Leopard Hills Private Game Reserve

Wow, what an incredible experience!! Absolutely everything was just perfect. We're fortunate to have been on many safaris throughout Africa and can honestly say Leopard Hills is right up there with the very best of them. From the moment we arrived, we received such a friendly welcome and felt that we were treated as part of the family and indeed the lodge is managed by Duncan, his wife and his lovely family, which was apparent in the absolutely first class service we received throughout. Our accommodation was stunning with a big deck with a pool with open views over the bush. The property has recently had an extensive, very stylish renovation and we were just blown away by how beautiful our room was. It was pure luxury! The housekeeping was excellent and everything you could possibly wish for was included in our room. The little extra touches were to be seen everywhere. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary whilst we were there and they certainly went above and beyond to make it incredibly memorable. The attention to detail was amazing. The public areas are stunning too. The reception area is so beautiful. There is a large dining deck with unobstructed views over the bush and a really lovely bar area. The service was excellent and the food totally delicious, excellent choices and beautifully presented. The choice of wine, cocktails and all other drinks was first class. Our dinner in the boma on one evening was so very special and, as always, the food delicious. I have to mention Carmen, the Food and Beverages Manager, who was so super friendly and professional. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for her. She looked after us so well. Also Portia in reception who does an excellent job, but all the staff are equally good. Most importantly, the game viewing was just incredible. We were with 2 rangers during our stay, Justin and Stuart, both of whom were so knowledgeable and did the most fantastic job. All our game drives were absolutely superb. The list of animals we saw is endless and the rangers and trackers went the extra mile to give us the best possible safari experience. As to be expected with a name like Leopard Hills, we got very close to not only leopards, but lions too. Without a shadow of a doubt, I could recommend Leopard Hills Private Game Lodge to anyone considering a safari in South Africa. A once in a lifetime amazing luxury safari experience. Thank you so much to all the team at Leopard Hills for their hard work and effort. We were very sad to leave but are hoping to return in the not too distant future.

Stayed for 4 nights and did 7 game drives. Our ranger, Johan, was outstanding - amazing knowledge and personality! Our tracker, Colin, helped us find everything we wanted to see - the “big 5” and more! But the the staff were outstanding too - Rip in the bar, Carmen, too many names to mention. Would recommend 100%.

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.

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.

From the moment we arrived at Leopard Hills, it was absolute perfection. Our expectations were far exceeded from the lodge, amenities, food, staff, guides, hospitality. Our ranger (Morne) and tracker (Sunnyboy) were incredible. Can't wait to come back again. Can't recommend this lodge enough!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Leopard Hills, it was truly a treasure and we were blown away by the accommodations and the friendly staff. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for my husband and I so I put a ton of research into it and am so happy we chose Leopard Hills. There are so many choices but you cannot go wrong with this one. We were in suite #5 per my request and had elephants drinking from our pool daily! It was incredible. The food was always on point which included a Boma (cookout type thing) Our guide Morne was extremely knowledgeable and we saw the big 5 within two game drives! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a perfect safari trip.
