My partner and I recently had the pleasure of Staying at Cheetah Ridge and it was the most unforgettable trip. We got engaged during our stay and the team went above and beyond for us. I can’t recommend them enough and would like to sincerely thank every member of staff for making the guest experience so special. Additionally, Nambiti is a beautifully managed reserve and it was a privilege to spend time exploring it with our guide.

This was an awesome time making memories and celebrating our birthdays. Luxurious, friendly and welcoming. This is a team that is wholesome and friendly, service orientated and wanting you to come back the next week. I want to thank everyone from the garden staff to management for making this the special time we were hoping to have.

We cannot thank the staff at Cheetah Ridge enough. Your kindness, warmth, friendliness and professionalism. What a fun way to celebrate wrapping up our wedding with friends at Cheetah Ridge. The food and drinks were incredible! The service was truly outstanding and the rooms were beautiful. I think we can all say that the massages were some of the best we’ve ever had. And our tour guides Ryan and Cade were such fun, making sure we got to see as many animals as we could - which was all of them! We had an epic time and can’t thank you guys enough :)

Thank you so much, Cheetah Ridge family, for a truly remarkable and top tier experience. The customer service was comforting and professional since I started enquiring about our trip. Email communication between myself, Xoli and Thobela was seamless. I had 16 people in tow- including toddlers and the guides, Leslie and Ryan were phenomenal. Siphesihle, our butler was so kind, respectful and smiling throughout our stay. I would come to Cheetah Ridge over and over again. The food never disappointed- we were also spoilt with a varied meat braai. The animal sightings were nothing short of exceptional- everyone was thoroughly impressed. Our highlights were the 2 lionesses and lion, the rhino and buffalo. We had booked the Farmhouse, 1 family suite and a luxury suite overlooking the waterhole- all very clean, charming and a haven during the cold evenings. I have never see such a spread for a drinks stop- abundant and delicious. We had so much fun with the family and my husband (surprised birthday boy) could not stop passing his gratitude. We will be back for a romantic getaway next time.

Thad the absolute pleasure of staying at Cheetah Ridge and I must say - it was nothing short of exquisite. The lodge itself is breathtaking but what truly elevated the experience was our exceptional guide Cayde. Thanks to his expertise and great passion, we not only encountered a few bucket list animals but also gained a wealth of fascinating insights about the bush. An unforgettable and enriching experience in every sense, we will be back!
