CHEETAH PLAINS MVULA vILLA

Cheetah Plains Mvula Villa is one of the premier, luxury safari villas located within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve.

Dedicated to the once-dominant male leopard whose home range was central to the Cheetah Plains Private Reserve.

Set in a grove of cathedral Tamboti trees, the aura of the Cheetah Plains Mvula residence exudes the force that was Mvula.

Known for his hunting prowess and regal stature, Mvula’s matchless potency and adaptive nature saw him siring many cubs, securing his noble bloodline.

In this distinctive setting that is Cheetah Plains, his revered spirit lives on. 

Each villa at Cheetah Plains essentially takes the same form, comprising two parts:

A shared living space and private guest accommodation.

Your shared space houses both a formal and entertainment lounge, living and dining room areas, a swimming pool deck, an outdoor boma for fireside dining, a fine wine gallery, and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen.

Each of the four private guest suites includes an open plan bedroom and lounge, Walk-in dressing room and dual vanity, full bathroom, separate WC, and deck.
