Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge

Chitwa Chitwa is situated in the Sabi Sands game reserve  which is the birthplace of sustainable wildlife tourism in southern Africa.  Chitwa Chitwa is highly acclaimed for its excellent game viewing, as all hunting in the area has been abolished for decades.

As a result, the animals have grown accustomed to the presence of safari vehicles in their territory and we can boast some of the best opportunities to meet Africa’s Big Five – being the five most dangerous animals to meet on foot: buffalo, elephant, rhino, leopard and lion. Our highly qualified guides and Shangaan trackers ensure an unforgettable African safari by enriching the experience with their profound knowledge regarding this animal kingdom and its complex habitat.

Chitwa Chitwa earned its name as an affectionate ode to the ageing giraffe bull who shared the lakeside home as an extended member of the Brink family. According to Charl Brink, the majestic arrival of this regal relative was always signalled by the creaking of his old joints.

Still today, his watchful essence is felt presiding over the lodge. Much like this giraffe, the lodge is magnificent and graceful in appearance, yet humble enough to evaporate into the surrounding beauty of the unspoiled bush of the Sabi Sand.
