During our stay at the Cheetah Ridge Lodge in Nambiti Game Reserve we had the opportunity to experience not only the best braai spot to date, but also an unforgettable glamping experience. It was an African experience we will be sharing stories about for years to come.
The Luxury Tents
As we were being shown to our luxurious houses where we would be spending the night, our escort informed us that these are the most eco-friendly units on the whole reserve. When we walked through our doors the first thing we noticed was the giant windows looking over a watering hole less than 100 meters away.
Each unit comes with a bath worthy of purchasing for your own home, a king sized bed, a Nespresso machine (that did not go unused) and a wooden feel that really adds to the experience of living in the African wilderness.
That Braii
Upon returning from our incredible morning game drives, instead of being delivered back to the lodge we were taken out on top of a hill where we could see lunch was cooking as fresh juice was being handed out as we walked up to the most beautiful outdoor setting we have ever seen.
It was hard to not over eat as we indulged and looked out onto the nearby waterfall where we swam. Traveling with a group of people with dietary requirements ranging up to kid standards was no hassle to the chefs using their makeshift kitchen amongst the flora.
This was by far the best lunch experience I have ever had!
Final Thoughts
In the end you can have the best looking suites situated right in front of every possible animal, but if the customer service falls flat it can honestly leave a sour taste in your mouth. This is where Cheetah Ridge exceeds by offering the best of both worlds – some of the best service I have ever received backed up by their very luxurious suites.
