Testimonial

Our clients say, brent smith.

"Having hunted with Cheetah Safaris, I chose Sable Safaris for my elephant bow-hunt because I wanted Pieter Bothma to be my PH and back-up. It was that simple. A bow-hunt for elephant was certain to include moments of up-close, split second decision making and I trusted Pieter with the task. Sable Safaris worked at planning the elephant bow-hunt and found a hunting area near Kafue National Park with a CITES permit. We had a good plan, hunted hard, and at the end of a week's hunting, and several exciting stalks, we got close to a good bull for a bow shot. The old bull charged us in a thicket and Pieter did the needful, from 8 yards. Sometimes hunts don't go as planned, that is part of hunting, but the test for the PH is how they handle the situation. I will go back and we'll try again. We were successful on Sable, taking a great trophy with just a few days left in the hunt. Cheetah and Sable Safaris are great experiences in Africa, that leave you dreaming of going back!"

Drew Aliperto

"Thank you and your team for the outstanding experience we had this year with Cheetah Safaris. It was a big task to set up for the 7 people in our group but absolutely every part of the safari went perfect. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to see the wonderful accommodations right on the river. The service the staff at the lodge provided was awesome. The food was fantastic. Having great meal after meal was very special and certainly beyond our expectations. Then there was the hunting. Being our first safari, we only knew what we studied prior to our arrival and what Kerry told us, but we were amazed at the knowledge and experience the Professional Hunters you paired our group up with. We were on game for 10 straight days! Our group took over 40 animals and they will be cherished for a lifetime. We like to think we know a lot about hunting but we learned so much from the PH's we realized the passion you and your team put into the work you do. Having the safari video taped was a perfect reminder of the fantastic time we experienced. We are planning our return next year. We highly recommend Cheetah Safaris to anyone interested in a successful safari!!"

Vivian Pearce

" I had the time of my life hunting both with Cheetah Safaris in S.A. and Sable Safaris in Zambia. With the expert help of the PH's and their staff I was able to bag all 7 of the animals I wanted---some of them record sized! It was a thrilling experience of a lifetime what with the outstanding game, beautiful scenery, and great company. I can't wait to go back!"

"Great hosts, staff and accommodations with excellent archery venue! Pieter Bothma understands bow hunting and Cheetah provides the opportunity for both blind hunting as well as spot and stalk."

Liz Blankenship

"Do you really want me to give a testimonial!!!!!!! Ha! I will, promise it will be something you can publish. What I really want to say is: Holy Shit- the hunt of a lifetime! Woo Hoo Kudu!!""

Chris Douglas

"I hunted with Pieter in Zambia at his Sable Safaris concession in 2010. I killed a leopard and stuck a 14 1/2 foot croc with my bow, and rifle shot a 44 inch+ buff, among other animals. Pieter and his crew are the "Professional" in PH. If you are ever lucky enough to hunt with him you will always want to do it again. I could write a multitude of superlatives about Pieter, but suffice to say, he is just a great hunter and he and his crew will do everything in their power to insure you have a successful hunt and a true African experience."

Doyle Bruner

"Everything about my leopard hunt with Sable Safaris, accommodations, food and service were five star. I really learned a lot, but the biggest surprise was the large number of people working very hard to make my hunt a success. All I did was enjoy the experience. Pieter, Carina and the trackers did the work.....Hard work!!!! Anyone wanting to hunt cats, should consider Sable Safaris and the Luangwa River area for their hunt. I doubt that there is a higher success rate anywhere in Africa."

Garrett Gleim

"In August, I experienced my second safari in less than one year with Pieter Bothma and team. Both safaris were such great experiences that I scheduled my third safari for next year during my second safari."

Kevin Budney

"Thank-you so much for fantastic Zambia Safari, looking forward to the next with a bow. The best cat hunting area in Africa I have seen."

Hunting is not just something we do, it is a part of who we are. Come and experience first class rifle and bow hunting at Cheetah Safaris!

cheetah safari lodge thabazimbi

An overnight stay which cannot be experienced anywhere else in the UK.

The two exquisite, one-storey lodges are authentically themed and can sleep up to six guests.

Panoramic views of the cheetahs’ new habitat can be witnessed through the large, floor-to-ceiling windows at the front of the lodge.

In the bedroom, you will find a king-sized bed with twin single bunk beds above, perfect for young adults or children.

There is also a king-sized bed in the open-plan living area.

The Wildlife

Cheetahs are magnificent big cats, built for speed as the world’s fastest land mammal. Their flexible spines and long limbs and tail make graceful running easy for these African cats. They are easily identified from other spotted cats by their distinctive black “tear marks” that connect from the inside corner of each eye to their mouth.

Watch our cheetahs, Asrael and Bappe, as they play and relax in their new home. They arrived at the Park in 2020 from Montpellier Zoo in southern France.

See if you can tell them apart; Asrael is identified by the white tip on his tail and Bappe has a black tip!

Cheetah Ridge

Why this inspires us, lodge information, rates and specials, child policy, need to know, why this inspires us.

  • Cheetah Ridge is ideally located halfway between Durban and Johannesburg, this malaria free big 5 game reserve is actually just as close from Johanneberg (if not closer) as if you were going to Madikwe! (just in the opposite direction!).
  • Nambiti is not only within easy reach of central Drakensberg and many historic battlefields but also boasts some of the most spectacular landscapes! (We love the fact that we saw a large amount of plains game!)
  • The 10 luxury suites are stylish with floor to ceiling windows combining contemporary luxury with the natural beauty! The best is that each overlooks a private watering-hole – Imagine viewing all sorts of wild animals, congregating at a watering hole at close range, from the comfort of your private viewing deck!
  • We love the fact that each suite has its own fireplace – the perfect winter safari destination – so cosy to come back and just cuddle! (and not to be forgotten, the summers are cooled down by air-conditioning!)
  • For those families, there is a super large, spacious option! A very rare find for those families with more than 2 children!! Above the main building the family suite offers two en-suite bedrooms (one of these rooms has a double and two twin beds) joined by an interleading lounge and the balcony overlooks the beautiful grounds.
  • The homely and comforting atmosphere is felt and you feel like the lodge is a home away from home!

Lodge Information

Creating enduring memories of Africa at their Big 5 safari lodge, where contemporary luxury merges with the timeless natural beauty of the landscape.

Cheetah Ridge Lodge offers an experience which will ignite your inner explorer and satisfy every wildlife enthusiast.

A place with a soul. That’s what conservation visionary Rob le Sueur was searching for when he serendipitously stumbled on the land that now forms the backbone of Nambiti Private Game Reserve.

Set in an untamed, yet malaria-free, African paradise that is accessible from both Johannesburg and Durban. Not satisfied with leaving it at that however, Rob took it one step further – he decided to convert the original, grey-stone manor house on one of the properties into a luxury lodge, where Mother Nature’s bounty could not only be preserved, but enjoyed in comfort in lodgings sympathetic to the surrounding environment, for generations to come.

And so from such modest beginnings, Cheetah Ridge Lodge was born.

Whatever your accommodation preference, wildlife is always within viewing distance – and earshot – at Cheetah Ridge Lodge Imagine viewing hippos, waterbuck and a host of other wild animals, congregating at a watering hole at close range, from the comfort of your private viewing deck.

Or in the early morning, observing the African Fish Eagle, known as ‘the voice of Africa’ for its distinctive ringing cry, makes a ‘kill’ as it swoops down to feed on its primary diet of fish, snatching its prey from the water with its large, clawed talons.

And, when you turn in for the night, enjoying the solitude and splendour of this pristine wilderness, with just the whistling call of the fiery-necked nightjar to lull you to sleep.

Luxury Suites Situated away from the lodge, their 10 king-size luxury suites overlook a private watering-hole, enabling guests to observe a vast array of African wildlife from the privacy of their own personal viewing deck.

Serviced daily, each free-standing suite is equipped with a bath, shower and en-suite toilet, with a pod-hanging chair to take in the unfolding bush scenes before you.

Air-conditioning and ceiling fans for balmy summer evenings, with a Bosca Fireplace and Nespresso coffee machine for chilly nights, complete the picture to ensure a luxurious, yet homely, stay.

Family Suites Consisting of two en-suite bedrooms joined by an interleading private lounge area, as well as a balcony overlooking the beautiful Cheetah Ridge grounds, their family suite is the perfect option for families with children, or small groups who would still like the option of being fully catered for.

All suites are air-conditioned, come with a Nespresso machine and are serviced daily.

Cheetah Ridge Lodge ought to be your ultimate safari getaway, whether you like to dine al fresco beneath a lit fig tree or alone in the bush on the Nambiti Private Game reserve.

Nambiti Private Game Reserve is one of just three private Big 5 game reserves inKwaZulu-Natal, boasting incredible game-viewing without the crowds. Cheetah Ridge is alos located in a malaria-free area – for a bush experience without the worry.

Observe wildlife and absorb knowledge from your experienced guide on morning and afternoon game drives in our Big 5 reserve.

Twice daily, their skilled guides take guests on captivating and educational game drives.
