A Big 5 multiple award winning 4 Star lodge, set within an Endangered Species Protected Area offering peace and tranquillity with friendly hospitality. Our beautiful lodge has the most spectacular views in Zululand, from the river meandering below to the distant Lebombo Mountains.
Big 5 game drives take you through well stocked, unspoilt bush veld and endless rivers winding through indigenous forest, a birders paradise. Our guided walking safaris offer an intimate encounter with the African bush veld and Big 5 animals taking you to places beyond the reach of vehicles. Join our mid day waterhole lookout activity to watch an array of animals coming down to drink from our unique waterhole setting.
Luxury accommodation in 9 well appointed, stone chalets with a hammock and private plunge pool nestled in the cliff tops overlooking the river below. Our sought after chef will prepare your tantalizing meals, which can be accompanied by your choice of wine from our multi-award winning cellar.
Entrust us with those special occasions. Our picture perfect backdrop lends itself as an intimate setting for a romantic wedding, honeymoon or just a well deserved break.
A DAY AT LEOPARD MOUNTAIN LODGE:
Awakening to the last of the nocturnal sounds you will begin your day with a good cup of coffee and some traditional rusks before embarking on your first game drive with your knowledgeable guide. For guests looking for a more interactive safari, booking a Guided Walking Safari is an experience not to be missed.
On return to the lodge, a delectable breakfast awaits after which you can enjoy a leisurely morning at your own pace or join your ranger for a mid-day Waterhole experience. Relax in our superb hide and watch as an array of animals comes down to drink.
Build your own picnic basket for two from our selection of salads, cold meat, crudités and pates to enjoy at your own leisure around the bird pond, on the main lodge deck or simply relaxing on your private balcony. Take a minute for yourself and be pampered at our tranquil Africology Spa.
In the early afternoon, you will be invited to come and enjoy an Afternoon Tea while overlooking the spectacular views from the deck. After quenching your thirst and having a bite to eat, you will be off again with your guide to explore some different areas on the Reserve. During your drive you will be treated to a sundowner while you watch the sun set over the mountains and perhaps hear the distant roar of lions.
On return to the lodge, you will have the opportunity to freshen up before a dinner under the African skies. After a delicious boma feast paired with one of our hand selected wines from our award winning wine cellar, one can sit around the bonfire and share exciting stories of the days wildlife encounters.
