We loved the large shared living space where we could spend time during the day together as a whole family, while the bedrooms were individually placed for some more privacy and quite for those afternoon naps. The viewing deck and waterhole was perfect with some game viewing action throughout the day. The house was very well equipped and we saw the big five during our stay. The place was even beter than the photos

Chacma is the perfect place from which to explore the big 5 and the broader SA safari experience. The setting is natural and beautiful with meals eaten outside to make the most of the waterhole and potential for wildlife spotting. Between safari rides comfortable rooms, shady spots across the camp and the pool provide the perfect setting for reading and relaxation. With just three rooms at Chacma, you’re guaranteed a much more intimate experience than staying at a bigger location. As a solo traveller the real highlight was the friendly and fun team behind Chacma: Matt, Josh and Charlie are fantastic, passionate guides who guaranteed that each trip out provided memorable, safe experiences while Karen, Lynx and the wider team at Chacma ensured a comfortable stay. You’ll learn so much from this team and they are only too happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. A special place I can’t wait to return to.

We were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

An exceptional location with magnificent views, experiences and staff. You really feel like you’re visiting a long term friend’s house when you’re here, but you’re meeting some other friends (guests) too! The pool is exceptional, the food was incredible, the game drives were always more than expected!

The location on the river was perfect so much game viewing possible from terrace. Villa spacious with own pool but resort pool was lovely as well. Lunch and dinner served to you very nice and often 2 wines and a desert wine offered in the evenings. Breakfast was a buffet poss could have had more pastries etc but was still good. Staff were very accommodating.

Staff very welcoming and couldn't do more upon arrival and throughout the day. Facilities were great and they made a real effort to ensure the stay was romantic and enjoyable. Game drives were fantastic and the drivers knew exactly where to go. My partner had a massage which was really good value for money. Pool was nice to cool off after a long day tracking the animals! You will see the big 5 at this reserve!

An incredible lodge! Very remote and a vehicle with ground clearance is highly recommended. But you are rewarded with a breathtaking view from the terrace. While you cool your feet in the pool, you have the best view of nature. We saw several elephants and giraffes passing right by the fence. The next day there was a live hunt by two lions for impallas. We would never have dared to dream of it. Besides the gamedrives, bushwalks and safaris in the Kruger, you should definitely plan a day on the terrace. It's definitely worth it.
