Going on safari in South Africa promises the adventure of a lifetime, but what about the carbon footprint that comes with it? Cheetah Plains Lodge offers discerning, eco-conscious travelers a luxury solution thanks to a number of innovative, eco-smart initiatives.

Carbon Negative Conservation

Not only that, all the lodge’s safari vehicles are solar-powered and electric, offering zero-emission game viewing and significantly reducing CO2 emissions when compared to traditional safari vehicles.

Off-grid Accommodations

All accommodations at Cheetah Plains Lodge are entirely off-grid, running purely on solar energy. The lodge’s singular approach to a zero-emission operation includes initiatives like energy efficiency, water stewardship, waste reduction, and eco-smart purchasing practices.
