Stay in another lodge at the reserve. You are treated poorly at cheetah ridge
The reserve.Thankfully there are other lodges near by eg ndaka, where you can stay to enjoy the reserve, as the hospitality in cheetah ridge especially by lodge manager is poor! Stay at any other lodge than cheetah ridge, because here they treat you as if hosting you is favor and not something you paid for.
Two individuals in particular, lodge manager and 'private chef' had really bad attitudes and ruined the experience. The food was of poor quality especially for the amount paid to stay in this lodge.what was presented on day 1 was more a version of boiled meat. For the family we were told we can order only 1 protein for family of 9 where preferences vary per individuals. How can individual not order what they prefer.Prior to the stay we were asked if we had any dietary requirements, which were listed. I was called by an individual at the lodge to respond to my email, where he guaranteed that dietary requirements are taken care of, I specifically asked about an ala carte menu and he said food served in the dining hall is the same food given to the farmhouse. Yet on arrival that was a different, and the menu presented to us, despite a 'private chef' had options which were specifically excluded from our dietary requirements. Word to the wise insist your queries are answered in email and don't accept their calls as confirmation.When the issue arose with the food, and restriction of 1 protein, we asked how is it an ala carte menu is presented to others in the lodge where they can have their preference of food, yet at the farmhouse we are limited to 1 choice per family of 9 ,they both were very aggressive. The lodge manager at no point had given me a communication line to him, however was insisting I don't talk to staff but talk to him, despite being pointed to diff individuals the whole day.He in quotes said "Im in a mood to fight", without trying to resolve the issue. My tone at no point was raised. He has no dispute resolution skills. He thereafter aggressively approached my family, when a review was posted on Google and in his book at the farmhouse that we delete our reviews, for voicing our opinions.There are many other lodges in the reserve whose hospitality is far superior to cheetah ridge.

Our new Hone away from home.
Attention to details was exceptional. The staff made us feel like kings / they truly went above my expectations. The facilities are super modern and comfortable. The kitchen service was superb
The prices were a bit on the high side but one could easily see the value.
