Cheetah Paw Eco Lodge  

Perched in the wild near Hoedspruit and Timbavati, inside the Guernsey Private Nature Reserve. This tented lodge sits minutes from the Orpen Gate to Kruger National Park and close to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre; Hoedspruit Airport is about 49 km away — ideal for safari seekers.

Luxury tented accommodations with air conditioning and private patios or terraces that face a waterhole and the Drakensberg. En-suite bathrooms surprise you with dual basins, bathtubs plus inside and outside showers, and thoughtful extras like laptop safes, hair dryers and tea/coffee facilities. The vibe is relaxed bush-chic — quiet, private and designed for sunset moments.

Cool off in the swimming pool or lounge with a sundowner at the bar while animals visit the waterhole. Tours to Kruger, Big Five game drives, bush walks and panorama tours can be arranged from the lodge. Free self-parking and transfer options help you get around the area.

Complimentary wireless internet in public areas and laptop-compatible safes in rooms. Front-desk services include a safe-deposit box, dry cleaning/laundry and an area or airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

A restaurant and bar/lounge serve daily meals and drinks, with a complimentary continental breakfast each morning. Food is prepared fresh using local ingredients, perfect after a day of safari or a bush walk.
