Affordable Luxury Accommodation Near Kruger Park

Welcome to Cheetah Paw Safari Lodge

About Us
Your Gateway to Kruger & The Wild

Located in the Guernsey Private Nature Reserve near Hoedspruit, Cheetah Paw Safari Lodge is a 4-star tented and chalet lodge situated less than an hour from Kruger National Park’s Orpen Gate. Because the reserve has no inner fences, wild animals like zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and impalas freely roam past the lodge. Both our chalets and luxury tents feature private decks facing natural waterholes, giving you front-row views of the surrounding bushveld.

Built with a minimal environmental footprint to keep the property as natural as possible, our small eco-lodge focuses on personal service, fresh homemade food, and a quiet bush atmosphere. Guests can enjoy set 3-course dinners on the viewing deck, relax around the boma bonfire under the stars, or cool off in the swimming pool while watching wildlife drink at the waterhole below.
