Fodor's Expert Review Leopard Hills Lodge

Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa

Renowned for its relaxed and informal atmosphere, Leopard Hills is one of the premier game lodges in the Sabi Sands area. Set on a rocky outcrop with panoramic views of the surrounding bushveld, this small lodge offers privacy and luxury. Its main draw is its spectacular game-viewing; during a two-night stay you're almost guaranteed to see the Big Five at close quarters. Rangers are eager to share their knowledge and quick to rush guests off to see big game. The decor has an authentic bush theme, which gels well with the surroundings. Each double room has its own private pool (in addition to the main pool) and deck overlooking the bushveld. Bathrooms have his-and-her showers both indoors and out. 

PROS

  • very experienced and knowledgeable owners/managers
  • many rangers are expert photographers and offer great shooting tips
  • spacious suites

CONS

  • bit of a steep climb to the top of the hill and the main areas
