The suites are generously spacious and immense in stature. Air-conditioning and overhead fans provide welcome respite against the harsh African heat. Head Chef, Crisma Zaayman, ensures that every meal at Leopard Hills becomes a special occasion, preparing fresh, wholesome and honest cuisine. From breakfast, lunch to dinner. Guests will experience 'soul food' full of decadent flavours from around the world, finishing with a touch of Africa in every meal.
A new addition to Leopard Hills, the treatment sala and gym have proved very popular. Enjoy an array of massage treatments in the glass-fronted sala, than gazing at the wondrous bushveld below.

At Leopard Hills, Africa's big game abounds and each day is different, as you explore the endless fascination of Africa's wildlife in an open landrover. Leopard on the hunt. Lions roar at twilight. Hippo wallow in the river. Crocodile bask on a sandy bank. Overhead majestic eagles keep watch. Out walking you will discover some of the endlessly fascinating small creatures of Africa. These are just a few of the amazing encounters awaiting you! Your knowledgeable and professional ranger conducts early morning and late afternoon/evening game drives, in search of Africa's game. Walks through the bush take place just after breakfast, on request, and is the best way of experiencing the 'finer' aspects of the bushveld. Your ranger will guide you though the fauna and flora of the Sabi Sand Reserve, pointing out insects, grasses, trees and smaller species that are all an integral part of the greater Kruger National Park ecosystem.

Accommodation: Phinda Forest Lodge
Phinda Forest Lodge is situated in the depths of the botanically unique Sand Forest. The bedroom suites of classic Japanese architecture, were hand-built on small stilts by the Zulu people. Guests experience the sensuous delight of luxurious minimalism offset by the verdant forest scene beyond the chalet's glass walls. These raised glass-encased chalets have a bedroom, lounge and spacious en suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Outside, wooden decks have been erected around the growing trees. Although surrounded on three sides by glass, the fertile forest floor and towering torchwood trees ensure privacy in each of the chalets. Constructed to minimise impact on the unique Sand Forest, the air-conditioned rooms are raised off the ground to allow smaller animals, such as the tiny red duiker, suni antelope and rare red squirrel complete freedom of movement along the forest floor below.
The central dining area, lounge and shaded swimming pool of this secluded camp overlook a tranquil open grassy vlei (wetland pan). The elevated lookout deck is a prime bird-watching spot for the approximately 400 species at Phinda.
