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.
