Safaris of a Lifetime, Footprints That Fade

A Big 5 safari is a journey into the wild heart of Africa. You see lions roam their territory with authority, sleek leopards effortlessly run vertically up a tree, resilient rhinos grazing in the savannah, herds of elephants thumping single-file towards the waterhole, and spotting Cape buffalo zoning in on you (who’s watching who?).

With our world-class guides and expert trackers, our team takes you into the untouched wilderness and includes you in the wild world of the Big 5. You learn about the playful side of animals, how to read and track footprints, and get a glimpse of the extraordinary lives of African wild dogs.

At Chitwa Chitwa, we have an unwavering commitment to protect this beautiful and rich landscape. Our eco-consciousness is woven into every aspect of the luxury lodge, and our initiatives include:

These seemingly small changes greatly impact our surrounding environment, protecting it so it remains raw and untouched for future generations to marvel at.

Whether you’ve been part of our extended family since we opened the lodge in 1991 or if you’ll be visiting Chitwa Chitwa for the first time this year, we’re excited to share special safari moments with you.

Every game drive is a new adventure. With every safari, you’re part of a much bigger story, and you can take memories home without leaving a trace.
