Not cheap but so worth it!
“Chichele Presidential is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and elegant safari lodges I have ever been to. The service is truly top notch. The food is absolutely fantastic. Our butler, Bernard, took super good care of us. Our hostesses Miriam and Macha were angels and our guide (also of our first ever walking safari!) Lambs was magnificent. We had a total of six sightings of five different leopards and many many lions not to mention the elephants, buffaloes etc.” Date of stay: June 2025

Elegant Safari Experience
“Chichele Presidential was only recently opened when we arrived. It is very elegant; beautiful fittings and object-d’art and comfortable, but felt impersonal. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and the food excellent. The suite was spacious and comfortable. The safaris were excellent lead by our very knowledgeable guide Andrew; we saw everything we could have hoped for including zebra, giraffe, lions, leopards, a porcupine, genet, hyenas and many beautiful birds. We enjoyed the sundowners over looking the river.” Date of stay: June 2025
