Cheetah Plains Lodge

General Information

Djuma Bush Lodge is a small, intimate lodge located in the Djuma Game Reserve, part of the world-renowned Sabi Sand Reserve, which borders on the Kruger National Park. The lodge's rugged setting, sturdy wooden construction and African décor give you a true back to nature feel.

The reserve is home to South Africa's Big 5, as well as cheetah, hyena, jackal, buck, giraffe, and zebra. Game drives begin early in the morning, when most of the animals are active and sightings are common. The early start also ensures that you don't miss out on the magical African sunrise.

In addition to game viewing activities, Djuma offers you the unique opportunity to learn about the history of the reserve and the culture of the local Utah and Dixie communities.

You can also sit back and relax under thatch on the upper deck or alongside the outdoor swimming pool which is positioned in a small grove of Tamboti trees. Children are always welcome, so your whole family can enjoy an African safari together.

Rooms

Djuma Bush Lodge comprises 8 thatched chalets with en-suite rooms, air-conditioning, overhead fans and mosquito nets. The chalets are clean and comfortable, and are tucked away in indigenous gardens.

Dining

After a morning game drive you can enjoy a full English breakfast buffet back at the Bush Lodge. Hot and cold dishes make for a light and simple lunch, while 4-course dinners are served either in the dining room, under the stars, or around the fire in the boma.
