One of the great experiences you can live during your trip to south africa es stay in a lodge inside of the Kruger Park.
Without a doubt, having accommodation in a lodge in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by animals in freedom, it should be essential when signing up for a Kruger photo safari.
During my recent trip to Africa Adventure I was able to see it during our stay at the Cheetah Plains lodge located in the reserve Sabi Sands, in the Kruger Park.
Live this experience in a private reserve as Sabi Sands It has the great advantage that you are not going to stay in a hotel in the area adjacent to the Kruger Park and then do the bus safari without being able to really get close to the animals.
Choosing a private reserve for your safari allows you to truly immerse yourself in the jungle, and this includes a stay in a lodge as Cheetah Plains, which only has nine bedroom cabins, which ensures a very exclusive service.

Butwhat is a lodge like in Sabi Sands?
The private reserve of Sabi Sands It has an area of about 65.000 hectares that are delimited by fences that separate it from the rest of the natural park.
The lodge as Cheetah Plains They are located on the banks of the ponds that are formed by the two rivers that cross the reserve. That is the best way to ensure that from the very lodge You can see the animals that come every day attracted by the water.
El lodge It has a large main cabin where the bar, the rest room and the restaurant are located. Next to it is the pool with a viewpoint towards the pond where, in the case of our trip, we were able to see a herd of buffaloes.
Six standard cabins, two luxury, and another with capacity for four people are distributed around it. Prices per night start at 280 euros, with meals and safaris included.
Know that the entire enclosure Cheetah Plains It is surrounded by an electric fence, or that at night you cannot move around it without the essential company of an employee, it undoubtedly gives you the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle.
If in addition, during dinner in the outside area of the restaurant you are seeing an elephant around the restaurant, lodge, or hear the nearby roar of a lion, you understand the reason for these precautions.
Furthermore, during the night you cannot leave the sleeping cabin, which reminds you of the roar of some animal that wanders by the door of your cabin.
An overnight stay includes a sunset and morning game drive.
It's my trip we stayed two nights, so in the four safaris we had the opportunity to see them "“Big Five”, the five large mammals (elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, lions and leopards) that you can find in this Kruger Park Private Reserve.
Getting up at four-thirty in the morning to start the safari when the sun has not yet risen above the horizon can bring you surprises such as finding a leopard at the very door of the lodge during his wandering around the premises.
He is his own guide lodge who during the safari will lead you through the different trails of the exclusive area that is available Cheetah Plains, about 8.000 hectares, where you can see the large mammals practically alone, hardly coinciding with any other vehicle. lodges neighbors.
In short, I can tell you that it is one of the experiences that you will never forget.
