Wildlife & Activities
The Sabi Sands offers spectacular wildlife viewing, being one of the best areas in Africa to see the Big 5. Chitwa Chitwa offers guests the chance view the abundant wildlife on morning and evening wildlife drives, on bush walks, or from the comfort of the deck when animals come to drink from the lake. The resident wildlife includes leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena, and also wild dog. The guides and trackers at Chitwa Chitwa are outstanding and really add to the quality of the experience. Guests are also invited to visit the nearby community of Dixie, where the community partnership with the camp is in evidence.
