Inspires Us

  • To us – Leopard Hills is a hidden secret! The Lodge is perfectly set on a rocky outcrop, offering magnificent views over the bush and an active waterhole on the plains below.
  • 5 of the Suites are raised and overlook theSabi Sands reserve and here you can enjoy the views while taking a dip in your plunge pool – a box you definitely want to tick!
  • 3 of the Suites (one that we were lucky enough to experience) are facing the bush. Wow – with our own watering hole PLUS a plunge pool that animals encountered were up close and personal – we did not even have to move from our suite! Jaw-dropping experience!
  • The floor to ceiling windows stretching along the full front expanse of the suites give you a chance to enjoy the views from the comfort of your own bed or while you relax in a bubble bath!
  • Those small personal touches are what also makes the difference to make your stay extra special! This is due to the friendly warm service you receive and best of all the managing couple is still there today from 1998 – with even the daughters stepping in to help now!
  • The spa is a wonderful excuse to enjoy a treatment while overlooking the stunning reserve
  • Situated in the ‘Big 5’ world-renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve is indeed an amazing thing with the close encounters with majestic animals and large number and quality of leopard sightings that’ll have you coming back!

Information

The award-winning Leopard Hills is located in the western sector of the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, bordering the world famous Kruger National Park. Leopard Hills offers over 10 000 ha. of traversing which includes access to the perennial Sand River to the north and the Savannah plains to the south.

Boasting incredibly diverse ecosystems makes Leopard Hills the ideal destination to view plentiful game in its natural habitat. Here the ‘Big 5’ abound and viewing them at close proximity is their speciality. Sensational game viewing and a wide variety of activities, along with outstanding fine dining, attended to by professional and friendly staff, all create the safari experience of a lifetime.

This Sabi Sand lodge is perfectly set on a rocky outcrop, offering magnificent views over the bush and an active waterhole on the plains below.

Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve is owned by Louis Kruger and Jack Brotherton, and opened in March 1998 on the Ululapa Farm, which has been in the Kruger Family since 1983.

Since its inception, Leopard Hills has prided itself in delivering some of the best game viewing experiences Africa has to offer. Their philosophy is to offer guests the ultimate safari experience in a sustainable way, ensuring the safety and security of wildlife for generations to come.

Suites

Leopard Hills five-star luxury lodge features eight exquisite renovated and redecorated suites.
Complete with their own sundeck and plunge pool, the suites offer superb views of the African bushveld. The suites are generously spacious and luxuriously appointed with air-conditioning and overhead fans. The breathtaking romantic bathrooms include indoor and outdoor showers, which open to a glorious view of the passing cavalcade. So if you’re looking for luxurious Sabi Sand accommodation, you’re in exactly the right place!

The comfortable beds are fitted with crisp percale cotton linen, silk duvets and pillows, and gracious mosquito netting. An inviting lounge with views over the bush creates the ideal setting to relax with a book or while away the afternoon with a pair of binoculars, 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 on your pool lounger outside on your expansive deck, whilst listening to the tranquil sounds of the surrounding bush.

Dining

The team of dedicated chefs at Leopard Hills ensures that every meal at Leopard Hills becomes a culinary occasion. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea-time treats, are prepared by their team of chefs, they blend flavours from around the globe complemented with an African flair. Leopard Hills goes to great lengths to accommodate guests with specialist dietary requirements (allergies, vegetarian and plant based diets etc) – delicious meals will be tailored around individual needs.

Traditional full English and Continental breakfasts are served on the main deck after the early morning game drive and are the perfect way to start each day at the Lodge. Lunches are served under big shady umbrellas, and are an occasion in themselves! The team incorporates the best locally produced ingredients to produce cuisine that satisfies the taste buds. No dinner will ever be the same at Leopard Hills, from dining under the African sky in their traditional boma to fine silver service dinners in their dining room, or out on the upper deck where a cool breeze is a welcome relief from the African heat.

The bar and lounge entices guests to pre- or post-dinner drinks and fireside chat with their friendly ranger. Their professional barmen will mix together the freshest ingredients to make interesting and unique cocktails and drinks to suit all tastes. A nightcap of the finest whiskey, port or South African Amarula is the perfect way to end the day.

Safari

Your safari at Leopard Hills has been carefully planned around the best game viewing opportunities. Their knowledgeable and professional rangers conduct early morning and late afternoon/evening game drives, in search of Africa’s big game. The latest state-of-the-art open game drive vehicles, specifically designed for Leopard Hills, have individual bucket seats and centre consoles, ensuring your optimum safety and comfort.

Leopard Hills prides itself with the best rangers in the business, and they offer a safari experience like no other, from sightings of big game in their natural surroundings, to the smaller flora and fauna, which make this piece of paradise a place we are privileged to call home.

The most productive times to enjoy game viewing are first thing in the morning before the heat of the day kicks in, and late afternoon as the day starts to cool down ensuring further animal movement. Darkness brings about a time of both danger and respite in the bush which allows you to possibly spot smaller carnivores such as genet or civet not usually seen during the day. This is also the time when most predators hunt so your evening game drive could potentially be the most exciting of all.
