Leopard Hills Private Game Lodge

Leopard Hills Private Game Lodge is situated in the Western sector of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, bordering the world-famous Kruger National Park. Here the Big 5, Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Buffalo and Leopard abound, and viewing them from open game drive vehicles with experienced rangers at close proximity is Leopard Hill’s speciality. The five-star luxury lodge features fine dining, outstanding cuisine and an extensive wine cellar.

Built on a hill overlooking a natural waterhole, Leopard Hills Private Game Lodge boasts eight newly renovated and exquisitely decorated luxurious glass-fronted suites. Complete with their own sundeck and rock plunge pool, the suites offer superb views of the African bushveld beyond. The suites are generously spacious and immense in stature with air-conditioning and overhead fans. The breathtaking romantic bathrooms include double indoor and outdoor showers, which open to a glorious view of the passing cavalcade. The comfortable beds are fitted with beautiful crisp percale cotton linen, down duvets and pillows, and gracious mosquito netting. A special touch to each suite is the perfection of final touches provided, from weather notes and African poems to a fine array of bath salts and other bathroom amenities. An inviting lounge with breath-taking views over the bush creates the ideal setting to relax with a book or while away the afternoon with a pair of binoculars in the comfort of your air-conditioned suite, a wonderful reprieve from the heat of the midday sun. Enjoy the privacy of your suite and salute the timelessness of Africa over a drink or snack from your fully stocked mini-bar. Savour the day in your hammock or pool lounger outside, whilst listening to the tranquil sound of the surrounding bushveld.

Your knowledgeable and professional ranger will conduct early morning and late afternoon/evening game drives, in search of Africa’s big game. The latest state-of-the-art game drive vehicles, specifically designed for Leopard Hills, have individual bucket seats with fold-down armrests, ensuring your optimum safety and comfort. Leopard Hills prides itself with the best rangers in the business who offer a safari experience like no other, from sightings of big game in their natural surroundings to the smaller flora and fauna. Guided walks with experienced rangers are also on offer. Those with a passion for wildlife photography will be able to get various tips from their ranger on taking the perfect picture while on their game drive or walking safari.

Every meal at Leopard Hills is a special occasion using the freshest locally produced ingredients. The breakfasts, which are served on the main deck, are notable in charm and fulfilment. Lunches are an occasion, served under big shady umbrellas. The personalities of the chef and his team ensure decadent dining and a creative setting with every dinner. Indulge in "soul food" full of flavour from around the world, finished with a touch of Africa in every meal.

Experience an array of bush spa treatments in the privacy of your suite, or in the glass-walled massage sala overlooking the tranquil ambience of the surrounding bush. While you are being pampered or working out in the gym, you may see a herd of elephant drinking at the waterhole!

Elements of nature have been incorporated into this lodge, to provide luxury while experiencing Africa at its best. The professional and friendly staff invite you to a safari experience of a lifetime.

About Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Adjacent to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, the Sabi Sand Game Reserve is famed for its intimate wildlife encounters, particularly leopard viewing. Home to a host of animals, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino), the Sabi Sand is part of a conservation area that covers over two million hectares (almost five million acres), an area equivalent to the state of New Jersey.

With no boundary fences between the Sabi Sand and the Kruger National Park, this reserve benefits from the great diversity of animals found in one of the richest wildlife areas on the African continent, along with the additional benefits experienced on a private game reserve.

Game drives traverse an area of 10, 500 hectares (26, 000 acres) and strict vehicle limits at sightings ensure the exclusivity of the game viewing experience. Sensitive off-road driving ensures that guests have the best possible view of any exceptional sighting and rangers are constantly in touch with each other to keep track of animal movements.
