Children Playing In The Sabi Sand Community

Guided Village Tour

Meet the Dixie Community

When you’re not embarking on wild game drives and bush walks, you can try something more cultural and go on a guided village tour at the nearby Dixie Community. It’s a truly memorable and eye-opening experience, especially for those coming from abroad.

Chitwa Chitwa

A special partnership

Dixie is a small village situated close to the Gowrie Gate entrance of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Through our close associations with our neighbours and our love of the area in general, we have cultivated a unique partnership with the Dixie Community in order to contribute to their general upliftment.

Extraordinary

A day in the life of locals

The Cultural Village Excursion affords the opportunity to slip unnoticed into a day in the life of the locals while tapping into the inspiring optimism and energy that is so much part of this little village’s charm. The transfer will be in a Chitwa Chitwa open vehicle and will take about two hours from the time of departure from the lodge.

Nothing short of extraordinary

Safaris, Bush Walks and Feasts

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!
