Accommodation Description


Cheetah Ridge Lodge, formerly Woodlands Farm, is a historic safari haven in Ladysmith, KwaZulu Natal, tracing its roots back to the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. Once a cattle and citrus farm owned by the Anderson family, it now houses a luxury lodge, blending heritage with modern comfort. The original farmhouse, built by Dudley Charles Anderson, is integral to the lodge, exuding character and warmth. Accommodations at Cheetah Ridge include 10 luxury suites, a spacious family suite for six, and The Farmhouse – a five-bedroom self-catering retreat with a private butler, boma, plunge pool, and panoramic bush views. Every suite offers a private viewing deck overlooking a watering hole, providing an intimate wildlife experience.


Setting Description


Located within the southern expanse of the 10,000-hectare Nambiti Private Game Reserve in the KwaZulu Natal region of South Africa, Cheetah Ridge Lodge offers a scenic bush retreat. The reserve, a mosaic of savannah, grasslands, and acacia-studded thornveld, teems with diverse wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and rhinos. The unique landscape sets the stage for an extraordinary safari experience, where guests can immerse themselves in nature's bounty – from twice daily game drives, al fresco dining beneath a 111-year-old Natal Fig tree to rejuvenating spa treatments and more.

Highly recommend

What an amazing 3 days at Cheetah Ridge. Food, Service, friendliness and attention to detail were fantastic. Above and beyond our expectations. Game Drives with Lebo were so exciting, and we got to see so much. He has such a wealth of knowledge to share. Accommodation was superb. Great choice of fabulous wines to choose from. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back.
