We stayed 3 nights the first week of November in Room 8. We are well travelled over the last 20 years but Leopard Hills might be the most amazing place we have ever stayed. The room overlooking the bush veld and watering hole was beautiful and exactly as pictured on their website. We could watch George, the resident hippo aas well as impala, buffalo and lions from our deck as they visited the watering hole. The staff at Leopard Hills are so friendly and helpful that I don't even know how to describe how pleasant they were. They made you feel like they had known you for a long time, always calling you by your first name. Two that stood out to us were Neville and Steve, but all were great. The owner, Duncan, and reception staff, Tammy, were clearly intent that you were having a great experience and that the lodge and game drives were meeting your expectations. They were very conversational and educational and enjoyable. The food is plentiful and you will not go hungry. The pace of your day is up to you but the schedule for the game drives, breakfast, lunch and dinner allows you anywhere from 2 – 2hr breaks to simply relax in your room or deck or up to 6 hours to do as you wish. I really wish we had scheduled at least two more days.

The game drives are obviously the main reason for going to Leopard Hills and these far exceeded our expectations. Hugo and Mowell were wonderful and on our first morning drive we saw all of the “Big 5”! Hugo was absolutely wonderful and educational telling us about each animal and their behavior and how the entire ecosystem of the bush land worked. He was humorous and always answered questions. Watching him and Mowell interact when tracking a leopard or the cheetah we found was fascinating. They clearly enjoyed what they do and were intent on giving their guests the best experience possible. I would strongly recommend Leopard Hills, without any reservation to anyone considering a safari trip and hope that we might be able to return some day.

My wife and I have been to high end hotels/resorts all over the world and hands down Leopard Hills is most fantastic place we have ever stayed. I don't even know where to begin. From the moment our guide picked us up at the airport to the the time he dropped us off (and waited for us to board the plane), we received the most impeccable service from the entire staff. There are only 8 cabins (16 guests) and there is over 60 staff! The staff become your friends.

The food is fantastic. If there is nothing on the menu that you want, the chef will make you almost anything on earth. Not questions asked. BTW, you might enjoy a monkey or two

The game drives are something that is unforgettable. Leopard Hills has gorgeous open Landrovers that have been modified to fit 6 people in a stadium seating configuration. Our guide, Hugo, was beyond fantastic. He knew an amazing amount about each animal that we saw, super funny, answered all the questions we asked and simply loved his job (and my wife says he is really good looking!). Hugo did his very best to make sure we saw every animal possible in the bush. During each drive, we would take a 20 minute break and the guide and tracker would set up a full bar with cocktails, wine, beer and snacks.

When my wife and I returned to our cabin following our evening game drive on our last night, the staff surprised us flowers all over our bed, a bubble bath with champagne, and a 4-5 course dinner in our room. Keep in mind, this was not our honeymoon.

Its just a fantastic place that I cannot recommend more highly.

Where to start . . . We stayed at Leopard Hill from October 4-7, 2017. We had the most wonderful experience. Staff is top notch. Too many people to name and thank in a small amount of words. Stuart and Congive were the best guide and tracker. We had a great time with them. We learned a lot about the animals and land. Our viewings were outstanding. We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. Our stops during the drives were fun. Accommodations at the lodge were first class. The rooms were so large and beautiful, with every thought and need met. Meals were outstanding. By the time we left the lodge, I felt like I was leaving family. Duncan and his staff really make you feel like you are part of the Leopard Hill Family. Thank you Leopard Hills Lodge for making my dream safari come true. I look forward to visiting again in the future.
