LEOPARD HILLS PRIVATE GAME RESERVE

Leopard Hills is set within the world famous Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, on the western border of the great Kruger National Park. The Kruger Park (a 5.5 million acre sanctuary for wildlife, bigger than Wales or Massachusetts) is widely regarded as Africa's premier game reserve, and animals move back and forth between Kruger and the Sabi Sand Reserve, unhindered by fences. This south-western section of Kruger is one of the most game-rich areas within the reserve, and is home to Africa's greatest diversity of animals. During your stay you will have the opportunity to view, in privacy and at very close quarters, such magnificent animals as elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, as well as a host of other species, large and small.

Game-drive safaris at Leopard Hills are conducted in specially adapted open Landrovers, with professional guides and trackers to help find animals, and then provide interesting background information and facts about Africa's spectacular wildlife. Leopard Hills also offers night drives with spot lamps to view nocturnal species. Interpretive bush walks with your tracker provide even deeper and more 'hands-on' insight into the many intricate eco-systems of the African bush. All guides and trackers are carefully chosen for their knowledge and experience of the bush, and receive training to ensure that your encounters with the African wilderness are exciting, informative, and safe.

Leopard Hills Lodge is built on a rocky outcrop commanding a fine panorama over the lowveld bush. With only eight well-spaced and beautifully appointed suites, Leopard Hills offers a very exclusive atmosphere. Each of the luxurious glass-fronted structures has superb views of the bush beyond. A Victorian free-standing bath, spacious indoor and outdoor showers, and a two-tier cascading plunge pool nestled into a private deck completes this paradise.

At Leopard Hills the attention to detail and level of service are truly exceptional. Your suite is adorned with a continuous supply of fresh flowers and hand-written notes. Both the architecture and decor feature special innovative details such as inlaid Marula pips, wooden graphics and paw prints pressed into the polished floors, animals expertly appliquéd on the edges of white cotton sheets, sculpted iron geckos crawling up the walls and Kudu horn light fixtures.

Evening meals are often taken on the deck of the main lodge, overlooking an illuminated waterhole. Expertly prepared venison is almost always featured, along with more traditional Western fare. Brunch is similarly special with mounds of fresh fruit and home baked muffins to compliment tasty omelettes and quiches.

At Leopard Hills the atmosphere is fun and informal, yet very stylish and sophisticated. The game-viewing is of the absolute highest standard. It is a very special place, and we thoroughly recommend it to the discerning bush traveller.
