Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa

Leopard Hills Safari Lodge

This property focuses on the honeymoon market and the rooms are quite sweet. The lodge is set on a hill with a lively waterhole at the bottom that is really cool to watch. They don't charge as much as some of the ultra-luxury properties, but are not as cool and hip either.  — Mango's view

Leopard Hills Safari Lodge is built on a hill that overlooks a natural waterhole within Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve. The Reserve traverses over 10,000 hectares in the western sector of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Each of the 8 luxurious glass-fronted suites, complete with their own sundeck and heated rock plunge pool offer superb views of the African bushveld beyond.

Air conditioning and overhead fans provide welcome respite against the harsh African heat. The romantic bathrooms include double indoor and outdoor showers. The comfortable beds are complete 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 area is equipped with a comfortable couch and ottoman, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea or coffee while reading a novel.

Back at camp, you will be spoiled by the highest standards of service. Our team's utter dedication and pure passion to pleasing each guest according to his or her needs is prevalent in every aspect of the lodge, and particularly the central area. The main deck is perfect for wiling the day away with a pair of binoculars in the glorious sun or under the shade of an umbrella. From this view you may find many untold secrets of the African bush while enjoying a sumptuous breakfast or decadent lunch. When the heat is on, sink below the refreshing surface of the main swimming pool.

The bar and lounge entices every guest to a pre- or post-dinner drink and fireside chat with your friendly ranger. The professional barmen will mix together the finest in ingredients to make interesting and unique cocktails and drinks to sample throughout the evening. The dining room has a beautiful view of a waterhole beyond, and holds the finest in silver service dinners. The wine cellar underneath the dining room is a treat for the avid wine connoisseur as well as the learning amateur, and is brimming with racks of celebrated local and international wines.

Activities at Leopard Hills Safari Lodge are varied and exciting, guests can choose from fantastic game drives in the bush, searching for the Big Five, or browsing through the large selection of literature in the well stocked library. There is also a spa for those needing a relaxing treatment after a day in the bush.
