Leopard Hills, built on a hill overlooking a natural waterhole and close to the perennial Sand River, truly lives up to its name.
This exclusive lodge traverses over 10 000 hectares in the western sector of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and offers some of the best Big 5 game viewing in Southern Africa.
With only eight beautifully appointed suites, Leopard Hills offers as much privacy as you could wish for. Each of the luxurious glass-fronted suites has superb views of the bushveld beyond, while air-conditioning and overhead fans provide added comfort against the African bush.
The private deck and rock plunge pools are perfect venues for relaxing with a drink from the fully stocked mini-bar. The suites are complete with all the comforts you could desire, including romantic bathrooms with Victorian ball-and-claw bath and double indoor and outdoor shower.
Experience the spectacular Cascade & Canyon Helicopter flight over the Blyde River Canyon or enjoy 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!
At Leopard Hills, Africas big game abounds and each day is different, as you explore the endless fascination of Africas wildlife in custom-designed deluxe land rovers.
Early morning and late afternoon / evening game drives in search of Africas big game, are conducted by your knowledgeable, professional ranger.
Back at camp you will find the highest standards of service, delicious cuisine and a warm friendly atmosphere, which is the special feature of Leopard Hills.
