Leopard Hills

An unforgettable first safari experience in the Sabi Sands. Leopard Hills truly exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived. Our guide, Dieter, was incredibly knowledgeable, and tracker Ronald was fantastic. His tracking skills were impressive and his sundowner gin and tonics were a highlight at the end of each drive.||The lodge has a real family feel, with a team that genuinely cares about their guests. The food was a standout throughout our stay, consistently excellent and thoughtfully prepared. The game drives were outstanding. Within just two or three drives we managed to see all of the Big Five, including an incredible moment watching a leopard leap into a tree, as well as wild dogs.||What really sets Leopard Hills apart is the staff. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and often anticipated our needs before we even knew what we wanted. A special mention to Clearance from the F&B team, who went above and beyond to make our final evening truly memorable.||We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend Leopard Hills to anyone looking for a special safari experience.

What can I say. It was absolutely fabulous from start to finish.....paradise on earth. I was there for 5 nights at the beginning of May in suite # 4. ||Everything about the lodge is first class from the suites to the shared areas and most importantly the Leopard Hills team. ||The suite was spotless, large and had everything you could possibly need or want from the minibar (refilled every day) to the smaller touches such as insect repellant, tissues and all the necessary soaps, shampoos etc. The housekeeping team came in twice a day and at night they shut all the curtains and put the mosquito nets down.||The team at Leopard Hills are truly awesome. Always smiling, friendly and attentive but not at all obtrusive. They seemed to think of things before you even asked or needed them, and always used my name. ||The food was absolutely delicious, varied plentiful and beautifully cooked and presented by Cobus and his team.||I wasn't going to mention names because every single person was brilliant, but I will mention Carmen (food and beverages manager) who was so warm and friendly. I must also mention Selina who give me a massage to die for.||We all go on safari to see the wildlife and at Leopard Hills you will not be disappointed. My guide was Johan and along with his tracker (apologies for forgetting the name).|| Johan was brilliant with us (I shared the vehicle with another couple). We saw all the big 5 on our first day along with many other animals. He was so knowledgeable funny and personable all at the same time. His passion and care for the animals and environment was there for all to see.|| Yes, it is an early start for the morning drive, but the joy and the privilege of seeing the animals in their true home is awe inspiring and something I will never forget.||I cannot wait to be back there next May and see my second family again.

A stay at Leopard Hills is an amazing, unforgettable experience. The staff are exceptionally nice, the cottages and common areas are clean and well maintained, delicious meals served, and the Big 5 game viewing is likely above anywhere else. Its Sabi Sands location provides an intimate feel both on premises and in the bush. How special to sit in an open-air Land Cruiser, just you and your fellow passengers, and enjoy close encounters with Cape buffalo, elephants, leopards, lions, and rhino, among others! Comments from other guests we met mirrored mine. My wife and I are already planning a return. Leopard Hills, highly recommended!

This was by far the best safari experience we have ever had. Leopards Hills is 5 star all the way. The staff are all wonderful hosts led by Duncan they are a brilliant team and made our stay very special. We were in Suite 3 which was beautifully furnished with amazing views of the game reserve, one morning we found an elephant drinking from the plunge pool, just incredible. The game drives with our wonderful guide Morne and his tracker Ronnie were memorable. We saw the big 5 in the first couple of days and so much more. If you want to see leopards dripping from trees this is the place for you. Thank you for making our safari experience exceptional. We will be back.

You could not ask for more. This lodge is set in private reserve. The hotel has only eight suites which are set apart so it is intimate. The accommodation is excellent and really comfortable. It is all inclusive; there is a good range of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks and snacks in the room plus tea and coffee facilities. The meals are very generous and great quality and they can accommodate all dietary needs. It is very easy to over indulge!!! They arrange two safari tours each day with a guide and spotter who were both superb. We saw everything we had hoped to see plus extras. |There is a gym which is useful during the day. There is also a comfortable library area.

This was top notch all the way. Our tour guide Morne, was knowledgeable and passionate about the reserve. We saw every animal on our list and much more. We also took advantage of a walk with Morne and loved learning more about Sabi Sands and the plants and animals that inhabit the Reserve. The food was fantastic and well prepared. We had wonderful choices and there was enough variety to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Our room had a gorgeous view of the valley and we enjoyed our morning coffee watching the elephants and other animals at the pond below. Megs and the entire team went out of their way to ensure our comfort and cater to our every need. This was a bucket list trip and we were not disappointed!

This was what you call an exceptional trip in an exceptional location with exceptional service. Beginning with when we arrived and when we left, the attention to detail was immaculate. Our Ranger, Justin was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and accommodating. Colin, our tracker was equally great. Carmen and Penny kept us fed with great food. I especially appreciated the egg salad sandwiches that I requested, and that sustained me after my departure. Several of my family were gluten-free and they were accommodated beyond expectations. All in all, I would highly recommend this place and the people are what made it worth it!

My wife and I visited Leopard Hills for our honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience. The game drives are exhilarating, the views are picture-perfect - but the best part about Leopard Hills is the people. From the guides & trackers to the food & beverage team, and everyone in between, the people made us feel welcome and special from the moment we arrived. A special thanks to our guide, Johan, for his knowledge and expertise on the game drives, and to Chef Penny for the unbelievable food at every meal. We’ll be back!
