Situated in the Guernsey Nature Reserve close to Hoedspruit, Cheetah Paw Eco Lodge as only been open for a year, and already they attracting LOTS of attention. With their 
stunning newly built luxury tented accommodation (a combination of stunning canvas and plastered brick) this eco lodge is going to go places. Classically decorated comfortable rooms. Full bathrooms with an inside and outside shower. Managed by the darling Doris and her equally darling husband Juergen, both originally from Germany , the lodge is a hit with locals as well as the international tourist. I was also lucky to spend time with Amy, the lodge’s qualified tour guide and Assistant Manager. Amy also 
guides all the activities at the lodge and speaks English, Afrikaans, German and Dutch.
What to do: Well for me, I could have lounged around on my gorgeous deck, checking out the mountains in the distance all day, but for others who would like to do more that schlepp 
around, there are game drives on the reserve, as well as in the neighbouring conservancies where guests can see the Big 5. Exquisite cuisine is served on the deck in the summers or in the cosy dining area during the chilly winter months (which, to be honest, isn’t even chilly :). 
There is also a fully stocked bar where guests can ‘kuier’ and watch the magnificent sunsets before dinner is served. Oh yes…although I have never had the patience of mastering the art of bird watching, I have it under good authority that the Guernsey reserve is a bird watchers paradise. Cheetah Paw offers dinner bed and breakfast, with lunch provided on request.
