Experience Chitwa Cuisine

An African Dining Experience

At Chitwa Chitwa, meals are as much a social feast as a culinary one, designed to create a relaxed atmosphere for sharing in the day’s excitement. Lunch and breakfast are served next to the pool in the thatched lapa overlooking the lake, while dinners are served in the open-air boma around a roaring fire or in our elegant and stylish dining room.

Dining experiences are varied according to your stay duration

You can also enjoy drinks in the lounge bar or rummage through our rather unique, underground wine cellar built around the natural granite rock floor. It stocks selected South African and imported wines, adding to the unique Mediterranean and African cross-culture cuisine that we’re famous for.

Extraordinary

Dine under the stars

A typical day in the African bush is often concluded by a sumptuous feast in the ‘boma’, which is the word for ‘enclosure’ in Shangaan. Dine under the stars by the enchanting glimmer of fire and candle light and share in an integral part of traditional African culture. Our elaborate, authentic boma dinners are accompanied by a sought after wine-list to complete a unique Chitwa Chitwa culinary experience.

What our visitors have to say:

Trip of a Lifetime

The accommodations are luxurious and spacious. The food was great and I love the different dining arrangements for dinner, like dining out in the bush with a wood fire pizza oven and full bbq! We not only saw the Big 5, we were fortunate enough to see the Big 7 thanks to Deon! It was truly the trip of a lifetime. I can't recommend a visit to Chitwa Chitwa enough.

Interesting Lodge & Game Drives

This is an interesting stop on our Safari journey. The staff were excellent in terms of lodge service. The game drives were interesting and we saw a wide variety of game. The lodge on a very positive note overlooks a lake with animals visiting across from the lake and hippos in the lake.

Wonderful from Morning to Nighttime

We had a wonderful time at Chitwa Chitwa. The villa was amazing and the whole flow of the days were perfect from morning to night. Everything was considered in advance by the team. We had originally thought that 4 days could have been too long but it wasn't and we could have stayed longer. We'll be back.

The Most Incredible Safari Experience

My husband and I spent the most memorable 4 days at Chitwa Chitwa. If there is one holiday we want to repeat, it would be to go on a safari again! The animal sightings were so incredible and plentiful over our 8 game drives. The suites were enormous and luxurious, the food was delicious (and so much food), the staff were exceptional and no ask was ever too big. We felt we had the place to ourselves as it’s all very private.

The magic of Chitwa Chitwa

Never in my life and travels has a place left such an imprint on me. From the moment we landed in Sabi Sands, Daniel, our guide, was there to meet our party with a warm welcome. Each day brought incredible adventures and animal sightings. Chitwa offers a unique setting for watching animals throughout the day. Thank you Chitwa Chitwa, we will never forget you!
